Hello - When I publish a powerpoint presentation in Articulate and then put it on our LMS system, the time bar seems slow and once the animated slide is complete the time bar is still going and I want to know how to shorten it and time it correctly. Any advice?
Is there additional audio or silence at the end of an audio file on your slide that could be causing the additional time? The duration of each slide is controlled by its audio, video, and/or animations. Slides that don't include any audio, video, or animations default to the number of seconds specified in Presenter Options.
How do I edit slide timing? I am timing out on slides and I want to add more time. I'm use to working in SL1 & SL2 and for the life of me I can't figure it out. The sample video is very vague in my regards in how to do this.....please help.
What do you mean "timing out" ? You posted this in the Presenter forum but referenced Storyline - so I'm not sure which you're using? The slide timeline is determined by audio/media elements that you've added - otherwise the default time is about 5 seconds. Although, if you have the course set up to advance by the user instead of automatically they should stay on the slide until clicking the next button to proceed.
I'm using Presenter 13 but the 5 seconds isn't enough for my slide. I have three boxes fading in a graph in which I am trying to highlight an area where text needs to be entered. But when I preview the slide, the third box doesn't come in....it stops at two boxes.
You can change the default timing within the Presenter options as detailed here. Otherwise, the duration of each slide is controlled by its audio, video, and/or animations. If you're animations are not playing correctly and you've already checked into the slide timing and animation set up, we'll likely want to take a look at the file to see how it's behaving. Are you able to share a copy of your Presenter package here with us?
hi guys, theres a set of pages in my studio 13 course that runs for 40 seconds (locked) and the learner is forced to sit there... there is no audio and no competing animations lets after several seconds and i cant for the life of me limit this time by making any settings or animation adjustments! please help this is super urgent.
Would you mind sharing your Articulate Package with us so we can take a closer look at your setup? It'll help us get a clear picture of what's happening, and we'll delete it after troubleshooting. You can send the project to us privately in a case here.

Hi Ashley
Yes I have animations and I will look at the options you have given below.
Many thanks for your help.

Thanks.....I will check out the link and I don't know if I can share my work...the work is stamped confidential.
Understandable Anthony and if you'd prefer or are able to share privately you can also send along here.
