Classic interactive video glossary

This feature requires an Enterprise plan.

Classic interactive video has some terminology that not everyone may be accustomed to. Here are some terms you should be aware of when learning about and using interactive features:

• Branching/Time Triggers: Jump between points in a video or pause the video to allow the viewer to choose their path. 
• Click out URL: The action of going to another website from the video.
• Grab-net: This is the invisible click area of a hotspot. Note that if you’re adding a sticky hotspot, it also defines the pixel area of the object for accurate motion tracking, so it's worth spending a little time getting your grab-net just right.
• Pause point: A time trigger action that pauses the video at a set time. This is often used in branching experiences where the viewer is forced to take action (e.g., tap a hotspot or a button on an overlay) to continue the video.
• Hotspot: The hotspot is the area of the video that acts as a hitbox - clicking on the hotspot will lead to the content.
• iFrame: An iframe allows an external webpage to be placed inside another.
• Overlay: An Overlay is a pop-up that you'll add your interactive content to, whether it be an iframe, a video, a PDF, etc.
• Poster frame: This is the cover image of your video that greets viewers before the video starts.
• Save interactive settings: The save interactive settings button saves the hotspots and overlays you've designed for a given project as a template for use later on. You can access your custom fonts in the interactive studio.

• FPS (Frames Per Second): A measurement of the number of frames rendered per second, indicating the smoothness of motion in visual content.

• Milliseconds (ms): A unit of time measuring the duration it takes for a single frame to be rendered, influencing the responsiveness of interactive elements.
