Has anyone else had this problem that the timeline in the Slide Master does not work? I put a fade-in animation on a pic on the master itself. (I also tried putting it on a couple of the layouts.) The timeline play/pause buttons are greyed and using the space bar does not start it either. I can scrub the playhead to see it animate in Visualization mode. Slides with the master applied do not show the animation either.
I haven't had this issue before. I checked your file and the animation on the transparent image on the master slide seems to work just fine in Preview mode. So do the player buttons.
Were you having problems in Preview mode, or after publishing?
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We are currently tracking a known issue which is causing the play button in the Slide Master timeline to not function properly. I've included this post in the bug report so we can notify you immediately as soon as a fix is released, and we're very sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused.

Hi Veronica,
Thanks for your help.
OK. It seems to be working when previewing the actual slide. (I think I left something on top of it from all my messing around w/ it.
However, the timeline in the master slide view is still greyed out. I made a Peek of it:

(You can ignore the part near the end about it not working on the slide now, however.)
Thanks,

Oh, I see what you mean now.
I believe this is an issue or bug or just something that doesn't work in Master slide view. It's been like this for a long time, I just don't use it.
I seem to recall seeing recently someone post about this issue in the forums, so I'll see if I can find that.
Veronica,
Thanks much. I'm glad it wasn't just my imagination. :-)

Very much not your imagination. Apologies, I can't seem to find other threads on this, but it's definitely not my imagination either :)
