Inventor studio - extending timeline?

Help! I have just finished creating a 60 second assembly animation but after rendering I realised that the parts move a bit too quickly.
I thought there would be a quick way of extending the timeline to say double the time (120 seconds) with the animation automatically stretching over this time period instead, therefore slowing down the motion of the parts.
I found that this is not the case.
Does anyone know of any quick fix solutions or do I have to change the timing on every individual constraint and component?

Thanks

In Studio you would have to extend the time of each event.

How I do it is.

Open in Windows Movie Maker and apply an effect of Slow Down, Half Speed.

Studio will not automatically "rescale" the timing of animation events after
you change the duration of the entire animation and as you feared, you'll
need to manually change the timing.

Studio does allow you to grab the "event" within the time line and slide it
left/right to move the event within the timeline. You can also grab the
event boundary boxes and drag them left/right to change the start/end times.

This drag technique might be faster than double-clicking into the event and
manually editing the times in the entry fields.

Hi,

 

       Does anyone know of a way to move all of the events on an animation timeline forward at once so I can put a camera action before the events that are on the timeline? Thanks

I think you will have to drag each start point individually.
How many actions are we talking about?

 

I think I would have started a new thread for this question.

Thanks for the prompt reply. About 70 events, but I am using "animate constraints" and if I don't preserve the relationships between the events exactly, the animation will fail. I was hoping there was a [ctrl] A or something to select all the events. Thanks

Editing the time line is crap
Why don't they have select all to end or select all to start like in the presentation maker.
This program could be usable if they just has a few extra editing tweaks.
once you try to start dragging events around and they get out of Sync with changing constraints its a nightmare.

Sorely needs improvement
