Step 1: Create a New Script Called "Video Content" (1:00 in Video)

Now, let's add video content to the scenario! First, you need to create a new script. 

  • Click on Script icon

  • Open Scripts Catalog

  • Click Add New Script

  • Name the script Video Content

  • Click on the title to open the script editor

  • Collapse the catalog menu

  • Rename the New Frame as Play Video

Next, we want to add the ability to play the video in this frame and for that, we will use the resources.

  • Go to the Resources tab

  • Find the Screen Media resource under Playable Content

...

  • Drag and drop Screen Media to the Resource area

  • Click on + beside Media

When you click on +, a media catalog will open from the right sidebar.

  • Click on Workshop Videos

  • Choose Motive Marketing Video

Training Notes

If you wanted to anchor the video to a location in the scene, such as the back wall of the workshop, you would create an anchor. For now, we will have it appear in front of the learner so we will leave the anchor blank.  

  • Save (No need to test yet)

Step 2: Add the Video Content Script to the Director Script (3:20 in Video)

As you've learned previously, all scripts must be added to the Director Script in order to play.

  • Open the Director Script

  • Create a new frame on the same level as the others

  • Rename the frame Video Content

  • Click on the Script icon in the upper right-hand corner of the screen

  • Drag and drop the Video Content Script into the Resource area

  • Save

The Director Script will now look like this:

...

  • STOPSave and Test. Now, when you launch the scenario, you should see the video pop up after the screen message closes. 

Info

Note that, while the "Ambience" frame and the "Launch Welcome Message" frame will open at the same time when the experience launches, the "Video Content" frame will only open after the Welcome Message is closed by the learner. We'll learn more about the order that frames launch, in the next Tutorial.

This is what your scenario will look like so far:
