Hi

Here is a problem to solve for you all 🙂

I would like to have two videos on the same slide. I understand this cant be done up front but maybee some one out here have solved it.

I would like to have two vidoes on top of each other then switch between the two by pressing the keyboard.

Is this posible in any way?  Im using the latest captivate 11.1

    Are you using 11.8.1 which was just released?

    You can have two videos on a slide, even in states, provided they are event videos. However those videos will play totally independent of Captivate. What do you mean exactly by 'switching' between the two video? Do you mean that one video will need to be paused and the other than starts playing from where it paused and vice versa? Or do you mean something else? And do the two video need to be visible all the time?

    Yes I got a prerelease from adobe.

    I would prefer to use embedded video from Vimeo to keep the size down of the project.
    I will be running to videos at the same time on top of each other so only one will be visible at a time. They will be synced and the user will be able to press the keyboard to switch between them.

    Thats my idea at least 🙂

    What do you mean by 'be synced'. You didn't really answer my questions.

    Since only one needs to be visible, insert each video in states in a multistate object. Create a button with the action 'Go to Next State ....' and add a shortcut key to that button if you want to use the keyboard.
