Changing timing
Changing object timing
You can change the amount of time an object (such as a caption, text entry box, or image) appears on a slide. You
may find this feature useful in several situations. For example, you may want to set exact object timing when
coordinating a voice-over with a highlight box; you might want the highlight box to appear only when the voice-
over says, “Enter the date here.”
You can change object timing by setting object display time or using the Timeline.
To change object timing by setting object display time:
1
Open an Adobe Captivate project.
2
Double-click a slide that contains objects.
3
Double-click the object you want to time.
4 Click the Options tab.
5 In Display for, and select one of the following options:
specific time
Type a number or use the arrows to set a number for the time (in seconds) that the object should
appear on the screen.
rest of slide
If you select rest of slide for an object and then increase the playing time of the slide, the timing of
the object will change to match the new length of the slide.
rest of project
Select this option if you want the object to be displayed for the rest of the project starting from that
slide.
6 Click OK.
To change object timing using the Timeline:
1 Open an Adobe Captivate project.
2
Double-click a slide that contains objects.
3
If it is not open already, show the Timeline by clicking the splitter bar. To expand the Timeline, click the display
arrow.
4
Change the timing of objects as required.

To change when and how long an object appears, move the mouse over the left or right edge of the object on
the Timeline until the resize pointer is displayed; click and hold down the mouse button, and then drag the edge
left or right.
