[Xerte-dev] Re: An idea about timings in media lessons

[Smith, Bradley]

I almost definitely won’t have time to do much until after the conference has started, though maybe if anyone is interested in working on it with me at the Hackathon? Thanks for the offer of help, John, if we end up planning something I’ll be sure to include you in case you can take part remotely.

One thing has occurred to me, though: it looks like every event that you want to play during the video takes a fixed synch point, and thus the order in which the events appear in the editor has no bearing on when they actually show up.

This way if all of my synch points use the latter format I only need up update the one immediately after new clip in my video.
