Adjusting total display time
Hi,
Is there a way to adjust the total display time (other than dragging the line)?
Long story, SME sent me a file where a slide is 3000 seconds long. Figured out that one of the objects was pasted from another training, and so I ungrouped the object and adjusted the timing of the object to 58 seconds. But the total display time is stuck at 3000 seconds and dragging it back will take longer than I want.
Glad this older thread still is assisting users like you Valeria - and feel free to let us know if you have any other questions.
Glad that this thread was able to help you out as well Muhammad. Welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)

So this didn't work for me and my 2513s timeline (not kidding!!), BUT I have SL2.
So after some research I found if I added a cue point at the beginning then used the tip (drag plus arrow) it works brilliantly!
Glad that little extra piece solved it for you, Bethany! Thanks for sharing. 🌟

Drag the end of the timeline to change slide duration
Drag the end of the timeline to the left to reduce the duration of the slide. (Tip: If you need to reduce the duration dramatically, begin dragging the end of the timeline, then press the left arrow key on your keyboard. It'll automatically snap to the last/longest object in the timeline.)https://articulate.com/support/article/tips-for-reducing-slide-duration-via-the-timeline

Saved a lot of time. Fixing someone else's project with 10 slides with a duration of 55 minutes each. With this tip only took a few minutes to fix.
