Aside from the obvious "Fast, Medium, Slow" - is there a way to set the slide transition effect rate to an actual "seconds" setting

In other words, to make the transition from slide 1 to slide 2 happen in 4 seconds, Slide 2 to Slide 3 happen in 8 seconds, etc?
 
Hi,

Yes, but only by cheating. Grab a screen shot of the next slide as it will
look when it starts loads before it starts to animate, paste it on the
current slide, and use any entrance type transition and timing you like for
it to come in last. When it finishes, move onto the next slide, which you
got the screenshot from, and no-one except a Disney animator, maybe, will
know the difference :-)

Yes and no (unless you wanted an ambiguous answer)

There is no way to do this natively using the slow med fast settings on
slide transitions, but it can be 'faked' using the more flexible animation
timing.

To set this up, you'll need to ...
1) start your show and do a screen capture of slide 1
2) Save this as a graphics picture (JPG, BMP, PNG, Etc) (Pict A)
3) Repeat steps 1 & 2 for slide 2 (Pict B)
4) Insert a new slide between 1 and 2
5) Insert Pict A (full screen)
6) Insert Pict B (full screen)
7) Apply any Entrance animation to Pict B to start immediately
8) Adjust the animation timing to suit.
9) Autotransition to the next slide with no transition with the same amount
of time as the animation takes.

What's Happening:
1) Advance to next slide without change in appearance
2) Animation starts immediately and changes to picture of new slide 3
until completed
3) Slide transitions to slide 3 automatically, but there is no change in
the appearance.


Complicated, but sometimes worth while.

Hello,

Although PowerPoint allows you to control the time between slide
transitions (slide timing), PowerPoint doesn't provide the functionality
that you are looking for (fine control of transition speed).

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that it's important that
PowerPoint provide this kind of functionality, don't forget to send your
feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions)
