Yes but that won't make the series repeat. Do you have the slide set to auto transition and loop or are you trying something else?

Sorry. I ticked "Loop cont. until esc" under setup show.
I only have one slide set up to test/train on with these 8 photos. What I'd like to do is incorp this into a PPT with several slides. IOW- this would be the first slide and act as a segue into the main presentation and would run as long as needed.

Tnx,

OK two things then:
First you will have to create a custom show for the first slide and another for the rest of the slides. Otherwise the whole show will loop not just the first slide.

There's more on this on our site

To avoid the blank time as the first picture fades in you will have to make a more complex animation. This is a little difficult to explain!
A Top image Fades OUT 8secs
B Half way through this next image fades IN (With previous / delay 4 secs)
C This finishes at 12 secs This image fades out with previous delay 12 secs
D Half way through this fade OUT at 16secs next image fade in etc
E End with the first image fade back in

Have a look at this simple demo to understand more

Thanks for the tips. Did look at your demo and noticed that you have the same photo fading in and then out. Mine does ok except for the last photo is where I get the white screen for ~ 2 seconds. Like yours, thanks.

Will work on the first part later today/tomorrow 'adding' slide to PPT.
This is something I don't need now so I'd better get back to work.

Much tnx,
