Timeline changes when pasting shape from another slide

Jan 13, 2013

Hello,

I am having some trouble with the timeline and am curious if anyone is having the same problem and hopefully have a solution. 

I have an animated title bar on some my slides that flies in from right. The original shape is less than five seconds on the timeline but whenever I paste this onto a new slide it changes the timeline end from 5 seconds to 192 seconds. I am having this problem on multiple courses. The problem seems to be whenever I paste a shape with animation and it always sets the timeline end to 192 seconds. Is anyone else having this issue or am I just doing something wrong? Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Well, I'm not sure why I didn't just put it on the slide master to begin with. I made the animated graphic on the master and just added a second placeholder text box for that graphic. It eliminates the issue of having to paste it on each slide which is causing the timeline issue. 

To answer your question, I do have the Update 2 installed. Not sure this is worth pursuing further since there's a better way to do it anyways. 

Thanks for your reply.
