Keep Full Slide Duration
Definitions
Please note that in the following example images some Tools and Toolbars may have been re-positioned by the user. See Main Menu > Settings > Preferences > Toolbars
Settings
In the Slide Options:
In Settings / Preferences / Project:
Keep Full Slide Duration
When ticked the Full Slide Duration of a slide will be “Kept” or preserved if the slide is re-positioned in the Timeline
It is important to note that if this setting is changed DURING a project, then the new setting will only apply to NEW slides (after the change of the setting). For this reason, it is advisable to set “Keep Full Slide Duration” (Ticked or Un-Ticked) at the beginning of a Project and leave it for the duration of the project
When is it used?
The most obvious use for Keep Full Slide Duration is when a Video is added from the File List to the Slide List by either Right Click Menu or Drag and Drop.
When a Video is added to the Slide List and Keep Full Slide Duration is un-ticked the Slide Duration is set to equal the Video Duration. The video stops at the beginning of the next slide transition and a still frame of the end of the video is shown throughout the next slide's transition time
When a Video is added to the Timeline and Keep Full Slide Duration is ticked the Full Slide Duration is set to equal the Video Duration. The video plays through (and ends at) the end of the next slide's transition time
Note that Keep Full Slide Duration can be UN-TICKED in Settings / Preferences / Projects and TICKED in Slide Options and the SLIDE preserves the Keep Full Slide Duration. Other slides in the Project behave according to the Preferences Setting of Keep Full Slide Duration Un-Ticked
