Setting Length of Timeline (again)

Hi Bruce

I think they have implemented the 'Java randomizer'

Geert

Turns out that a corrupt (?) 8-second audio file is causing this, but that "Undo" will not reset the timeline length

So - off to build the slide from scratch AGAIN.....

Hi Bruce,

I had a similar problem where the timeline length automatically extended to 3,000 seconds even though the layers were 10 seconds long!  I didn't want to manually drag the end of the timeline back to 30 seconds so here's what I did to "solve" the issue:

1. Create a new layer on the problematic slide which has the extended timeline (Note: creating a new layer will default the timeline slide to 5 seconds)
2. Copy the original layer items (i.e. hold SHIFT on your keyboard and select all the components on your timeline)
3. Paste the items in your new layer
4. Adjust the timeline end to your liking by dragging to the left

I like this option more than starting from scratch!

Hope that helps!

This issue is a serious pain in the butt, really think it time this was sorted out

Yeah, this just happened to me and gave me a 20,000-second long slide.
