Question

How do you determine the duration of the project?

I want to know the duration of each project that I've created. When I open the project, there is an information section that tells me the size of the project, the time, the resolution, number of slides, etc. It is telling me that this project is 5 minutes and 30 seconds. When I click on advanced audio, it lists the time length of each slide. When I add those numbers up, the presentation is over 11 minutes. Which one is correct. What is the best way to find out the length of a project?

    That was my thought at first, but when I go into the edit view and click through the slides, look at the timeline of each slide (which is actual play time), the combined total of all the slides in the project is much greater than the time the information area indicates.

    Hi Brock22

    I think I'd lean toward using what you see in the information section.

    Consider this:
    What you see in the advanced audio part is showing all audio used in the .CP file. this means background audio (which normally plays at the same time as other audio) as well as object level audio (if you decide to show object level audio by clicking the proper check box). And object level audio plays at the same time as slide and background audio.

    Hopefully this helps... Rick
