Moving group in timeline makes group longer
When I move a group of items in the timeline, rather than the group moving, it gets longer...literally shoots off to the right.
To be clear, by "group" I mean 2 or more items which have been grouped under the Arrange dropdown, not simply 2 or more items which have merely been selected.
Any thoughts why this happens?
Thank you!
This issue may arise from misaligned keyframes or inconsistent item durations in the group. Ensuring synchronization and regrouping could resolve the problem.
Hi JohnJohnson-6a8,
Thanks for reaching out!
That behavior sounds odd, and I'm happy to help troubleshoot.
I've recorded a brief demo showing how I moved a group on the timeline. I'm not experiencing the issue you described. Are you following the same steps as me? If so, have you tried importing your slides into a new Storyline project or ungrouping and regrouping the objects?
If you can share your file or a screen recording of what you're seeing, that may help us narrow down the issue! Please feel free to upload those here or privately in a support case.
Kelly;
I move groups and single items the way your video shows...same as in any other software I use with a timeline: click and drag. However, upon "click," groups grow toward the right as though something was dragging the right of the group rightward. This is new behavior.
Hi JohnJohnson-6a8,
Thanks for following up on this!
Does this happen with multiple files or just one? If it's multiple files, I would suggest following these steps to solve unexpected or erratic behavior. If the issue is specific to one file, I'd like to take a closer look at your course to help narrow down the issue.
