Free asset – Using markers with overlays to make things easier!
I am an agile coach and an executive leadership coach. I typically work with organizations who want to transform their culture, often involving many people, like my current client of 300,000 people. I'm hoping to learn to do eLearning well enough to scale myself.

Hi all – this is a re-usable asset with a focus on both markers and overlays in an interactive video. I discovered something really interesting in putting this together. It’s that when you are inserting overlays, the possible overlay slides show up pretty small, and unless you have large font or images, they can be hard to see, making it hard to distinguish which one you need.

But fun fact! You can insert markers to show you the exact position in which to insert the overlay slides, and THEN go back, look at the overlay slides directly, and return to the interactive video to insert the correct overlay slide in the correct place.

Captivate makes this look so professional, and I’m excited to demo it at our next sprint review, for the new product managers that I hope will find it useful.

I have published several interactive videos, where I use navigation to bookmarks. Here is one link:

Strange… you have full control over the overlay slides and the bookmarks. Did you read this post which I wrote quite a while ago?
