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,

Hi ferari94!
Happy to help!
Currently, Storyline does not support a one-click 'snap video to length' feature. Nor is it possible to align an object's end with a specific cue point. I understand having this level of functionality could improve your authoring experience. We've shared your feedback with our product team!
In the meantime, I'll open the floor to our community to share their design suggestions with you!
