All,
I am experimenting with time enabled data in ArcPro. I have converted 3 GPX files into 3 point FeatureClasses, they represent 3 cycle rides over a 5 day period, each GPX was approximately 1 hours worth of cycling.
I have enabled time on each of the layers and playing around with the slider I can make the points appear over time. The problem is that as there are 2 days between each cycle ride so the total time extent of the slider is 5 days as shown below. I highlight the 3 time periods on the slider.
As you can see most of the time slider is "nothing", i.e. no data for those time periods between the 3 featureclasses.
My question is: how do you make one time animation occur immediately after the other, without waiting for 2 days to pass before the next featureclass begins to show up on the map? Is this even possible? I essentially want to skip over the time gaps and play each animation immediately after the previous.

Tom,
I thought you had nailed it but on further exploration of setting end time it did not work as I wanted, the slider still steps over 2-3 days of time when there is no data. I have been able to achieve the animation effect I wanted by using the range property. I have achieved the effect I was looking for by adding to each point feature class a new numeric field and set that to be an ever increasing number which continues with each featureclass (required a little python coding). At this point I guess have abandoned the concept of "time".
Here is a low-res sample of what I achieved:
Been playing around with that fire fly style created by John Nelson with a transparency so regular routes glow brighter.
