Interactive Video - A list or panel of interactions separate from the playbar

Feature requests

I'm not sure if this is a feature request or a bug of sorts.

Steps to repeat:

  1. Upload a video file to Interactive Video, let's say it's 10 minutes long.
  2. Add an interation at the 9 minute mark and save the project.
  3. Replace the video with a shorter 8 minute video.

The interaction at 9 minutes is still there, but you can't reach it in the editor. No way to edit or delete it. I've attached an example. The final interaction is beyond the end of the video.

The only workaround I've found is to replace the video with a new file that's long enough to make the interaction accessible, manipulate the interaction so it's within the proper timframe for the replacment video, then replace the video again with the new version. This is very labor intensive. If the video file is very large then it's also a very time consuming process.

A great feature would be a list or panel that contains all of the interactions so that you can edit them separately from the video's timeline/playbar.

Hi dtenter,

It's a little bit of both. 

It's a bug or at least a missing function to remove the intertactions beyond the video's time. Although I think the reason why this was not added is that it is seldom that the video is replaced.

It is also a good feature request to have a list of interactions not just to avoid the issue but also to help authors manage the interactions efficiently.
