Before you start
Prepare the slides before enabling automatic playback.
Select a slide
Choose a slide in the rundown, then open Design & timing. Think about how long a person needs to read the text, not only how quickly the operator can move through the list.
Enter its duration
Set Seconds before next slide to the required duration. The control accepts values from 1 to 3600 seconds. Use longer durations for detailed announcements and avoid automatic timings for passages that a speaker may read at a variable pace.
Repeat for other slides
Close the dialog and set the duration of the remaining timed slides. Review the sequence so a default duration does not move unexpectedly past an important cue.
Rehearse playback
Use Play rundown during rehearsal and watch the timing on the actual output. Stop playback before making changes. Keep manual operation available for moments when the service moves differently from the prepared timings.
If you need a hand
Timing applies during rundown playback. Simply selecting a slide does not start the timer or take that slide to the audience.
