How do I restore timing after deleting sound?

Hi Jeney,

You can give your users control of when to advance slides by going to Slide Properties, then clicking the Advance box and changing the drop down to By User.

Hope that does the trick!

Actually, I did that originally.  Unfortunately, after I deleted teh sound, the slides behave as though the sound is still here.  In other words, even though the slides properties as set to "By Use", there is a long pause before the button becomes active, mimicking the time it took for the sound to play.

I may have deleted the sound in the wrong way.  I opened the Audio Editor, selected everything and hit delete.  Apparently, the "Synch Animation" remained.  Now what? 

You will need to clear the sync animations for each slide, by using the clear button

That sounds like what I'm looking for.  Where can I find that button?

click sync animations there is a clear button on the window that opens up, you will need to it for all slides that have sync set

I think Phil may be thinking of annotations rather than animations. Jeney, what are your settings for the first two bullets from Step #3 of this?:http://www.articulate.com/support/presenter09/?p=40

#1 is 1 second

#2 is 0 seconds

Here's the thing:  I went ahead and followed Phil's advice (using the All Clear button on the Annotation tab) and it worked. The odd thing is that all slides get reset to 3 seconds each (which works for me, but I don't know where that is coming from unless it's the speed that I always use to get from Synch Annimations, to Clear All, back to Stop Annimations).

Any other ideas?

Hey Jeney, glad you found a solution!

Regarding the 3 second slide duration, that's probably the default time in your Presentation Options. On the Articulate menu, click Presentation Options > Publish and you can change the default duration here (as you can see, mine's set for 1 second):

Peter, thanks, that is what I meant.

3 seconds is probably what you have set as default for slides without audio, think this can be set in presentation ioptions, sorry not got studio on this machine so unable to check

Thanks Jeanette,

Yup, that should do it! Thanks Phil and Jeanette!

The setting for Presenter Options/Publish Options/Slides without annimations is set to 1 second.  But who'se complaining??  I'm OK with 3 seconds.

Thank you all for your help. 

PS Does everyone work on Sundays????   Nobody else around in this office!!

Thanks again.

One last thing:  I've determined that just clicking Start Sync/Stop Sync in quick succession also works and reduces the time to under a second. The All Clear may not do anything after all. 

LOL. One more thing you could try, if you wanna try to get the time down to 1 second, is to import a blank 1-second audio file on the slide. Then republish. Attached is a blank file you could use if you want. Don't lose it, it's kinda small. (haha)

Good idea.  Thank you, Jeannette.  You guys are great.
