Timeline changes when pasting shape from another slide
Jan 13, 2013
Hello,
I am having some trouble with the timeline and am curious if anyone is having the same problem and hopefully have a solution.
I have an animated title bar on some my slides that flies in from right. The original shape is less than five seconds on the timeline but whenever I paste this onto a new slide it changes the timeline end from 5 seconds to 192 seconds. I am having this problem on multiple courses. The problem seems to be whenever I paste a shape with animation and it always sets the timeline end to 192 seconds. Is anyone else having this issue or am I just doing something wrong? Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Cameron,
I just tried to recreate this in a test file, but I'm unable to do so. Out of curiosity, have you installed Update 2 already?
Also, are you able to share a .story file where you're experiencing this issue so I can take a look?
Thanks!
Well, I'm not sure why I didn't just put it on the slide master to begin with. I made the animated graphic on the master and just added a second placeholder text box for that graphic. It eliminates the issue of having to paste it on each slide which is causing the timeline issue.
To answer your question, I do have the Update 2 installed. Not sure this is worth pursuing further since there's a better way to do it anyways.
Thanks for your reply.
Good morning Cameron!
That's awesome. I'm glad you were able to get it working Sounds like you're all set. If you run into any trouble with this in the future, let me know.
Have a great day!
