When you try to extend the timing, be it in the ribbon or in the timing dialog, PowerPoint will reset the timing back to 60 seconds. In the screenshot below I attempted to increase to 65 seconds and after pressing OK the timing went back to 60.
Using the arrows in the ribbon does not help either, you can't get passed 59.00 seconds:
And yet you can extend the delay timing to more than 60 seconds.
First make the advanced timeline visible. Right-click on the animation, or click on the listarrow next to your animation and choose Show advanced timeline.
Now, drag the animation timing bar to the desired time:
A double arrow will appear indicating the beginning, it may be necessary to zoom in or zoom out on the timing scale (especially if the delay is considerable). You can do that by clicking on the listarrow next to Seconds in the bottom left corner of the animation pane.
You can still do this in PPT 2016 and PPT 2019
I don't know if you can read English! But oh my goodness! You have been a real life saviour and it really works! Incredible! You have earned your place in heaven!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenGreat advice, thanks Luc, you're a life saver! :-))
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThank you for this! It was very helpful!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHello. Thank you for the tips!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI used them to set up a slide in PPT 2013 - video with auto pause, play after timer (2 minutes).
I’ve got an inserted video (from local source). Bookmarked,
pause media animation triggered by bookmarks - start on click,
play media animation (2 min delay, for each pause) triggered by bookmark - start after previous.
Works great - until a pause (play delay) is manually bypassed.
In this event, the elapsed time of the first pause/play is taken off the second pause/play.
Example: bookmark 1 (manual play after 15 second pause/delay); bookmark 2 (play delay 1:45).
I tried changing the “starts” on the play animations, with no luck.
Do have any insight to offer?
I see no way to avoid that problem.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI am not able to do this. However i try the timing gets back to 60s and i am unable to set beyond that. I am using MS Office 2016. Please help
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI just tried it here in PPT 2019 and it still works. Difficult to say what you are doing wrong without seeing how you proceed.
VerwijderenYou made my day!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThanks you
