Can't match end of slide to end of object (gap)? [Captivate 6]

Lately I seem to be having an issue with making the end of the slide match the end of the last object on the slide. As you can see in the attached image, the longest item on the timeline is the mouse click. (Ignore the shape on the very top; this is a button that has the timing set to display for the rest of the slide. I have tried to set this to "specific time" and make it very short, but that did not affect the outcome of this problem.)
What I would like to do is to drag the slide length to the left and shorten it to match the shorter length of the mouse click. However, I am unable to make the slide duration any shorter.
I think this has to do with the audio I added. I have a longer audio track that I added to the slide, and then I edited it and shortened it. The reason I'm doing this is because I'm showing single steps, and the audio narration bunches together a bunch of steps at once. I'm thinking that maybe, even though the ausio is shortened, Captivate doesn't see this "gap," and won't let me shirten the clip because it still thinks there's audio there? Sometime I fiddle around, and chop some silence from the beginning and end of the audio clip, and it lets me drag it a bit further. But in some cases, like here, for example, I don't have any room for more editing. The audio clip is pretty small now, and I need that little bit of silence remaining. This problem throws my project off, because when you watch the whole thing in one go, it can create odd gaps, jumps, or silences. Even if they are tiny, it makes things seem "off."
Any idea how I can fix this?

Hi there
Slides simply cannot be adjusted to be any shorter in duration than the longest timed object. In the example image, the longest timed object appears to be a Smart Shape. Thus, the slide must end there and cannot be made shorter.
We simply cannot ignore the Smart Shape as you are advising. Yes, I know you feel confident that the problem cannot be there. Yet my guess is that this is exactly where the problem is.
See, when you told Captivate to make the Smart Shape a button, it likely also gained a pause point. And it's likely the pause point of the Smart Shape on top that is preventing you from adjusting the overall slide duration.
Cheers... Rick

  • Could not generate stub object - The element type "META" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "".

    I am getting the following error message when I try invoking
    a webservice.
    Could not generate stub objects for web service invocation.
    Name: ProgrammePrivilege. WSDL:
    https://clientaccweb.reseaudistinction.com/CardHolderInfo.asmx?WSDL.
    org.xml.sax.SAXException: Fatal Error: URI=null Line=11: The
    element type "META" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "".
    It is recommended that you use a web browser to retrieve and
    examine the requested WSDL document for correctness. If the
    requested WSDL document can't be retrieved or it is dynamically
    generated, it is likely that the target web service has programming
    errors.
    The problem is, the webservice is working fine, the
    application was working yesterday, the error message just appears
    after a couple of days and I have to refresh the service in the CF
    Administrator. Once I refresh it, everything starts working again.
    Anyone else got this problem? ANY help would be appreciated!
    If you guys need my code anyway, I can attach it but like I
    said, everything works for a couple of days, then, out of the blue,
    it stops working so I doubt that it's my CFINVOKE that's the
    problem...

    Similar kind of problems here - reported back to Adobe a
    couple of months ago, so let's wait and hope for the best. My
    problems have related to registering multiple web services and
    executing them. One problem is that, If I register two identical
    (and quite complex) web services, I can only execute either of
    them. After CF restart, either of them works, but invoking the
    other doesn't work.
    For example; CF_Restart -> Try A first, A works -> B
    doesn't. Also, CF_Restart -> Try B first, B works -> A
    doesn't.

  • Xml disassembler failing with reason start element does not match end element

    Hi,
    I'am using a WCF-WSHttp adapter to send a very simple message to a WCF service from BizTalk. The service can return a response or throw a BusinessFault or a SystemFault.
    I get the responses and faults returned and captured most part of the time . But one in a hundred message fails with the below error when a BusinessFault or a SystemFault is thrown . They are SOAP faults
    There was a failure executing the response(receive) pipeline: "Microsoft.BizTalk.DefaultPipelines.XMLReceive, Microsoft.BizTalk.DefaultPipelines, Version=3.0.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" Source: "XML disassembler"

    'nz/Faults/201' does not match end element 'Reason'.
    Line 1, position 677.
    I use the below Xpath for the Inbound BizTalk Message Body
    /*[local-name()='Fault']/*[local-name()='Detail' or local-name()='detail']/* | /*[not(local-name()='Fault')]
    My node encoding is Xml.
    I have enabled the Service Trace on the Biztalk server to capture the incoming message and noticed that the messages are not broken .
    Beleive this is one of the item that Microsoft has fixed for BizTalk 2009 in CU 1. But I couldnt notice a similar one for BizTalk 2010

    Any tips would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks

    Could you post the XML message where this error occurs here please?
    Because that error usually occurs when you receive invalid XML.

  • The element type jsp:useBean must be terminated by the matching end-tag

    Hi, I have deployed an application under WLS 8.1 SP4 and I get this error, when I try to access a page. I searched through the BEA site and it does refer to solution id S-13709 which says issue has been fixed in WLS 7.0. Hence should I not be seeing this error?
              java.io.IOException: javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: The taglib validator rejected the page: "org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The element type "jsp:useBean" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</jsp:useBean>"., "

    It would be useful if you provided a little more information about what you're trying to do on your JSP page. For instance, are you using an include directive or include action on the page? Are you trying to start the "jsp:useBean" element in one file, and end it in another? That, in particular, would likely be rejected.

  • Can I auto adjust the slide length to match my music length?

    Can I auto adjust the slide length to match my music length?

    There is no way to automatically do this, but if you have a calculator, you can figure it out.
    If you are NTSC (USA), figure 30 frames per second. For PAL (Europe) figure 25 frames per second.
    So here is an example in NTSC. Say your music is 3:31, this is equal to 211 seconds or 6330 frames.
    If your slideshow has 155 slides, then each slide should last about 41 frames or 1 second and 11 frames.
    You can change the duration of the slides to 1:11 and apply to all slides.
    (Note: To edit at the frame level, go into iMovie Preferences and choose to display time as hhL:mm:ss:frames)

  • Simple question. Since apple has extinguished iDVD Are there any other Software programs that can produce the end product iDVD did?

    There are many a thousands of people who are producingvideos on completed DVDs. As an amateur videographer using iMovie first nowusing Final Cut pro to produce completed ready to distribute DVDs, I find ithard to believe at the meeting you mentioned anyone with common sense wouldhave explained the scenario above. On an amateur level so many folks have beencreating videos of Weddings, Home Movies, and many different Special Events. Onin particular are sports events. I shoot a sports event like Mix Martial ArtsEvents utilizing several video cameras. Then editing with Final cut Pro andsometimes iMovie. All of my completed videos that have been edited in either ofthese two programs are shared (like hand in glove) with iDVD. Short of steppinginto the commercial world Apple has deleted many people from producing a semiprofessional looking product.
    I do not know if the can be answered here in the format buthere it goes!!

    What Have I Done Wrong?
    I appreciate that I am not the best coder in the world. In fact I have only just started coding. I know my Script could be better and that there are some, shall we say, rough edges. I wrote this Script to automatically check for updates because  OS X is not doing so. OS X Yosemite(and Mavericks before it) would do so manually but not on it's own accord. This despite me having all setting turned on, deleting and rebuilding the necessary files and reinstalling from scratch OS X.
    Anyhow here is my Script, perhaps someone could tell me why when i run it as an Application it runs then says Can't get end -1728
    thank you
    tell application "Finder"
      set myfile to "/Library/preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist"
      if not (exists POSIX file "/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist") then

      end if
    end tell
    set sourcepath to POSIX path of myfile
    do shell script "cp -r " & sourcepath's quoted form & " ~/Desktop/"
    do shell script "plutil -convert xml1 /Users/touchdown/Desktop/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist"

    No Offence but I have looked there already. I have done the following
    1) checked the settings are turned on in System Preferences/App Store
    2)Checked the file /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist is there and also that it has the relevant settings turned on
    3)I have deleted the above file then gone back into System preferences/App Store and turned the settings off then on to rebuild the above file.
    4)I reinstalled OS X Yosemite
    5)I reinstalled OS X Yosemite from scratch (clean install)
    6)I created a brand new Apple id and used that to log in with in case it is somehow my id
    7)I followed Apple's steps to bypass proxy Server settings as in some cases if your internet connection goes through a proxy/secure proxy server and the traffic is inspected then the connection to apple's update serves is no deemed secure and no effort made to check for updates. Once i followed Apple's steps to the letter it still does not work
    8)Tried logging on to various other networks
    9)Made sure all software/apps/OS X is unto date
    10) When I reinstalled OS X Yosemite I did not restore from backups and just started fresh in case it was an app/software
    So you can see I have done practically everything I can think off to solve the issue. This is why I think it is more endemic than simply something I have done. My Girlfriend also has the same issue as me so the chances of both of us doing the same thing wrong (with nothing we do working)is remote.
    I am thinking that the problem must be Apple's end on their servers as I do not think it is a problem with the OS or lots more people would have the same issue and it would be more wide spread than this.

  • How can I fade the first slide in a slideshow in from black?

    Novice user here, but I can't seem to find an answer to this question. I've created a couple of slideshow, and have imported them to iDVD to burn the DVDs. When I play the show in iPhoto, they're fine. But when I play a finished DVD (or the demo of the DVD in iDVD), the first slide does not fade in like iPhoto did. It's a really jarring start. I fiddled with Ken Burns effects, but all that seems to do it effect how the slide ends, not how it starts.
    How can I start the DVD slide show at black and fade the first slide in, just like iPhoto automatically did?
    BTW ... haven't upgrade to the new iLife software yet if that helps.

    Hi DogWonder!
    if it were me, I think the simplest thing to do is take a photo with the lens cover on the camera, basically a black pic. Now use this one at the beginning of your DVD/Slide Show... or even between slides for a little more drama, if you wanted...
    Good luck, Rick

  • Can't match sequence settings to clips

    I shot some footage on a JVC consumer camera and converted it to mpeg 2 with mpeg streamclip. When I create a sequence in FCP 5.1.4 it doesn't give me an mpeg 2 option in the sequence settings, so I can't match the format and the clips have to be rendered in the timeline.
    When I go back to mpeg streamclip and convert the clips to DV and import them into FCP, the audio shows up as "1 Stereo", whereas my sequence shows up as "2 Outputs". So now my audio has to be rendered in the timeline. Mpeg streamclip doesn't give me an option to change the audio, and FCP won't let me change the sequence audio setting. So frustrating!
    How can I get the clips and the sequence settings to match?

    You can't use multiplexed MPEG 2 streams in FCP.
    If you used Export to DV in MPEG Streamclip, that's another mistake. You will have to render the audio every time you change something.
    How to do it right, the first time:
    From the Edit menu, choose Export to QuickTime.
    Choose the codec from the multi choice button at the top of the next window.
    ((Use one that Final Cut Pro works with, as found in FCP's Easy Setup menu.))
    Set the Quality slider to 100%.
    Export your movie.

  • Why can't I select shuffle slide order in my settings?

    Why can't I select shuffle slide order in my settings. . . I see it there as an option, but it won't let me choose it.  I don't want to manually shuffle 329 slides!

    It's only available in slideshow that are generated from a album.  There you can select the Shuffle checkbox.  You can also save the settings for that specific album to be used on any set of photos that you might put in there.  Name the album something like Slideshow and reuse it.  Just remove the last batch of photos from it and add the new ones.  That will save you having to set all of the settings each time or just one setting like music.

    Hi gdogk,
    If there was an interruption during the initial iTunes Match process and you are now having issues with playback and album art, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful. In particular, you may want to turning iTunes Match off, then back on again, as noted here:
    If iTunes Match is already enabled on your computer or device, try turning iTunes Match off and then on again.
    Mac: While holding down the option key, choose Store > Turn Off iTunes Match.
    Turn iTunes Match on by selecting Store > Turn On iTunes Match.
    Windows: While holding down the shift key, choose Store > Turn Off iTunes Match.
    Turn iTunes Match on by selecting Store > Turn On iTunes Match.
