I am wanting to insert time (seconds) at various time points in a timeline with existing objects and amimations. This used to be possible with Presenter where you could insert the amount of time and the objects/narration would be pushed back along the timeline without affecting the syncing of animations. Can this be done in Storyline 2 and if so, how can I do so.
1. Simply drag and extend the end bar ( farthest right of the timeline) the extra amount of time you need. Right click any objects on the timeline and select " show until end" , Then paste your new items at the appropriately timed insertion points. But you may still have to tweak their start and end times by dragging their right and left sides.
2. Make a layer. Place your items on it. Makes sure "pause timeline of base layer" is selected, as well as "Hide slide layer when timeline finishes". Adjust the end time to match what you want. This method will open a layer, play the extra content, and then dispose of the layer and resume your main timeline again.
I am still hoping that there is a way to insert time at a point in the timeline that is currently built like in presenter where you could just insert seconds at a time at the required point.
I'm not sure I entirely understand your question, but Storyline and Presenter deal with the timing of elements a bit differently, and I thought you may want to review the information here in regards to the timeline and what options are available to use there.

Hi Megan,
In SL , the two ways I know of are:
1. Simply drag and extend the end bar ( farthest right of the timeline) the extra amount of time you need. Right click any objects on the timeline and select " show until end" , Then paste your new items at the appropriately timed insertion points. But you may still have to tweak their start and end times by dragging their right and left sides.

Hope this helps.
Thank you for your suggestions.
