Hi,



I make a custom fade of 5 seconds. I save the presentation. Close it.
Re-open and the fade is back to a standard time setting!

Driving me crazy. Anyone know what I'm missing?

Thanks
Emma

I'm confused because 5 secconds IS a standard time setting (very slow)

Maybe go through what you did step by step.

I select the slide, go to transitions, > fade> duration> 5 seconds and save.

It works fine until I close the presentation and then reopen it ... the transition then defaults back to the standard quick fade!

I want some very slow reveals and the only way seems to set it up every time I open it.
I'm stumped.

Ahh I thought you were talkng about Animation.

Could you be saving in the old ppt or pps formats. If so they do not support custom transition times. Other than that I don't kinow. doesn't happen here if I save as pptx.

I will take a look at the versions being used.
I am a Premiere and After Effects person and find Powerpoint complicated ... or maybe I'm too lazy to get to grips with it.
Thanks a lot for your time though, I think you have pointed out the problem
