User Guide
You can stop all items in a container by setting an End time for the container, regardless of their internal timelines
or whether they have started or finished playing. For example, suppose all items in Container_A finish playing in 45
seconds. If you set an End time of 50 seconds for Container_A, the next container or item in the presentation begins
playing 5 seconds after the end of the last item in Container_A.
To use the Inspector to set the timing of a container
1
Select the container in the Timeline Editor.
2 In the Basic tab of the container’s Inspector, do one of the following:
•
To ensure that the container’s items don’t change when you change the container’s duration, deselect Scale
Container Elements.
• To ensure that the container’s items scale proportionally when you change to the container’s duration, select Scale
Container Elements.
3 Set the container’s begin time by doing one of the following:
•
To set a specific time, choose At Time from the Begin menu, and then enter a time in the Begin box.
• To set a time-dependency relationship, drag the pick whip (next to Begin) to the beginning, middle, or end of the
target container or item you want to synchronize with. When you drag to the middle of the target, you are synchro­
nizing with an offset time from the beginning of the target’s start time.
