Delete And Edit Slides - Adobe CAPTIVATE 5 Help Manual

Last updated 4/22/2010
It is important to set the correct frame rate. All imported animation files play at the rate selected in the project
Preferences dialog box, regardless of the rate prior to when the file is imported. The default setting is 30 Flash frames
per second and is appropriate in most cases. You may need to change the rate if you are embedding your Adobe
Captivate SWF file in another SWF file that has a frame rate different than 30.
When you create an animation slide, the amount of time the slide is displayed in the project automatically defaults to
the length of the animation file itself. For example, if the animation file that you use to create a new animation slide is
only 1.2 seconds in length, the animation slide appears for 1.2 seconds. To change the duration of the slide, click the
slide in the Filmstrip, and in the Property inspector, enter a new number of seconds in Display Time. Or use the
Timeline to change the slide display time.
