Timing of Animation
Feb 21, 2023

I'm playing around with creating a timer (Storyline, when will this be a built in feature?) and almost have it. However, the timing of the animation I am using seems to be off and it is driving me nuts! I set it for 59 seconds but it is completing twice as fast as it should be, so going through 2 rotations when it should only be going through one! I cannot figure it out so I'm bringing it to the experts!
You will see that the variable is working, but the graphic is not. Obviously, I want them both to work.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Entrance and Exit Animations are limited by the timeline, (Motion paths are not)
Therefore, in your case, since your wheel animation has a 59 second entrance and a 59 second exit, your slide would need to be 118 seconds to accommodate those animations and play at the correct speed.
Thanks Ron, I knew I was missing something obvious. That fixed the animation!!!
Love this community!
For anyone that is interested, here is the working prototype. You can make the timer any length (in minutes) by changing the value of the variable. I haven't adjusted the seconds as I'm not interested in that yet, but a minor adjustment would allow a seconds timer as well. Cheers!
