Hi, 

I'm not sure if this the right board/program, but i'm looking at how i can play and stop a video within a program, specifically this video one below.

 

https://www.pond5.com/after-effects/item/94797735-timeline-slideshow

 

So it will play the first scene, then pause, then a 'right arrow' button appears to play the next scene/continue the timeline.I have attached an idea of how it would look at each paused scene.

 

Is adobe animate the right program for this?

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

open animate

create a new canvas/html5 project

save it to a new folder with an appended version number (eg, video_project_v000.fla)

copy your video to a subfolder of that new folder

(after every "some" minutes of progess with your project > save as > video_project_v001.fla)

create a layer for your video.

create a keyframe where you want your video to first appear in that layer

from the component panel drag a video component to that frame

with the video component on-stage selected, open the compo

animate can create what you want.

 

whether it's what you should use depends on final deployment.  eg, are you going to publish a html page or a mobile app?

 

if yes, then yes animate is the correct tool.  if no, explain.

create a layer for your video.

create a keyframe where you want your video to first appear in that layer

from the component panel drag a video component to that frame

with the video component on-stage selected, open the component parameters panel > open the source dialogue and navigate to the newly moved video

select that other video options you want

 

then will come the more subtle part of your project. because the video won't be playing in the timeline, you're going to need to use code to track the play time of the video and coordinate the other items you want to appear on-stage and control when to stop the video.

 

i don't think there's an easier way to do this properly.  ie, i don't think you can add video to your canvas timeline.

if you were creating a mobile app, you could.
