Changing the timeline end

Feb 16, 2015

Hi Everybody,

do you know if there is any method to change the timeline end ?

After adding an audio track and having done a lot of changes to my storyline slide I have to align the end of the timeline with the end of my audio track. Sometimes the End of the other elements goes very far and I have to drag it back wasting a lot of time until it reaches the end of the audio track.

Do you have some tip on this ?

I hope it's clear :)

Thanks a lot,

Mauro

THANKS! That's been annoying me for ages. Perhaps a feature request: Having a "paste to fit timeline" feature / preference or a "lock timeline duration/endpoint".

I have 20 slides in 1 scene and every slide has now 400sec long. (I didn't set them like that though)

If I want to apply this dragging and press left key to make timeline short for all of slides, what can I do? Please let me know.

Thank you very much. :)

Hi Keiko,

That tip has to be done slide by slide. Hopefully, 20 slides won't take you that long to go through!

Dragging the end in the time line and then hitting the left key while dragging! Genius save me loads of time!

The timeline in the articulated storyline has life! When I saved and closed the project, we have a defined time duration. When we open the project again, the timeline changes each time. Is there any solution for this?

Hi TOT Educa,

Thanks for reaching out and sharing what you are experiencing with your project.

With your permission, I'd like to take a look at your project file (please let me know which slide) to investigate what's happening. You can share it publicly here, or send it to me privately by uploading it here. I'll delete it when I'm done troubleshooting.
