I'm importing video or audio clips to a slide and the timeline seems to auto adjust to 992 seconds or something (might the be standard size of my video clip) but then I have to crop the audio but the timeline stays at 992 and I'm having to manually adjust it down to 445 or 224 or whatever my end point is. I know I can set the end point for each item on the timeline, is there ANY way to set the end point for the timeline besides manually adjusting it? I guess my fear is that if I don't, there will be "dead air" at the end of the slide before it goes to the next slide. And adjusting from 992 seconds down to 225 is tedious.
I would also suggest that they make it possible to align an item to a cue point start AND stop point. I have wanted to align several images between two cue points and since they default to be the length of the slide, which defaulted to 992 seconds, I have to manually reset those as well (although I can adjust the length).

Sounds like a good feature request, Anna! At this time, I don't believe there is a way to do that.
If you're concerned about the "dead air," you could possibly add a trigger that jumps to the next slide when the video completes.

Anna,
Look at the Screenr here. http://community.articulate.com/forums/p/18864/106607.aspx#106607
You do have to manually shorten the timeline, but you can scroll rapidly and automatically.
