Captions for multiple audio files

ActivePresenter
1

I have the following scenario: there is a slide with five hotspots. I have a corresponding audio file for each hotspot. Users can click on any hotspot in any order to listen to the audio files. However, I need to provide captions for all of them for accessibility.

I understand that there is no option to add multiple caption lines to the timeline, so I think I have to have all audio files in one line one after the other with one caption line (see screenshot).The problem is that I now need to control where the playhead starts playing from. For example, interact with hotspot 2, would move the playhead where audio 2 starts and display the captions above it.

As an alternative it would be great if:

  • there was an action ‘Go to time’
  • create sections on the timeline
  • click sequence could control where the playhead jumps for the user.

At least I haven’t seen a solution for such a scenario.

Hi,

Thank you for your question. We will forward this to our development team for further consideration of this feature. In the meantime, you can use the following workarounds:

• Split the slide.
• Use JavaScript: slideTime(time). You can find more details on page 296 of the User Manual.
If you want the slide to pause at each section, add an interaction at the end of each section and set it to pause: tick the Pause presentation to wait for user input checkbox.
