Can I specify the playback range of the slide video?

I'm making an interactive video. When I press the button, it jumps to the specified bookmark, but it plays to the end. I want to specify the range like playback from bookmark 1 to bookmark 2 by pressing the button. Is it possible?

    I see!
    After all you are my god!
    Although I'm a video creator, I'm a captivate beginner, so I was saved a lot. I also want to be a captivate freak like you.
    I'm going to try FileZilla from now on.
    I'm really thankful to you!
    I was impressed with your actions!
    In the future, I think there will be things that I don't understand. Can I ask a question again at that time?


    Sure, I also upload with FileZilla.

    There are more people around here... some with specific expertise (JS, LMS...). I am around here (when I am awake of course) daily, but also in the eLearning community. Fire away.... Have a look at this (meant for starting Captivate users):

    Each of those 3 topics have been treated in many blogs (have a list for each of them). Although my first focus has always been on advanced and shared actions. You cannot miss them 🙂

    Not out of the box. What has to happen at bookmark 2 if this was possible?

    Reply thank you.

    I want to press a button and make scenes 1, 2, 3, and so on.

    If you select Jump to Bookmark for the slide video button, the bookmark will be played to the end of the video, so you cannot divide the scene. I can specify the start of playback, but can't I specify the stop?

    Create an overlay content slide at the second bookmark, and use the On Enter event of that slide to 'Pause'.

    I prefer having a menu (like a TOC) available and give control to the viewing person to 're'view a chapter, or restart it from its beginning.  Here an example (it is a Captivate tutorial, based on a Video Demo):
