White Paper, January 2003

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	Default Duration
	(Seconds from start of slide)	(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.
