Screen sits too long after animations (playlist used)

Hi all,

I have two screens in the beginning of my course that include all "after previous" animations set on a delay.  I've been using a playlist in the background for these two screens, with each screen playing for less than a one minute each.

The first round of building screens & publishing went great.  Since then, we added a few seconds to the end of the playlist audio, reinserted it, and now both Screen 1 and Screen 2 are playing for over 4 minutes!  (The animations run through in the exact same timing, but then they sit for 3 minutes before the screen moves on.)  I went into Audio Editor to see if there was "time" I could delete, but there's really nothing to delete, it looks fine.  I don't understand where all this extra time came from, and can't seem to get rid of it.

One thing to note: The new length of each screen seems strangely similar to the length of the playlist.

Any thoughts as to how this happened and solutions?

Thanks!

Jen
