Timing.Accelerate property (PowerPoint)

  • Article

Returns or sets the percentage of the duration over which a timing acceleration should take place. Read/write.

Syntax

expression. Accelerate

expression A variable that represents an Timing object.

Return value

Single

Remarks

For example, a value of 0.9 means that an acceleration should start slower than the default speed for 90% of the total animation time, with the last 10% of the animation at the default speed.

To slow down an animation at the end, use the Decelerate property.

Example

This example adds a shape and adds an animation, starting out slow and matching the default speed after 30% of the animation sequence.

Sub AddShapeSetTiming()

    Dim effDiamond As Effect
    Dim shpRectangle As Shape

    'Adds rectangle and specifies effect to use for rectangle
    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)

    'Specifies the acceleration for the effect

    With effDiamond.Timing
        .Accelerate = 0.3
    End With

End Sub
