Change all slides' display time en masse

Greetings,
Cp 5.5
I've recoreded a training and assessment simulation where the slides' timing is set to 3 sec. Post-production: I want to change ALL of the slides' timing to 2 sec.
I realize I should have done this in the Global Prefs Default prior to recording. Going in to the Prefs and trying to change the Slide Duration post-production does not work.
Is there a way to do this without having to change each slide individually?
Much Thanks!

No, I do not know about such a work flow, and also think it would probably cause a lot of issues. If you have interactive objects, changing the slide duration will change the active/inactive parts, if you have Effects the duration will be changed relatively, if you have audio, it will be cut off etc...
Is there a particular reason why you want to do this? Perhaps to decrease a little bit the filesize? Most object default timeline will probably also be 3secs, to decrease the slide duration you'll first have to decrease the object timelines or to attach them to the end of the slide (CTRL-E). If there is no real staggering in objects this will be the fastest way (but still slide/slide:
look for an object of each style/type, and set its timeline to 2sec, than you can use the small curved arrow in the top right of the Timing accordion to apply to all objects of that style/type
then slide/slide select the slide timeline and use the shortcut SHIFT-CTRL-LEFT to decrease the length with 1sec

How do you change Slide Display time

I have a slide which has a 30 sec display time. I want to change it to 6 secs. So I go to slide propteries and change display time to 6. I click OK but it make no difference. When I look at the properties again, the time is set back to 30 secs !
How do i change the slide display time?

Thank you. That has solved a number of my problems. The time line does not appear by default on a new installation. In fact it was quite tricky to get it visible but it is now.

Slide 'Display Time' Question

I am new to CP and am using version 4. In designing my first project, I've noticed i need to set a slide 'display time' in the Slide Properties option box. I have slides that I'd rather my users complete at their own pace then click on a NEXT button to proceed. Is there any place where I can opt out of putting in a slide display time?

Hi there
No need to worry with Slide timing. All you need to do is insert a button with a label of "Next". By default, button objects will pause the slide until they have been clicked by the end user. The slide will wait indefinitely until clicked.

Default Slide Display Time Won't Apply

Hiya -
Have a software demo deck that automatically recorded to 3s per slide, and I'd like to change the default display to 5s per slide. When I change this in Edit/Preferences/Global/Defaults, it does not apply throughout the project. Any ideas why?
Thanks,
Kimberly

Hello again
Well, for starters I'll need to know the following because my durn crystal ball is on the fritz and my remote viewing skills aren't up to par.
What version of Captivate are you using?
How did you record? (Demo, Assessment, Full Motion)?
Can you provide a screen shot (using the camera icon in the forums web interface) that shows one of the offending slides' Timeline?
Cheers... Rick

thank you veyr much.

Hi Charles,
When you update the windows time the update takes a while to flow out to all the phones depending on whether the phone is registered to the Pub or Sub.Have a look at the following doc that has great CCM Time sync ideas;
How To Configure Time Synchronization for Cisco CallManager
From this doc that describes using NTP,Net Time and W32Time;

Editing Display Time for Slides

Hello! I'm fairly new to Adobe Captivate and am using version 5.5. I am having trouble changing the display time for some of my slides (Captivate won't let me adjust display time from 4 seconds to 2 seconds), but I can adjust other slides with similar animations with no problems. Does anyone know what could be causing this issue? Thank you!

Hi There,
Can you check your time if you have any image or any object set to rest of the slide, then you need to first change it back to 2 seconds and then change the slide display from 4 to 2 seconds.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Changing colors on all slides

I have a presentation with 84 slides. My text is white. I want to change all slides to black text with a white background. What's the quickest way to do this short of manually changing each slide separately?

You should be able to change the slide master(s) to get the appearance you want. In the View menu, select "Show Master Slides". When you click on one of the masters, you can edit it, and any slide that has that as its master will be changed. So, you can change a master's background to white, and change the text on it to black, and all slides using that master will have white backgrounds with black text.
Note that the text on slides will only be changed if that text was typed into the default text box of the slide (in other words, if it used the master's text box). If the text was added as a separate object, you'll have to change that text by hand.

6300 - Changing Time Zone (GMT+1) Changes All Cale...

I have a 6300 and a calendar full of important meetings and so on.
Last weekend we went on to GMT+1 hour (British Summer Time).
Changing the time settings in the phone to "GMT+1" changes all the calendar times to +1 hour as well.
Why does the phone do this (is this dumb or what !) ?
How can I get the phone NOT to change the calendar times whilst changing the time of day ?
Good wishes to all.

Google calendar has resolved this problem for me by allowing Time Zone entries for Calendar items.
1. I now enter calendar entries with the local time in my Google Travel calendar.
2. I then duplicate the entry in my Google personal calendar and edit this entry to identify the destination Time Zone.
3. I then allow Google calendar to update my Outlook calendar. Entries there will show up with the destination time.
e,g. a flight departure from Madrid is scheduled for 6pm. It will show in my Google personal calendar and in my Outlook calendar as 2am the next day. It will still show in the Travel calendar as 6pm.
4. I let Ovi Suite synchronize my Nokia phone calendar with Outlook which inserts all entries with times for the appropriate time zone e.g. 2am in Madrid.
5. Now I no longer need to disable automatic Time Zone adjustment in my phone AND lie to the phone that I have NOT changed time zones whenever I change my phone clock for a new country (or Time Zone). In the Madrid example, my calendar entries while in Canada will show a 2am departure and when in Madrid will show a 6pm departure (local time).
Some benefits are:
1. Calendar times will show the local time for all entries.
2. No more calls home at 2am because I forgot the Time Zone differential.
3. No more missed appointments because I made an incorrect time adjustment.
3. Automatic Time Zone correction means my phone is always synchronized with local time. This is significant since I have observed that the phone's internal clock tends to drift. Automatic synchronization automaticallt corrects this.
Points to Consider:
1. Google is my primary calendar because I can control it's directionality.
2. Entries in my Google Travel calendar allow me to see the unadjusted times of Calendar entries, e.g. my Madrid flight is at 6pm. Since Google allows you to see multiple calendars simultaneously, I can see events with both destination and home times.
3. Google will only update one calendar to Outlook (my personal calendar) which is why the Time Zone adjusted times are updated in my Google personal calendar and then to Outlook.
4. Ovi Suite has insufficient controls on updates and sometimes will reinstall Outllok entries which have been deleted or changed. Because Outlook cannot update the Google calendars it or the Nokia calendar cannot corrupt my master calendar on Google.
5. This may not resolve all the convoluted Time Zone boundaries experience in the USA but should help.
6. Have had no problem with DST but also am not dealing with the convoluted Time Zone boundaries experience in the USA.
7. Before and currently I stll place a copy of the input data in the Description section of my Google calendar entries. These will show up in the Nokia Description unadjusted and immune from change due to outside causes.

Banner Display Time for One App Only

I recently found an article (http://osxdaily.com/2014/01/29/change-notifications-banner-time-mac-os-x/#commen t-607754) showing a Terminal command to change the default display time for banner-style notification. It's a great thing, but then I thought...could there be any way to apply it to one app at a time? Say I want 10 seconds for Mail.app, 3 seconds for Messages and so forth.
Can it be done? Thanks.

It's called Trip Journal. The problem is, I think, that my iCloud backup wasn't current, because I'm travelling overseas, so data transfer has been largely up, and I don't think it has been backing up even when I was connected to wifi at my hotel.
I did back up my iPhone to the computer this morning -- but that was after the crash occurred, so I don't know if any data will be salvagable.
@Norman - I tried that, multiple times, but it hasn't worked.

I am trying to change the display time in Captivate 5...

When I try to shorten the length of a slide either in properties or by clicking the end and dragging it, like in Captivate 4, it keeps going back to the original time. Normally I record a demonstration and when I am done adding the effects and the voice I have to shorten or lengthen a slide, but I am unable to do this in CP5. Please help.

Hello,
If the slide is longer than 3 sec you can change the 'Display time' in the Properties panel, General section too. But here you cannot get below 3 sec. Dragging in the timeline allows me to go below 3 sec, but you have first to shorten the timeline of the objects before you can change the duration of the slide. To be sure I just tried again and was able to get to a minimum time of 0.1 sec with that workflow. In the screenshot it is 0.3 sec. If you have FMR, video or audio however the duration of that object will be responsable for the duration of the slide.
Hope it works for you too, cannot explain why it is not possible with the Properties panel, which will show correctly the duration after you changed it with the Timeline.

Bapi for Mass change of Purchasing Lead Time

Hi All,
Could you please suggest whether is there any BAPI to perform mass change of

The field is Planned delivery time(marc-plifz) in MRP2. The changed value should reflect to all the Material numbers in the selection screen.
Thanks & Regards,

How to change the order of the projects in the "All Projects" display?

Is there a way of reordering the projects in the All Projects display? Is alphabetical ordering possible?
Thanks.

Before you sync your iPhone the next time, activate the option "sync addressbook" and "replace all Contacts on iPhone". The next sync will replace your contact info on your phone. From that point on all contact infos will be the same on your mac and and your phone. And changes or new infos will also be seen on both systems.
Hope this helps

How to access "Display Time" / Slide Duration variable?

I'm using Adobe Captivate 4, and I'm trying to programmatically access the "Display Time" for the current slide (ie: the slide duration).
How do I do that? I've looked through all the system variables in the actions dialog but to no avail.

Hi Lilybiri,
I retried it this morning and it works for me. Here are some pointers:
I think it's a coincidence if CP hung when inserting the animation. It never did for me and I inserted it before and after. It's a possibility but I doubt.
Make sure that slide1Duration is written with a lowercase "s" and a capital "D". I noticed that you wrote it with a capital "S".
It works in TC and RollOver TC but it's not working with the click box captions. However, I could not get a standard variable like $$CaptivateVersion$$ to appear in the CB caption either.
I really think that your issue lies with the capital "S". Give it a try.
Finally, I'm not a good person to recommend books. I have learned AS2 and AS3 just from the Adobe help file. I never read a book or tutorial beside the help. Also, my background being a s/w developer, catching up with AS3 was not that much of an issue since I understand all the OO (Object Oriented) concepts. If you ever have questions about AS3, let me know and I'll try to help you out.

Change display time zone in iCal?

Hello-
I just moved from the east coast to the west coast. I have Time Zone Support turned on in iCal, and I've set my time zone to Pacific Time in the OS X Date & Time Control Panel. Nevertheless, when I create a new event, it defaults to eastern time and I have to change it, and all my appointment times are displaying with their EDT time in iCal. The time is "correct" -- that is, if I create an event at 12:30 pm it displays in iCal as happening at 3:30 pm EDT -- but it's very annoying. See the screenshot for what I'm talking about. Any help would be very helpful!
