Play bar for Interactive videos

[Dalibor5CAB]

Hello everyone. I have few slides with interactive videos, overlays... How to make play bar with controls on those slides. I've tried without success with:

• Show playbar on sldie entrance
• Ecxecute advanced action where I assigned cpcmndShowPlayBar with literal 1

Please help.

Thank you.

Although I don't see much advantage to having the project playbar on interactive video slides, it is possible. I emphasize 'project' playbar, because if you have multiple interactive videos, that playbar will not indicate the progress on the video itself.

I just activated the playbar on one of my interactive videos, here is the result:

Personally I think the menu which I created (on top) is much more user friendly than a playbar. The play button of the playbar has not much sense since the video automatically will start playing when the slide is reached. The only relevant button is the CC button IMO. The increased speed button will not be functional, the other buttons are about moving to other slides. Why do you want a playbar?

Here is the output of the video which provided that screenshot, without the playbar::

Custom Play/Pause button

Forgot:  both your workflows are identical, whether you use toggling of the system variable or the simple action.

Thank you for your answer. I would like to alow users to be "in control" of those videos. For example, if someone wish to reaply some pert of video in the variant of interactive video, he/she should restart from the beginign and waiting for 1-2 minutes to see tha needed part. An again I need bookmarks option that enables interactive video.

Did you watch the interactive video for which I posted a link? When creating such a video I used bookmarks to mark logical parts of the video and create a menu that allows the learner to move to a part. Having a playbar will not offer that functionaliyt, it would still be trial and error to scrub to a specific part. The workflow for such a menu is explained in this blog post:

Yes i wathced the video thank you. Solution I found is the most apropirate is this: Restart Slide, Rewind and Fast Forward Controls in Adobe Captivate - YouTube

It remain trial and error in that case, not what interactive video is meant to be. But your 'defintion' of interactive is clearly different from mine.  Passive video also has the buttons you want.
