Question

Is there a way to reduce the length of the Timeline?

In Captivate 6, one of my slides has an audio track that is a minute and thirty seconds long. No elements will go beyond a minute-thirty. But the timeline is twenty minutes and thirty-two seconds long. If I zoom in to fine-tune some layers the scroll bar slider at the bottom gets incredibly small. It's a lot of wasted space. I'm looking for something like After Effects' "Reduce comp to work area" function. Does it exist in Captivate?

    Now I am wondering: are you talking about a cptx or a cpvc file? Because I never did see a slide in a cptx-file to extend that way to such a long duration, however it happened with cpvc-timelines a lot of times.

    If nothing extends beyond a minute thirty, you could shorten the overall timeline by changing the Time setting in the general section of the Properties Inspector for the slide:
