"Fit timeline to longest object" function not working
When I first heard about this feature being added to the updates, I was excited, but I've never been able to get it to work.
Typically, I use an existing slide from another course with the layout ...
Thanks for replying, Jose.
Yes, I read the article you linked, but it doesn't go into the object's behaviours so I had to do my own testing.
I've attached the test files but I suspect that you'll see the same issue there. Here's my replication steps:
- Create a new project (16:9)
- Place a video (eg. 17 seconds) on the timeline
- Change the video's duration (eg. to 5 seconds)
- Place the end of the video on the end of the slide's timeline
- Preview the slide and observe that the video plays (image and audio) beyond the timeline
- Move the video on the timeline so that it ends just before the timeline ends (even a fraction).
- Preview the slide and observe that the video image stops when the slide's timeline ends but the audio continues to play beyond the timeline
BTW, if you change the duration settings of a video, should it stop playing at the new duration's ending? If not, what is the point of changing the duration?
Hi Brett,
I wanted to share that I was also able to replicate the behavior you described. I went ahead and opened a support case on your behalf so we can have our support engineers review the behavior. You're in good hands, and we'll update you with our findings through the support case!
