Hello,



I am trying to set up my slideshow to change slides at certain times, but there is a longer delay than I want between the transition. To test if the timing works, I set the transition time on a 45 second slide to 60 seconds. This does add the long delay before changing slides, but if I set the time to 5 seconds, it still plays the entire slide, including the 2 second delay before transitioning that I am trying to get rid of. How do I get the slide to change at any time I want to preset?

Thank you.

If you set the transition time LOWER than the time for animation to play by default the animation will complete (ie run for 45 seconds I guess) and then transition. Why do you want the transition to happen before the slide completes? If there's a 2 second delay it sounds like there is a final animation that takes 2 seconds.

Sorry for the long time between replies, I've been on other projects for a while.

I only set the transition time lower as an experiment to see if it would work. My problem is with several slides on this project that have seemingly long delays before transition.
One slide in particular runs for 37 seconds. The audio runs for 36 seconds. The transition is set to 38 seconds with 0.1 transition time. But the slide doesn't go on to the next one until 43 seconds. Other slides have more of a delay than I would like also, but this is the worst one. Is there anything I can do to get rid of the long pause?

How are you measuring the running time of the audio? Are you sure there isn't a blank area at the end.

I went to the "edit audio" part to clip it. By the measure in that section, it runs just under 36 seconds (like 35.94) with no blank space at the end.
