Looping with delay?

[Guest]

Hi,
i would like to ask how can you loop an effect, but with delay in between?
for eg. swivel > pause 5 second > swivel > pause 5 second > swivel and so on

I would like to know of a simple way to do this, and that would allows me to
insert in between other animations also. Thanks in advance.

Basically what you will do is reselect the object, go into Custom Animation,
click the desired effect, click the timing dropdown and select "After
previous', then click the dropdown arrow of that newly created animation in
the taskpane and click "Timing". There you can set the delay.

Since the "Swivel" is part of the "Entrance" animations it might appear as
though the object blinks when it animates because you are really trying to
put it on the screen again.

Hope that helps. Holler if you have questions/problems!

But from what I know, when you do this, powerpoint only delay (for eg.) 2
seconds at the first time and the next repeat will not have anymore delays,
whereas what i want is to allow it to delay 2 seconds everytime it swivels.

If you are planning on going on to other slides and them coming back, you
are right. The slide transition comes back to the slide at the END (after
all animations). What you do there is to put a blank slide with the same
background as your desired slide just before it and set its slide transition
to automatically go to the next slide after "0" seconds. That way you come
to your slide at the BEGINNING.

If you are animating the same object on the same slide, the steps I provided
earlier can be used.

yea, i meant animating an object on a single slide. I tried your method, but
it doesnt work out effectively. I mean when i use that method, if you modify
the repeat setting, the delay only work for the first time. It is also
possible to repeat making the same animation again by repeatly adding the
same animation. But if I want the object to swivel repeatly(with delay),
while other animation is going, it doesnt work anymore.

I think the only way you are going to be able to get the "repeatedly" effect
is to create an animated gif. maybe someone lese will have a different
solution.
