adjust timeline for all objects

[Guest]

Is there anyway to adjust the time of all the objects in the timeline simultaneously? I know that I can select all objects using CNTRL - A. But, I can not reduce the time of all objects together.

If you have downloaded and installed Captivate 4, it offers the ability to configure some of the defaults. Perhaps that will help? To see where it's done, click Edit > Preferences... > Global node > Defaults node.

I think you are referring to adjusting what you have and not the defaults.
Your observation about using Ctrl and a click is one way to get them all selected and so is a left click and drag across all objects.

The command Ctrl+E will extend the time to the end of the time line (theat is the last band in the timeline) Once grouped with Ctrl+E, you can slide that last time band and shring them all down or grow them up to the time you desire for all selected objects. Give it a whirl...

Thank you Joe! That did it. The key seems to be using Ctrl-E after Ctrl-A to then be able to move all object timelines together.

Thanks Rick. It's good to know that I can set these defaults in Cap. 4 when I get it installed.
