MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / March 2008Slide transition
If I set the slide transition to 1 second for all slides, with no other activity (such as animation), why does the transition take longer than 1 second, such that a countdown of 1 minute takes something like 72 seconds? Is the extra time taken by writing to the display? Now, if the transition could be set to be less than 1 second... Powerpower 2003, by-the-way. Brian. Hi Brian I would imagine it is to do with the time the actual transition takes to happen. Have you tried 'no transition' and 'fast'? If you need an accurate timer I would be tempted to use animations rather than transitions (for example a circle with a one spoke wheel exit animation set to take 1 minute).

Have you tried 'no transition' and 'fast'? Yes, plus a one second time for each slide. If the "Automatically After" time is set to zero, then you can see that the actual transition still takes some time, so that would be added to the 1 second. > If you > need an accurate timer I would be tempted to use animations rather > than transitions (for example a circle with a one spoke wheel exit > animation set to take 1 minute). I was tempted to use animations on just one slide, but the thought of 60 stacked images and sorting them is a bit daunting! However, there are examples of timers mentioned within this group, so I'll look at those. Thanks, Lucy. Brian. As Lucy said. You might also want to look at this way to automatically make countdown timers. http://www.pptalchemy.co.uk/powerpoint_hints_and_tips_tutorials.html#timers SignatureAmazing PPT Hints, Tips and Tutorials http://www.PPTAlchemy.co.uk http://www.technologytrish.co.uk email john AT technologytrish.co.uk "no-spam-for-hkjffekafphdkdoemehepegkppbo" wrote: > If I set the slide transition to 1 second for all slides, with no other > activity (such as animation), why does the transition take longer than 1 [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Brian.
