How to Use Audio Feedback
Enhance Viewer Interactivity with Audio Feedback in Cinema8
When viewers click on an area in the video or answer a question, you can enable them to listen to audio as feedback. Let's look at some examples:
Clickable Areas
Add the audio element you will use for feedback to the video timeline. Turn off the Visible feature from its Properties panel.
Next, click on the On Click feature in the Properties panel of the clickable area added to your video. Select Play Audio from the list, choose the name of the audio from the Target Track list, and save it. When the viewer clicks this area, the audio file will play.
Questions
Add a question to the video timeline, such as a Single Select Question.
Click the settings button for the option where you want to provide feedback. In the Set Variable section, define a variable. For instance, accept this option as the correct answer and write answer
as the Key and true
as the value. Save your settings.
Now, add the audio element to be used for feedback to the timeline, setting its time interval to one second after the question. Turn off the Visible feature in the Properties panel.
Next, add a Conditional Action element to the timeline to control the response. In the opened window, click Add Condition. Select the variable you created (e.g., answer
) in the first box, then choose the condition (e.g., =
) in the middle box, and finally enter the value (e.g., true
) to establish equality. Save your settings.
In the Conditional Action Properties area, match the time interval with the audio. Under Condition Actions, select Play Audio from the Action list, then choose the audio name from the Target Track list, and save it.
When previewing the video, if the viewer selects the correct answer, the condition will trigger, and audio feedback will play.
