To use the Timeline Editor to set the timing of a container

• To change both start and end times for a container (preserving the container’s duration), position the pointer on

the container timeline bar so that you see a pointing finger cursor, and then drag the timeline bar to the new start

time.

• To change a container’s start time only without changing the end time (and thereby change the container’s

duration), position the pointer on the left edge of the timeline bar so that you see a cursor with a vertical bar and

double arrows. Then drag the left edge to the new start time. Likewise, you can change the end time by dragging

the right edge.

• To scale the durations of the container’s items when you change the container’s begin and end times, hold Shift

while dragging. As you change the container’s duration, the container’s items change proportionally.

Using the Timeline Editor to set a container’s start and end times

A. Drag timeline bar to change start and end times. B. Drag left edge to change start time only. C. Drag right edge to change end time

only.

To stop all items in a Parallel Container when a particular item stops playing

1 In the Timeline Editor, select the Parallel Container you want to set.

2 In the Basic tab of the Parallel Container Inspector, choose one of the following from the End Sync menu:

None Plays the presentation using the default value, which is Last.

Last Allows all items in the container to finish playing. That is, all items stop when the longest item finishes playing.

First Stops all items in the container when the shortest item finishes playing. This option overrides any other timing

settings on the other items.

<name-ID> Stops all items in the container when the item chosen from the End Sync menu finishes playing. This

option overrides any other timing settings on the other items. The names and IDs displayed in the End Sync menu

are obtained from the Basic tab of the Inspector for each item or container in the Parallel Container.
