Media Object Timing
Timing of individual media objects must be within the overall slide time except for audio. This
provides plenty of flexibility and greatly reduces the complexity of building a presentation.
The user may add text, an image and a sound clip to each slide. The timing of each within the
slide can be adjusted. The default timings are as follows:
Object type Start Point
(Seconds from start of slide)
Default Duration
(Seconds)
Text 0 5 seconds
Image 0 5 seconds
Animation 0 Duration of animation
Audio 0 Duration of audio clip
No Content 0 5 seconds
The user is not allowed to shorten the duration of a slide such that any media item would be
truncated, meaning that the minimum duration of a slide is never less than the duration of the
longest object within it.
The following example helps explain P800 timing behaviour:
The user creates a new message using the
Blank template. An image and some text is
added. Both of these are set to last 5 seconds,
which is the default duration of a slide
A 4-second audio clip is now added. The
duration of the slide is now set to the duration of
the clip and the display time of the image and
text objects is shortened too.
