Can't Progress Slides

  • September 22, 2022

I have created a slide in the most recent Adobe update with two buttons. The buttons make text appear. Because of the buttons the slide pauses at the end and the play button on the play bar takes about 10 seconds to progress the slide. If I move the pause bars on the buttons in the timeline to "inactive for the duration of the slide" then the slide will automatically progress, but I have to click play to begin the slide. I have tried to move the bars to the end of the timeline to see if it fixes my issue but I cannot get them past the 21.5s mark (my slide is 29s long). Is there a trick to moving them? Or another way to make a slide with buttons both play and progress automatically?

 

I tried to attach pictures of my timeline, but after 15 minutes the upload still wasn't progressing.

    Correct answer Lilybiri

    It would help if you inserted a screenshot of the Timeline of that slide.

    You can take out the pausing point of buttons in the Timing Properties panel. 

    However, I am not sure what you really want to achieve. Maybe you should have a look at this blog post;

    Check also the slide event On Enter: do you perhaps have Pause as action for that event?

    Thank you, taking out the pausing point in the Timing Properties panel fixed it.

    Please, mark the answer as being correct. Nevertheless, I would have loved seeing the Timeline, and hope you take some time to read that blog post which is probably the most important I ever wrote.
