To change slide timing:
Open an Adobe Captivate project.
1.
Double-click a slide whose timing you want to change.
2.
If it is not open already, show the Timeline by clicking the splitter bar. To expand the Timeline,
3.
click the display arrow.
The slide timing is contained in a Timeline object named "Slide." To shorten or lengthen the
4.
amount of time it takes for the slide to play, click the right edge of the Slide object until the
resize pointer appears, and drag the edge to the left or right. Adobe Captivate shows the amount
of time the slide will appear, in parentheses, next to the word Slide. The maximum amount of
time a slide can appear is 1 hour (3600 seconds).
Changing object display order
Adobe Captivate lets you add multiple objects, such as captions, highlight boxes, animations, or
images to slides. You specify the order in which objects appear. The Timeline lets you precisely
adjust the timing of all objects on a slide.
To change object order using the Timeline:
Open an Adobe Captivate project.
1.
Navigate to the slide that contains the objects whose order you want to change.
2.
If it is not open already, show the Timeline by clicking on the splitter bar. To expand the
3.
Timeline, click the display arrow.
Change the order and timing of objects as required.
4.
For example, move the mouse over the left or right edge of an object on the Timeline until the
resize cursor appears, then drag the edge left or right. This will change when and for how long
the object appears.
If you have an object that currently appears at the same time the slide appears, but you want a
slight delay, move the mouse over the center of the object on the Timeline until the hand
appears; then drag the entire object so the left edge aligns with 2s (a 2-second delay) or 4s
(a 4-second delay) in the header.
In the following example, the arrow points to the left edge of the caption object bar aligned
with the 2-second mark on the Timeline.
