Can you adjust a slide duration without dragging the end point?
I know this has been asked before but I can't find an answer...
Is it possible to adjust a slide duration without dragging the end point?
I have a slide that is 900 seconds long.
It contains 10 seconds of audio and 890 seconds of silence. When using a seekbar the audio ends and the seekbar is only 5% full.
Every slide in my course is the same and it takes forever manually dragging the end point back to 10 seconds.
I just want a box where I can type in the number of seconds for slide duration, or to right-click on the time line and select "set end point".
thank you, this is useful.
I want to use 'show always' but where it says 'end' what is end? does the text eventually disappear from the screen?
The only way it would disappear with that setting is if you set up an exit animation for it, and then it would disappear accordingly. Otherwise it should remain on the timeline/slide.
Thanks Robert!!! Really TIME SAVING !!
THANK GOD I found this, and thanks for posting the solution.
Glad this was able to assist you as well Greg :)
Robert thank you so much for the video. It helped me, but I had some issues first... My timeline did not want to drag to a smaller amount of seconds, then I went to right-click and set the timing of all of my objects and realised that I couldn't set the timing on groups. I then expanded the groups on my timeline and adjusted only their timing to 10 seconds and only then could I use your method! Hope this helps someone else :)
Glad you were able to update it Dina, and good reminder about expanding the groups to adjust the timeline of each individually.
Glad this still helped you out Jay and Bruce-Alan.
You can also select multiple objects and right click select timing and reduce the duration , if you have groups open the group in the timeline and click to select all the objects individually before right clicking.
Aww glad you got the help you needed here Theresa and just let us know if you need anything else.
