Duplicating size and position to multiple objects.

Community Beginner ,

Is there a way to duplicate the size/position properties and apply them to different objects on various slides?

In short, I have short videos I want located in the same spot on every slide over 30 slides. The videos vary, but location on the slide needs to be same. It becomes especially cumbersome on a responsive project to manually adjust objects for not only every slide, but again for tablet and phone views as well.

Use the Guides in Captivate 9: for responsive projects, rulers are in % and you can use Snap to guides to position easily the videos. Have a look at:

Why not create a content placeholder on a Master slide with the x,y,h,w values you need and use it?

Thanks! Its not a bad idea, but Captivate will only allow me to add my video in as an event video (Has playbar below the video). I need to add the video as a synchronized video and for the life of me I can't find anyway to use a placeholder to add that type of object.

I didn't think guides would apply in this case because each view has its own layout, but it looks like you can change guides for each view. I still would prefer a way to just duplicate position information, but this looks like this will work. Thanks!

For other objects, if they used the same style it would be easier, but once you get the hang of those guides, they are a great design help.
