I have a learning that is an imported PowerPoint. I'm trying to set a universal slide time in Storyline 360. Is there a way to set a universal time for each slide vs. setting the slide duration for each individual slide?
unfortunately there is no global setting for slide time....when you create a new project the duration is 5 seconds then as you add objects / interactions / audio / video the duration moves to automatically to accommodate those objects or you move it manually when you want objects to appear.
When you create a project by importing from powerpoint it will 'normally' take on the slide duration of the ppt slide AND will also be set to 'advance automatically' - the advance setting can be globally changed in story view by selecting all slides and changing the option to 'by user'.
Hi Sara! Currently, there isn't a universal way to change the slide duration for all the Storyline slides. As a default, and with importing, it's set to 5 seconds. It's been something a few other users have requested. If you'd like to add your voice, you can submit aproduct feature here.

Thank you. Any thoughts on the PowerPoint import? I adjusted the slide duration but it didn't hold when I pulled it into Storyline.

It defaults to 99 seconds in my experience.
Thank you Wendy
Still works well for me. Saved me a lot of time.
