Hi,

I have a figure which I intend to have move up the slide over 4 separate
motion paths (as the figure is taller than the slide). Between each motion
path I would like to have a series of custom animations appear to highlight
various parts of the figure (arrows etc.). However, how do I know where to
draw these custom animations to position them correctly? I can't seem to
figure out how to look at the motion path frame by frame in the normal slide
view so that I can add custom animations to the right spot.

Any ideas are most appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris
 
Trial and error, my friend. PowerPoint lacks a true timeline, as you'll find
in a NLE like Premiere, so there is no way to know exactly where elements
will be on a slide at a moment in time.

I find it ironic that the Animation task pane has a setting called Advanced
Timeline, which is nothing more than a little rectangle representing the
speed and duration of an object's movement. Nothing advanced about that!
