## New animation dialog box - Options tab

Use this dialog box to set timing and transition effects for an animation file.

### Timing

Continue movie while playing animation: Select this option to continue playing the movie while the animation plays. As the movie plays, the animation overlays all slides and layers. This option is useful if you have an animation file that you want to appear continually in a corner of the movie.

Show for [#] seconds: Specifies an exact time, in seconds, for the animation to appear. Type a number or use the arrows to set a number. <change sentence 1 to "Specifies an exact duration, in seconds, for the animation"?

Appear after [#] seconds: Type a number or use the arrows to set the number of seconds that should pass before the animation file plays.

Display for rest of movie: Select this option to display the animation on this slide and keep displaying the animation until the end of the movie.

Loop: Select this option to have the animation file loop (replay continuously) as the movie plays.
