Why ‘Transition In’ is Important

Transition In is important because, unless you specify otherwise, your layers
and any effects are going to begin to be seen on the screen as soon as the
slide becomes visible -and the slide becomes visible during the transition
period as one slide ends and the next one begins.
Let’s say you’ve added some motion to slide 2. As soon as slide 1 begins to
Transition Out, it’s also starting the Transition In to slide 2. When the
Transition In starts, the motion starts on slide 2. The transition from a
previous slide will kick off the motion on the slide after it. Remember that
unless you specifically set motion to start only after the Transition In is
over, that motion will begin even before the full slide time on slide 1 has
been reached.

Changing All Times at Once
There are several ways to see the length of a slide. In all three
Workspaces, simply single-click on any slide. Just below the Preview on
the right, you'll see information about the selected slide including the slide
name, the number of layers of the slide, and the total length of the slide.

In the Design Workspace, you'll also see the total slide length displayed as
part of the Slide Summary in the Slide Inspector pane.
Regardless of the Workspace you are in, you can see all three time values,
and change them easily by opening up the Slide Options window.
