Individual Image/PDF Duration in Layout

Hello,
While perusing the forums, I concluded that the only way to set the duration of individual images and/or PDFs happens through the library section. Can I specify the duration somewhere else? Also, when looking at the manual I tried to follow the link on the Layout Timeline page https://xibo.org.uk/manual/en/layouts_timeline.html to see the v2 page https://xibo.org.uk/manual/en/layouts_timeline_2.0 but got a 404 message. I greatly appreciate any advice.

Thank you for letting us know, we will correct the link in the manual asap: v2 Layout Timeline

When you add media to your Layout you have the option of selecting to override the default duration for individual items from the Layout Designer, Edit forms:

On the General tab, tick to ‘Set a duration’ and provide the new duration in seconds. The timeline will update and show the duration for that particular media item.

If you are new to Xibo, please do take a look at our Guides section and the How to Create a Simple Layout and Understanding Media Duration for a helpful introduction to content creation.

Hi Natasha,
Thank you for responding. Oddly the link in the page you refer to for v2.0 has a broken link to v2.3. I see now where to manually change the duration. Seems I mentally blocked that section. Thank again for the reply.
