Question

Loading message - interactive video with slide overlays

Hi there,

I have a few interactive videos with overlaying knowledge check question slides.  The knowledge check slide interupts the video which is what I want but once the question is answered and the video starts playing again a "loading" message comes up.  If it lasts too long the next knowledge check question doesn't come up at the right time but finally comes up when the "loading" message goes away.  Obviously this isn't going to work as it messes up the timing of these other overlays.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Dale

    Have no idea how you did set up the Overlay slides, their actions? This seems very weird, never had that problem myself. Can you show the Quiz Properties of those overlay slides?

      Thanks for the response.  

      (Using Captivate 2019 on PC)

      The method I took for these was

      • Built knowledge check question slides
      • Started on my video slide by selecting the "interactive video" button
      • Uploaded a video from my pc
      • Used the "overlay" bar on the timeline of my video slide to link to the overlay knowledge check slides.

       

      This is the quiz properties for a knowledge check overlay slide, all are set the same.

       

      Is there a better option than "continue" on the knowledge check success actions?

       

      I thought that maybe once I published it and uploaded to our LMS that it would smooth out, I was wrong.  I get the same thing in my captivate preview as I do once published and uploaded in the LMS.  That slide starts playing with no issue, the first knowledge check comes up as expected, answer the question correctly, video resumes but light gray dim with "loading" message, if it doesn't clear before the next KC slide it delays that slide until the loading message goes away.  This messes up the timing of the KC slides and is frustrating to have the "loading" message in front of the video.

       

      Any advice is much appreciated.  I'm really happy with the project if I could just work out this one issue.

      Can you check the pausing point of the KC slides? Do you have slide audio on them?
