Adjusting object or end of the slide to a cue point

Hello,

I’m having an issue when working with videos in Storyline:

  • When I insert a video, the object duration automatically extends to the end of the slide, even if the video itself is shorter.
  • For example, if my video is 2 minutes long, Storyline often sets the object duration to 4 minutes.
  • To fix this, I have to manually drag the object’s end to match the video length, which is extremely time-consuming when working with multiple videos.

It would be extremely useful to have a feature allowing us to:

  • Snap an object’s end directly to a cue point, or
  • Crop/adjust an object’s duration more easily, without dragging manually.

This is a very common feature in most video editing tools (e.g. Canva, Premiere, etc.), and it would save a huge amount of production time in Storyline projects.

Could you confirm if there’s already a workaround for this, or if such a feature is planned for future releases?

Honestly, it’s really frustrating that such a basic feature is still missing. It feels like a huge gap compared to other tools, and it slows down production massively. I strongly believe this should be prioritized and implemented as soon as possible.

Thanks,
