Hello all, my first post here.

I use a lot of animation on my slides and now that I've seen several documentary videos to zoom in/ zoom out/ or move still pictures to make the videos more lifelike and audience wouldn't get bored just sitting there watching a still picture.

Well, having a still picture zooming in or out is a piece of cake. But the problem that I have is when I try to move on to the next slide.

Let's just say I have added 'grow/shrink' animation onto an image for 20 seconds. While I am presenting, the image will slowly grow or shrink along with my speech, but if I finish up my speech on 13 seconds and want to move on to the next slide (by tapping space or clicking on the left-mouse button), the whole animation finishes in an instant. Because ofcourse, when I pressed on space, the animation completed itself instantaneously. The next tap on space will let me move onto the next slide.

I want this middle part to go away. At 13 seconds when I will see that my speech is done, I want to move on to the next slide immediately. I don't want the animation to end, I just want to move on to the next slide without any regard to the grow/shrink animation on the last slide.

Thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated
