The following example adds a shape and an animation effect to it; then it sets the animation to reverse direction after it finishes its forward movement.

Sub SetEffectTiming()



    Dim effDiamond As Effect

    Dim shpRectangle As Shape



    'Adds rectangle and applies diamond effect

    Set shpRectangle = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes.AddShape _

        (Type:=msoShapeRectangle, Left:=100, _

        Top:=100, Width:=50, Height:=50)

    Set effDiamond = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).TimeLine _

        .MainSequence.AddEffect(Shape:=shpRectangle, _

         effectId:=msoAnimEffectPathDiamond)



    'Sets the duration of and reverses the effect

    With effDiamond.Timing

        .Duration = 5 ' Length of effect.

        .AutoReverse= msoTrue

    End With



End Sub
