Control the amount of time the seekbar shows?
Apr 19, 2011
Is it possible to control the amount of time the seekbar shows for each slide? I found the Presentation Options/Publish Options where it lets me choose the number of seconds the slides without audio or animation display for, so that takes care of my slides with no animations.
However, I have slides where all the animations are done displaying after 2 or 3 seconds, but the seekbar still gives it more than 10 seconds to display. In the example shown here, the text bubble animates very fast at one second (finished by 1.5 seconds), but the seekbar still displays 11 seconds. Is there any way I can control that? Would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks! Kristi

Disregard this question. Somehow the end line on my timeline on a few of my presentation pages got extended way beyond the audio setting. Not sure how that happened, but I'm able to fix the problem by adjusting the end line on the time line.
It looks like maybe these were all slides where we had updated audio based on our final reviews. Some of the pages the audio file lengths for the new files were basically the same. But it seems that the "end" of the timeline was set when the original audio files were put in and the timeline end did not readjust when shorter audio files or screen captures were updated in the files. Now I know to watch for this in the future.
