Edit element timing in your designs
Adjust when you want text and other elements to appear or disappear in your design.
In video designs, element timing works a bit differently. The timeline is always visible, and all timing controls are built directly into it.
To learn more about using the timeline, see Create and edit videos.
In presentation designs, on-click animations can also be used to dictate when elements appear or disappear. Visit our Apply, change, or remove animations article to learn more.
Edit element timing in your designs
- Create or open your design.
- Click on the element you want to edit.
- Right-click on the element and select Show element timing.
- Hover your mouse cursor over the element edge in the page navigator. Trim handles will appear.
- Drag the handles to the left or right to adjust the timing and length of the element.
- To hide an element’s timing, right-click on any element and select Hide element timing.
If the error icon shows up on your video, follow the steps found in My video won’t playback
Element timing vs. slide duration
Element timing controls when individual elements appear or disappear on a page. Slide duration controls how long the entire page displays.
If you want to adjust slide duration, see Set slide duration in your presentation.
