Multiple layers and timeline

Haven't found this discussed in the forums.

I have a slide with two layers. Both layers have audio. I've designed it such that the base layer plays its audio, then the second layer is shown via a trigger, and its audio plays.

The seekbar is tuned to the base layer, so it conforms to the 17 seconds of the base layer's audio. Therefore the seekbar appears finished although the second layer is now playing its additional 15 seconds of audio.

Additionally, I would prefer that the slide advances automatically rather than by user.

Proposed solution: I haven't tried this yet. Wanted to check here first. I'm wondering whether extending the base layer timeline an additional 15 seconds, to match the additional time of the second layer, will simultaneously cause the seekbar to be more in sync with the entire slide content, and whether that will also allow the slide to advance automatically at the proper time, not when the base layer is finished, thus proceeding to the next slide before the second layer has had a chance to begin.
