Can you adjust a slide duration without dragging the end point?

I am having "sort of" the same issue. Every time I add an object it auto selects to show until the end of the slide. I very rarely want this to happen because I bring graphics in and out of view. If I have 10 graphics added I have to go all the way to the end of the slide and move it back to the point I want it to stop. 

Is there a way to change the default setting so that object are NOT auto set to the end of the slide? I think this would help my frustration of not having an easy way to adjust the slide length. 

Hello, Valesa!

When you insert an object on a slide, it'll default to show until the end of the timeline. Having the ability to change that default setting would make a great feature request! I'll be sure to pass along your feedback. Thanks for letting us know what you'd like to see!

Awesome Tonya! Thanks for chiming in to share. 

I love seeing these older threads continue to help out :)

This post has been up for a while but thanks Robert & Alyssa - EXTREMELY helpful...
Had videos that were up and over an hour and has saved me so much time instead of dragging the end point for a decade...
Much appreciated!!!

Glad that this was able to help you as well, Niall.

Thanks for popping in to share.

Thank you all! My slide was 19,000 seconds!!! I would have sat there for quite some time trying to drag it. I did the "create a cue point and press left arrow while dragging and it worked great!

My goodness. Glad you found this conversation, Michelle :) Thanks for chiming in to share.
