Slide Transitions - Keep some objects static?

Hi all,

I have a project where, for branding purposes, we've added a custom navigation bar rather than using the built-in bar in the player.  This nav bar with the logos is located on the slide master, and the prev/next buttons are added to each slide since many of them need to be hardcoded to different scenes or slides depending on variables.

Because the navigation bar is on the slides rather than built into the player, 'Push' transitions cause the bar and buttons to fly in and out of the slides along with all of the other slide contents.  Is there any way to lock some objects in place so that they are 'immune' to the transition?  

My other option is to eliminate push transitions altogether and opt for only fades, but I like the look of the push so I wanted to ask before eliminating it.

Thanks!

Amy

P.S. I'm using Storyline 2.
