Problems with short timelines, anyone?

Good morning all,

 

Is there a minimum timeline length in SL2?

 

I am building up layers on a slide which each contain objects with exit animations and pause / resume timeline triggers.  So it effectively looks like this: Timeline starts - Timeline pauses - Timeline resumes when user clicks hotspot - Timeline ends with object's exit animation.  For this to work effectively I need the timelines to be extremely short, 0.25 or 0.5 seconds.  I shorten all the timelines accordingly and test this in preview mode and it all works fine, but whenever I save the project and re-open, the timelines have all reset back to 8 seconds.

 

Has anyone experienced a similar issue in SL2 or figured out a solution besides manually resetting the timeline on each layer every time I open the project?

 

Thanks

 

Anne

Thanks for the update Anne :)
