Calculating total time of narrations, media, words

Hi John,

It'll show you that as one of the publishing pieces of information - but it's just calculated based on slide timelines so it does not take into account layers, web objects, etc. 

For a word count, you could look at exporting the translation document as that will give you a word file that you could then do the Word count on the one column? 

Thanks Ashley - is your screenshot from a dialog box in SL 3? I am using SL 2 at present. When I get to that 'reporting and tracking' dialog box, it's not the same as your screenshot. You seem to have a drop-down field with 'calculate automatically' selected, then a field showing the result.

I just see a 'version' field containing '1' (which doesn't seem related?) and a 'duration' field, that is empty.

if you can help further, that would be helpful

Thanks

Hi John

see this Peek video and see if that helps you - this is taken of SL2 publish window- sorry about the background noise of the news ;-)

Thanks Wendy, that's fixed it for me - I realised from your that it was the Project Info I wanted, not the Reporting and Tracking window.

Sorry John - it was Storyline 3 I was using, but the same information carries through. The top of my image was cut off though, so hard for you to know how I got there. ;-) 

Hi Ashley (or whoever picks this up) -- this is an old conversation, but relevant to my question. I'm using Storyline 360. My SME asked how long the module would be. Publish/LMS/Project Info (3 dots next to title) tells me when Calculated Automatically, the Duration is 31 minutes. When I add up all the audio files in the module, it's 17 minutes (this includes audio on layers and also videos). What accounts for the difference?

Hey there, Ann. Do you have slides without audio? The estimated duration simply uses the timeline length of each slide.
