Automatically adjusting timeline on layer also adjusts timeline on base layer
Same problem: This issue is either back or was never fixed because this happens to me all the time. I'll get feedback that the base layer runs long. To avoid this, I have to make sure I set the timeline to longest object on the base layer AFTER I set it on all the others. I've gotten in the habit of going back and re-adjusting all base layers before I save/publish a file just to avoid this issue. So a fix would be nice!
Hi, AndreaDamewood!
Thanks so much for reaching out and I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue. I ran a quick test on my end, and I found the timeline on the base layer isn't changing even after I set the timeline to the longest object on another layer.
Can you please confirm you're using the most up-to-date version of Storyline? If you're comfortable sharing your file with our team, we'd be happy to take a closer look to see what's happening! You can upload that here or privately in a support case, and we'll delete it from our systems once troubleshooting is complete.
I am having the same issue using release V3.116.36838.0
Hi BarryHollembeak,
Thanks for following up!
I tested this out using Storyline 360, build 3.117.36909.0, and was able to replicate this issue. It appears this bug was previously marked as resolved, but has been reopened. I've added your name to the report so we can notify you as soon as we have news to share. Although not ideal, a workaround is to manually adjust the timeline instead of using the "Fit timeline to longest object" option.
Please let us know if you have any questions!
