Hello,

Is there a way to create a slider to control a video timeline?

Thanks!

Hello @aguila.alex,

There is an option in the video asset property to show the video timeline.

With this option you will also be able to scrub through the video. This would be the easiest and smoothest option.

Thanks,
Ryan

Thanks, Ryan. That’s a great option, but is it possible to create a custom timeline? I created a slider following Seb’s tutorial, but I can’t find a way to pass the “timeline value” from the video asset.

@aguila.alex,

Currently there is not a way to create a custom slider that will allow you to scrub through a video smoothly.

It is possible to have triggers with actions that will allow to move to a specific time in the video, when you do this the video will need to be playing or paused, and the result will be the video jumping to the set time.

If this is what you are looking to do then you would use the set timeline action:

Then enter the time in minutes and seconds that you want to move to.

Using a slider to control video timeline playback would be a very useful feature.

Hello @websupport and welcome to the Community,

So you know there is a timeline included within the Video asset:

To see this you need to check the Show timeline option in the Video asset properties.

Thanks Ryan, I have seen this functionality but as with the previous commenter, I actually wish to use a customised graphic slider to control the video playback rather than the default video controls.

I have managed to get by by adding more images to a Group collection and controlling the visibility with a customised slider using the scroll asset.
