Anyone else always having to go to the end and shorten timeline?
As I make modules, I am forever finding that for strange unknown reasons, my slide timelines' overall lengths get lengthened way out like 60 seconds long or so, and I am constantly having to scroll...

Hello Julianna and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
Sorry to hear that you are frustrated by this feature of the timeline.
- When inserting audio or video, the slide will increase for the file
- When copying and pasting an object from one slide to another, the object's original length is maintained - so the length of that slide may increase too
If you'd rather not keep the additional time, you can adjust this by dragging the End line. (See also: Tips for Reducing Slide Duration Via the Timeline)

If you wish to see this handled differently, we would love to hear your thoughts/ideas here.
