Tutorial
Interactive video interactions for every moment.
See what buttons, hotspots, questions, images, drawings, chapters, comments, and multimedia do and when to use each one.
What it covers
Interactions, step by step
The interaction set
Buttons, hotspots, images, text, drawings, chapters, and questions, with the job each one does.
Placing one on the timeline
Choosing the moment, the region of the frame, and whether the video pauses and waits.
Questions and answers
Scored, typed, spoken, and drawn responses, and how each is recorded against the viewer.
Why it matters
Most of what looks complex is three elements
Interactive video sounds like a production problem. In practice a strong experience is a handful of well-placed elements on an ordinary recording.
- Match each viewer action to the right interaction type
- Know which interactions pause the video and which do not
- Understand what each one reports back
