What does the Change Time feature do?
Use Change Time to jump to another point in the same video from a click action or automatic navigation.
Short answer
Change Time moves playback to another timecode in the same video. Attach it to a button, hotspot, image, text interaction, or answer when the viewer should choose the jump; use a Navigation when the jump should happen automatically at a set time.
How to do it
- Choose the destination timecode and make sure it starts at a clean visual and audio boundary.
- For a viewer choice, add an interaction and select Change Time as its click action.
- For an automatic skip, add a Navigation and select Change Time.
- Preview from before the trigger and test loops, return paths, captions, and progress reporting.
Use it for in-video branching and skips
Change Time can create a chapter menu, skip a section that does not apply, replay an explanation, or build a “try again” loop without switching to another video.
Prevent infinite loops
A jump back to an earlier point needs a clear exit condition. Conditional logic or a changed variable can make the retry available once without trapping a viewer who answered correctly.
