Default Slide Length
Dec 05, 2016

I somewhat new to Storyline 2 but have been able to create a course which I continue to "tweak". The problem is when I save changes and open the file again, some of the slides seem to default to a length of 110 seconds regardless of the slides original timeline including video, interactions, etc. Mostly this just adds blank space to the end of the slide content and I have to readjust the slide length. I'm baffled as to why this is happening, any thoughts?

Hi Lisa! Welcome to Heroes!
Sorry to hear you're having this issue with the timeline. A few things to check before we dive deeper: are you using the latest update of Storyline 2 Update 11? Are you working from your local hard drive?
We'll work together to get to the bottom of this, but in the mean time, I wanted to share a tip of how to reduce the duration of your timeline quickly: scroll to the end of the timeline, hold down the left arrow key on your keyboard, then click and drag the timeline to the left. The timeline should jump back to the duration of the longest object.
Hi Alyssa,
Yes, I'm using the most recent update of Storyline 2 however I have been working from an external thumb drive.
Hey there Lisa! That could be what's causing the saving inconsistencies you're seeing. I'd recommend working locally as described in the article Alyssa shared above and seeing if that resolves it. Let us know how it goes! :)
Thanks, I'll try working locally exclusively to see if the saving inconsistencies persist.
