OR

1. Click the Add time button in the Keyframe Toolbar.

2. Choose the Keyframe and Time value from the Add Time dialog
window.

3. Enter a positive time value, in seconds, to add time.
4. Enter a negative time value, in seconds, to remove time.

5. Click on Ok.

When you add or remove time using this method, it’s important to
understand how it works and what is being created.

If you have three keyframes, and you add one second to Keyframe 2, you
will add that time value in between keyframes 2 and 3. Keyframe 2 will
stay at the same time, and Keyframe 3 will be moved back one second.
This adds one second to the whole slide, but only between that pair of
keyframes you choose. Effectively, this means that you will always add time
after the marker you have selected.

Again, this method is best used when you only want to adjust the time at a
particular portion of your slide, rather than altering the whole slide.

You would use Add/Remove Time from Keyframe time for a couple
different things:
• You want to add time at the end of a slide, and want all your
keyframes to stay where they are. Remember that if you change
the time of a slide using normal methods, your keyframes will
scale, meaning that they will all change times as they move in
proportion with the change to the slide. Sometimes, you don’t
want your keyframes to move.

• You want to add additional time at the end of a slide so you can
add more effects. Use Add/Remove Time to accomplish this. Just
add time to the last keyframe. You’ll get the extra slide time you
need, and all of your existing keyframes will remain where they
are.
