Elapsed time capture

Hi Ray,

Storyline 360 has elapsed time variables for scenes, slides, and entire projects but it doesn't look like we have them for layers. If you'd like this feature added to Storyline, you can submit a feature request. When any news about this becomes available, we will update this conversation.

In the meantime, I'm including a link about the current time-lapse features that are available.

Storyline 360: Elapsed Time Variables

Thanks for reaching out!

Hi John.

Thank you for the response.

I have already explored the three existing elapsed time variables, but unfortunately, they map time in ways that don't help in resolving my objective (unless someone has an idea how to manipulate them to do so).

Hopefully, some of the wonderful Storyline Guru's in this forum can suggest a workaround or another method.

Thanks again.

Update:

Hi all. I decided to use the Slide elapsed time variable and have it jump to a new slide instead of having the layer appear.

Thanks.

With Javascript you can capture the elapsed time in milliseconds.

This code can do the trick...

var startTime, endTime;

function start() {
  startTime = new Date();
};

function end() {
  endTime = new Date();
  var timeDiff = endTime - startTime; //in ms
  console.log(timeDiff + " milliseconds");
}

Thanks Math :)
