Running update 7, SL is randomly adding 10, 20, 30 seconds or more silence to the end of the timeline.
This is more difficult than it sounds. There's no warning, and the timeline is not always the last thing I look at. Noticing it on one slide, I went through the deck and found six slides out of twenty had more than 10 seconds of silence added.
Yes, this happens on more than one .story file and they're different, not derivatives of each other.
This frequently happens when you shift things around on the timeline. It usually happens to me when I am trying to time objects on the slide to appear and disappear with video or audio.
The attached video shows one of the many ways Storyline finds to extend your timeline.
No, I don't have any more concrete examples, because when it happens, it is inadvertent and I don't notice it until later, so I cannot pinpoint it to what caused it.
You're not the only one it happens to, but I don't have a solution. I have changed my procedures to be a little more proactively preventive, but it still happens.
Hi, Sam -- I would have to agree with Walt's input here. If you add elements such as media to the timeline and clip it, that it'll keep the timeline extended to that point, so if you could demonstrate where the timeline extended, we'd definitely be happy to take a look for you.
I guess no one else is seeing this happen unintentionally. I'll keep an eye on it to see if I can identify what I was doing that created this issue, but it wasn't what Walt pointed out.

Thanks for the clarification, Sam, and any additional info you can provide will, as always, be appreciated. :)
