PowerPoint should tell me the total time of my slideshow in sec.

[Guest]

I would like to have a place on powerpoint that would let me know the total
length of my slideshow as I work on it, create transistions, etc.

For example, if I'm trying to stay under 10 minutes, I should be able to
tell that if I delete "X" amount of pictures or shorten their transition
times, when I've gotten my slideshow under that mark.

I would like a clock that can be placed in the corner that auto updates the
total time of my slideshow after every adjustment.

You probably need VBA to do so. Here's where you can check out:
"Show me the transition time of each slide and total running time of the show"

Here is a short macro for that

Sub DureeTotale()

Duree = 0
For Each dia In ActivePresentation.Slides
Duree = Duree + dia.SlideShowTransition.AdvanceTime
Next
Duree = Round(Duree)
Minutes = Int(Duree / 60)
Secondes = Duree Mod 60
MsgBox "Durée totale:" & Minutes & " minutes et " & Secondes & "secondes"

End Sub
You can change french to english! ie: Durée totale = total lenght
