Adding Images Fills Whole Timeline

Jul 29, 2020

First I'm very new to Storyline 360.  We just purchased.  So here is my questions.

Why is it that when I add an image to Storyline 360 it fills the entire timeline?  I'm adding a different sticky note to my learning.  Replacing 1 with 2.

Yes I know I can replace the image, but this "feature/bug"bothers me.  I don't want new images to take up the entire timeline because I then have to take the time to zoom out and scroll to the end to drag the ending handle all the way back to where I actually want it to start.

Is there a way around this?  In Camtasia I just set the default length for images to 5 seconds.  Storyline's options are, well, basically non-existent.

Thanks,

Will

By default, the object is set to show until end since Storyline only knows you are adding something to the screen. It will show it for the entire time that screen is visible. 

If you want to change the object, right click on the object on the timeline, and you should see this timing box.

  • Deselect show until end
  • Set how long you want the object to appear.
