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".

These are all helpful tips- but I wanted to know and if anyone can help me that would be great. But if I don't want the objects to go off from the slide - do I just click ' always show' and they wont disappear from the screen?
Hi Nadilah,
I think you'll want to review this section on changing the duration of objects, specifically:
When you right-click an object on the timeline, you'll see additional options for managing timing and duration:
- Align to Cue Point: This moves the object along the timeline so its starting point lines up with the Cue Point # you select.
- Align to Playhead: This moves the object along the timeline so its starting point lines up with the current position of the playhead (blue vertical line).
- Show Until End: This displays the object until the end of the slide's timeline.
- Show Always: This displays the object for the entire duration of the slide, from beginning to end.
- Timing: This opens the Timing window (shown below), where you can specify the Start Time and Duration of the object (in seconds).
