I created a timer on my master slide. It shows up on the majority of my slides but for some reason it will not show up on any of the slides I have with pictures on them. I tried to simply bring the timer to the front on the master slide but that does not change anything. Any suggestions?
In the attached example, I have set up a basic timer on a layer in the Master Slide. The layer is also set in the Master Slide to show when the timeline starts for this slide. This will now show up on top of any images on the base layer. Where you will have problems is if you then place other layers on top in your individual slides, but I hope this at least helps in some way.
One option you do have with other layers is to ensure other open layers remain visible when a new layer opens and "quarantine" a space on each layer for your timer to show through. You can still hide objects on the base layer.
