Course length/total time

Hi Mary,

Yup - it sounds like those are the two options to calculate a single scene or set of slides. Keep in mind you don't have to complete the publishing process, only open up that dialogue and look in the project info window to see the duration. 

This totally just made my day!

Hi Ashley - does the duration calculation include the duration of slide layers, or just the base layer of slides?

Thanks,

Why not include layers? Seems like another feature request that could be pursued. Not sure I know of a direct way to request a feature or to view existing and +1.

In my case it's common to include tab reveals for more information on layers and those layers have timelines that could easily be calculated to add onto the time estimate, perhaps provide base slide estimate and all slide/layer estimate. Obviously, sending learners to outside resources would need to be calculated by the designer, but with layers the data is already there in Storyline. 

Hello Geordie and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)

Thanks for reaching out and sharing your need and use-case as well. I've submitted a feature request on your behalf.

If you have any other ideas and use-cases you'd like to share, here's a link to our feature request form.

Hi! I'm not seeing how the total duration is calculated. In my screen shot, it shows blank. Please help! Thanks!

Esther - you have to click on the ellipses at the top by the title, and then you'll see estimated duration.  Then you have to MANUALLY type that into the box in the Reporting & Tracking section shown in your image. 

Very helpful! What a time saver.

Hello, does the duration estimate include the course simulations etc..?

Hi Katie,

I have a question. Does the duration calculates the timelines of layers as well or only base layer? Appreciate your reply. Thanks!
