Change slide duration to 2.5 seconds??

Is it possible to change the duration of a slide to 2.5 seconds in imovie08. I keep trying, but it seems to make it go to 4 seconds rather than 2.5. 2 seconds is a little too fast and 3 makes my slide show a bit too long. I have also changed the duration of the transitions, but that makes the transitions too quick, but that I can live with. I would just like to shorten the slides a bit.
Thanks for your help!

I would just like to shorten the slides a bit.
Add all your slides at the current default whatever it is. After the last one is added, select it and "Control-click" it to open the contextual menu. Now select the "Set Duration" option, enter the time you want, and the select the option to change all photo durations.

Cannot change slide duration in software simulation

I'm using Captivate 7 for the first time. I had a much older version, but seldom used it.
I have recorded a simple software simulation that should be a piece of cake to edit and produce, but have come across a problem I don't know how to solve. The simulation includes an item on screen being clicked, then dragged and dropped into a new location. I cannot edit the duration of the slide that shows the drag-and-drop motion. It has a duration of 6.5 seconds, which is painfully and unrealistically slow and there is no way I can find to shorten it.
I can't drag the end of the slide on the timeline, right-clicking hasn't produced anything promising in pop-up menus, and the Properties panel has a Time field, but when I select the 6.5 seconds and change it, it just reverts to 6.5 seconds immediately afterward.
I recall this sort of thing being very simple in previous versions of Captivate. Not anymore, I guess...
Thanks,
- Jennifer

Thanks, guys! Those replies led me to try something that actually worked. It did record as a video demo (the red strike-through line) as Varun Kalra suggested. I discovered that I can click the end of the timeline for that slide (where the word END displays), then use the left arrow on my keyboard to decrease the duration of the slide.
That probably wouldn't work if the entire animation was too slow, but in this case, just the very end was too slow.
Thanks much!

Change slide duration in iWeb

How do I change the slide duration when building a slideshow with iWeb

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. It's not a normally user controlled feature. However:
To change the slideshow on screen timing add the following javascript, post publication, to just before the </html> tag in the slideshow.html file:
<script type=”text/javascript”>slideTime-10000;</script>
where 1000 = 1 second.
Thanks to Cyclosaurus for the code
You can use an HTML editor like the free TextWrangler to make the edit. It will have to be done again if you make any changes to that page and republish.

Not able to change slide duration. It's set to 4.0; I change it to 3.0 and it changes to 6.5 or something. What am I doing wrong?

I can't seem to change the slide duration in iMovie. It's set to 4.0 automatically. I change it to 3.0. The program resets it to 6.5 or something I never intended. What am I doing wrong?

Changing slide duration times in the middle of slideshow

I'm making a slideshow with two different audio files that I've created into a soundtrack using garageband. Each song is about 3:30 in length. Here's my problem: The first song needs to match up with about 10-20 pictures. The 2nd song needs to match up with about 100 pictures. I need this to be one continuous slideshow (versus creating two seperate ones) as it is part of a presentation for a fundraiser and I need it to be timed right. Does anyone know of a way of changing the time between slides in the initial part of a slideshow and then speeding it up in the middle (i.e. 5 seconds for the first portion of the slideshow and then 2 seconds for the remaining portion of the slideshow)?
I'm using IDVD to create the slideshow but if anyone has a better idea please let me know

Hi lb121389
Have you considered creating your slideshow as a QT movie? ....otherwise you may be asking too much of a consumer app like iDVD6. Suggest staying within the following choices when working within iDVD6 slideshow durations:

Apple's pro apps like FCP > DVDSP can address the types of modifications you are looking for. Hope this is Helpful and good luck to you.

Slide duration not following global settings - CP4

I'm using Captivate 4 and I've set the global slide duration to 1.5 seconds.
I've recorded an Automatic Recording using the Custom Mode.
When I preview my recordings I discover that all the slide durrations are 4+ seconds.
I've been manually adjusting the slide durration for each recorded slide (very annoying.)
Is there any way to have the slide duration adhere to the global settings?

Hi again
So this is a simulation and not a demo?
If so, you need to ensure the Click Boxes are all configured to Go to the next slide when clicked.
If it's just Demonstration, note that an option exists for recording in "real time". What this means is that during the recording process, if you click the Edit menu, wait 20 seconds, then move the mouse down to one of the menu options, Captivate will time the action identically. Perhaps that option is what you are looking for?
If so, click Edit > Preferences > Recording > Settings and enable the option. (I believe it's normally disabled by default)

How do I change the duration of a still image in iMovie to less than 0.1 second?

I am creating a movie using iMovie where I need the still images to be 0.05 seconds each or maybe even less., but whenever I select the still images and go to "Clip Adjustments" and under duration change 0.1s to 0.05s and select "Done", iMovie changes the duration back to 0.1s. I'm fairly new to iMovie and I've been messing around with it for quite a while now and still can't figure it out. Could someone help me?

for stop-motion there are perhaps better tools avail
istopmotion is a commercial app (starting at 40€ in the AppStore) offering additional tools for the animation master, such as onioning or tilt-shift.

Change image duration from 1 frame to 2 seconds

I have imported some images from an iMovie project to the timeline of FCP. They imported at 1 frame duration. I have tried every suggestion from other threads as to changing the duration of the images, to no avail. They seem to be locked. Nothing works. What am I missing? I need to change them to 2 seconds. I tried control/click and changing the duration to 2 seconds - no go. I have reset the preferences to 2 seconds, and imported another image as a test - still imports at 1 frame only. I have changed the duration in the Browser - doesn't change anything. I have tried the Viewer and can't make it budge. Help!
I imported directly from iMovie to the timeline so I could keep the images in order. If I import from the browser, it imports at the preference setting, but that means I would need to wade through the browser to put them in order again (very time consuming to do it with 300 images)
gary

Would making a freeze frame of the image work? Could be pretty fast. Load in viewer, shift-n. drag to browser. Do you want to email me one of the images and I'll see if there's anything obvious? My email address is in my profile.
Also, what format did you export them from in IMovie. You might be able to use a graphic utility or photoshop to do a batch conversion

Slide duration

Hello - For some reason, I am not able to change the slide duration. The slide is currently 67 seconds. I try changing the slide duration in the properties panel - nothing. I try moving the playhead. It just doesn't every change from 67 seconds. any ideas? (PS - the slide has audio, but the audio is only 49 seconds long - I want to cut the slide length so it ends when the audio ends.

Hi there
What objects are on the slide? Normally when you are unable to adjust slide duration it is because you have an object on the slide that is timed such that you cannot make the slide shorter.
Bottom line here is to check duration of objects on the slide.

Slide Duration in Timeline

I am not able to change my slide duration in the timeline of Cativate 5 as I could with other versions. I can see the move arrow and it will move the duration forward but not back. Thanks for any help ASAP.
Cher

Check all the objects on your slide that go right to the end of the slide. One or more of them are probably Timed for a specific number of seconds which will turn out to be the same as the current duration of the slide. Until you change their duration, you won't be able to get your slide duration less than what they currently are.
If you select the objects that currently go to the end of slide and hit Ctrl + E keystroke combination, they will all be set to Display for Rest of Slide. Then you should be able to drag the slide duration at will.

Need indefinite slide duration

Hi folks - I'm dreadfully new to Captivate and am having a
problem. My slides are all currently set to automatically proceed
to the next slide in sequence after 7 seconds. While I can change
the duration of the slides, I can't figure out how to set them so
that they *don't* progress to the next slide unless the user clicks
a "next" button. I can create the button, but can't figure out how
to give the slides indefinite duration. If you can help, I'd be
very grateful!

HI somehedgehog and welcome to our community
I'm a bit confused. Why? Well it's this. You said you created
a button but you can't figure out how to give the slides indefinite
duration.
I'm confused because the default nature of a Button or Click
Box object is to do exactly what you are looking for. That is to
pause the slide until your user clicks. Indefinitely
So I have a question for you. Have you inserted a Button
object and you are noticing it isn't pausing? That is where I'm
totally confused. If your button isn't pausing, try double-clicking
it and examining the properties. You should be able to make it
pause.
Interested in some Captivate training? :wink ;

How can I make a row of cells containing 3-digit decimals, who's values resulted from calculations within the spreadsheet, appear as durations of minutes and seconds?

Row 6 in this spreadsheet is the result of Row 2/Row 3 as evidenced by the formula listed while Cell Y6 selected. How can I make the values in this row appear as durations of minutes and seconds rather than 3-digit decimals? For example, rather than appearing as 9.84 I would like the value of Cell Y6 to appear as 9:50 or 9min 50sec. (obviously .84x60seconds 50 seconds). I tried changing the cell formats from "number" to "duration," but no change is made. Using the "duration" format does however work if I am manually entering the decimal value into the cell rather than allowing it to result from another caluclation within the spreadsheet. Is there a solution to this within Numbers '09? You can see why I would want the "pace" displayed in minutes and seconds. Thanks in advance!
Ryan

Hi Ryan,
You wrote:
"The problem is that my "Distance" is a row of automatically generated values resulting from ((Row1/60)*Row 6). Changing the format of Row 1 to minutes causes row two to be expressed as a duration, which obviously it shouldn't because it is a distance. The spreadsheet has to be designed so that all I have to manually input on each entry are Row 1 Values (Time) and Row 6 Values (Average Pace). The rest of the cells must be automatically poulated as a result of formulas."
I'm assuming that where you say "Row 1" in this you mean "Row 2", which is labeled "Time" in the example in the OP.
In the original post, you presented a formula from cell Y6. Replacing the Header labels in that formula's cell reference with the Addresses of the referenced cells, the formula was:
Y6: =Y2/Y3
In this post, you are saying that Y6 contains entered data: "...all I have to manually input on each entry are Row 1 Values (Time) and Row 6 Values (Average Pace).
Which is correct?

Barry

Airplay mirroring problem:when i change slide mirroring from off to on ,my new i pad lost wi fi connection and apple tv lost wifi connection:ihave last software for both.Can u help me?thanks

when i use i pad with apple tv for see my photo,youtube and movies all ok.

I suspect that the problem is in your router. Do NOT consider your router to be blameless if some other devices seem to work with it.
Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. Don't just turn it Off. On many routers that doesn't really do anything but put the router into standby mode. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
There is a chance that some services turned on in your router could be causing problems. Look for a setting called QoS (Quality of Service). If ON turn it OFF.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

Why can't I change the duration of a still frame?

I am running Final Cut Express 3.5.1
When I try to change the duration of a still frame it generally snaps back to the existing duration rather than changing. Occasionally it will change but never to the duration I select which is ususlly :20 to :50 of a second. It sticks on a variety of durations between 1:20 and :05. I have tried both altering and rewriting the duration.I have tried restarting as well as all of the following methods:
1 Changing the duration in the User Preferences > Editing, still duration field.
2 Ammending the browser duration column .
3 Double clicking on the still to open it in the viewer and changing the duration field.
4 Draging the still into the timeline, control clicking and changing the duration in the drop down menu.
5 I also clicked on the still in the browser > edit > item properties but there was no timing tab available to select (as suggested on another posting.)

This project is just a short animation so every time I import the stills they are of the wrong duration so I try changing the duration by the other methods described previously, fail to be able to do that, erase everything from the project, restart and start again, initially with the preferences. So there's nothing for the still frames to conflict with. It's not the fact that there is a batch of stills that is the problem either as I keep experimenting with with single or small groups of stills in that context. I've also tried importing a variety of still formats into other projects. This is fairly new software. Could this be an incurable fault?
