96 5. Understanding ProShow

Once the Transition Out is complete you will move into the slide time for
your next slide. That time will play and come to the Transition Out at the
end once again.

There’s a bit of a catch, though. Consider the second slide in your show. This
slide technically has 3 sections you need to factor into its total time:

• The transition time from the previous slide, which is considered
Transition In for your second slide

• The slide time for your second slide
• The Transition Out for this slide.

The contents of your second slide are going to be visible during all 3 of
those sections. That’s why it’s relevant. The first slide in your show doesn’t
have a transition before it, so there’s no Transition In. The end of slide 1
acts as a Transition Out for slide 1 and as a Transition In for slide 2.

Calculating Slide Time

You read this earlier but it’s important to repeat here. The total time of a
slide, including transition, is determined by what is assigned to that specific
slide in the Slide List.

Every slide you create has a slide time and a transition time. That means that
every slide’s total time is the addition of the slide time and the transition
time. A slide time of 3 seconds with a Transition In time of 3 seconds and a
Transition Out time of 3 seconds results in a total slide time of 9 seconds.
