I want to show pictures with PP for a very short time, just a few msec.
Anyone knows if and how this is possible?

Hi,
In the animation settings for version 2002 and 2003, you can manually type
in small numbers. that will allow you to find out what the smallest number
it will take is.

Just as an aside to Glen's comment, you may also want to keep the slide
after the 'really short transition' slide completely blank. This will allow
for a faster load time and keep the actual time the slide is on the screen a
bit closer to what you asked for. If the following slide is complicated or
has large graphics, then the pre-load and load time for that slide may
interfere with your 'short time' slide.
Are you trying to sync something? or do subliminal cuts?

Thanks Glen and Bill!
Yes, I want to present pictures subliminal. Which means showing the picture
for as little as 20 msec. Anyone who could tell me the shortest time one
could display a picture in PP? I know there's suppose to be computer screens
which can go from blank to picture, to blank again in about 6 msec...
And how can I meassure the actual time the picture is displayed for?
(As you said: "This will allow for a faster load time and keep the actual
time the slide is on the screen a bit closer to what you asked for.")

The "slide transition" from slide to slide has a lower limit of 1 second.
Custom animations on the same slide can be 0.1 seconds.
A lot depends on how much 'data' is in the pictures.
I'd say that "1" second is the 'safest' shortest time, powerpoint will
consistently display up to 10 pictures in quick succession, using the
"appear" custom animation. (if they contain approx 800 pixels wide) on a
slow PC (think P3 0.5ghz)
On a fast PC (think P3 3ghz) you can safely go to the quickest powerpoint
timing of 0.1 seconds for the same pictures

My guess is that you'll be limited both by PowerPoint and by the hardware.
I wouldn't even bother with PPT's built-in settings. As near as I can tell, the
best they'll let you request is approx .1 second increments
Try something like this:
Add a picture to slide 1 of a presentation
While it's selected, run this code to name it and make it invisible
Sub NameIt()
with ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange(1)
.Name = "MisterSubliminal"
.Visible = False
End with
End Sub
Then add this code to the same module and add an action button set to run it when
clicked:
Sub SublimateMe()
With ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes("MisterSubliminal")
.Visible = True
doevents
.Visible = False
doevents
End with
End Sub
Start the slide show and click the button. That should make the picture become
visible then invisible as fast as PPT/your hardware can make it happen.
If that works, we can add a variable delay to make it stay visible longer.

If you're a mouser, yes. If you type in the .1 you'll get to the end faster.

Thanks to everyone!
I guess I got my answer: I need fast screen, a fast PC, and a program that
is fasterthan PPT.

You will probably need to look into a movie software, but even at that, your
20 msec may be a bit more than even they can handle. Most computer video
formats have a target frame rate from 8 (very poor) to 30 frames per second
after rendering. Even if your kick-butt system consistently hits the 30
frames per second, you will have each frame on the screen for 3 hundredths
of a second or 1.5 times your goal duration. (Note: 30 fps is better than
Hollywood movies which are normally shot at 24 frames per second.)
Add to this, that often some frames are 'dropped' in order for the video
playback software to 'catch up' to real time, this may result in no
subliminal image being shown. I do not know of any software that tracks
which frames were dropped. Of course the inverse is also true. The
computer may decide to run a virus scan or figure out pi, just as your frame
is being shown, resulting in your image being 'on screen' for substantially
longer than intended, as the CPU wrestles with it's demands.
To really achieve this project's target (20 msec subliminal cuts in a
projected image), you may need to look towards a dedicated very high speed
(can be read very expensive) video system or custom write your own video
program (not recommended).

I'm getting it to flip through 8 or ten slides in not more than 1 second, so we
must be doing something different.
Select a bunch of slides, then:
Advance slide:
Automatically after: 00:00.1
BingBingBingBingBing ... etc.
