Free templates unworkable
(4)

I have downloaded several free templates but find most of them unworkable due to elements that are clearly in the live version of the slide, yet they are hidden in the timeline itself. I need to edit or change something in the slide but I cant because it isn’t in the timeline. I can clearly see a bold line between elements, but that is all I have that gives me a hint that something else is going on with the slide. Doing a search on this is frustrating as I don’t know how to search for something I don’t understand is happening.

Here is an example: During the live viewing of this slide, this gal moves between about 5 different positions. This means there should be at least 5 different elements on the timeline. There isnt tho, there is only one. But if I look to the left, I see bold lines between the elements represented. What does this mean? Something is hidden, but I dont know how to view / get to / edit the elements that are hidden.

From your description I suspect it is a multistate object.

Hi Victoria, if you’re having trouble with an eLearning Brothers template, feel free to email support@eLearningbrothers.com, let them know which template it is, and ask them your question!

Normally this question should be asked on the eLearning Brothers site. I can only offer a suggestion: check if they used a multistate object. In that case you will only see the object itself on the timeline, to see the states you need to use the Object State panel, which can be opened with the ‘View State’ button in the Properties panel of the multistate object.
