Quickest way to set layer timeline duration with the baseline's duration?

Hi Carl!

It sounds like you were looking for a more streamlined way of adjusting the timeline duration in Storyline!

Adjusting the timeline duration on a global scale is not a feature that exists in Storyline yet. However, it sounds like an interesting concept I can share with our product team!

In the meantime, as a workaround, I would suggest using the Duplicate feature to match the timeline of the layer with the base layer.

1. Set the timeline of the base layer to your desired length.
2. Right-click on the base layer and choose 'Duplicate'.
3. The resulting layer will have the exact timeline duration of the base layer.
4. Select elements from the duplicated layer using CTRL+A, then right-click to delete them. You'll notice the elements will be removed, but the timeline length will be retained.

• Here's a quick Peek to help illustrate that process!

Please let me know if you have any more questions!
