Potential Symptoms

Environment
- Product:

Resolution
Step 1: Make sure Content Studio Timeline is Enabled.
Step 2: Import a Video into Content Studio if you do not already have one imported into Content Studio.
Step 3: Extend the Layout and Video Element in the Content Studio timeline.
- Note: The following process will not make an animation or video play slowly; it will merely just make it play multiple times.
- Click on the Timeline tab in the bottom left.
- The time can be changed by either manually clicking and dragging the layout bar, or right clicking on the layout and selecting Properties and then entering the duration, or right clicking and select Match to Layout.
- Small grey lines in the element bar indicate where the video repeats or loops.
- Click the Application menu, choose Save or Save As.
- The time can be changed by either manually clicking and dragging the layout bar, or right clicking on the layout and selecting Properties and then entering the duration, or right clicking and select Match to Layout.
- Extend the Layout time by clicking on the layout bar's edge and dragging it out. You can also hold down the Alt key on your keyboard when moving an entire Layout to move all elements with it.
- For more guidance, follow Content Studio Layouts: How do I adjust the hold time or duration of slides? .
- Most Media Kit Videos/Animations have play time of 2 seconds, so it is generally recommended to extend layout play length in multiples of 2 (e.g. 4 sec, 6 sec, etc...).
