Add, edit, and delete a time trigger

Interactive allows time triggers that are automatic triggers performing functions at a given point in your video without the need for viewer interaction - e.g. automatically pause or loop video, or display an overlay. 

You can add a time trigger in the Interactive Studio.

In this article:

• Add a time trigger
• Edit an existing time trigger
• Delete a time trigger

Add a time trigger

1. Start playing your video either by pressing the space bar or clicking on the player bar. 
2. Select the specific time on the video timeline where you would like to add the time trigger. 
3. Click the (+) icon in the top right-hand corner of the screen under the ‘Time trigger’ section.
4. Click the Add at… button on the Settings panel.

Edit an existing time trigger

You can update and edit the trigger time in two ways:

• Either manually enter the time in the settings panel or,
• By dragging the flowline on the video timeline. 

Delete a time trigger

1. Click on the time trigger in the video timeline.
2. Navigate the settings panel, and scroll to the bottom to delete the time trigger.

⚠️Note: When comparing FPS to milliseconds, be aware that time-trigger input values may behave differently than expected due to variations in the rendering engine process.
