Example

The following example adds a shape to a slide, animates the shape, and instructs the shape to decelerate when it ends.

Sub AddShapeSetTiming()

    Dim effDiamond As Effect
    Dim shpRectangle As Shape

    'Adds shape and sets animation effect
    Set shpRectangle = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes _
        .AddShape(Type:=msoShapeRectangle, Left:=100, _
        Top:=100, Width:=50, Height:=50)

    Set effDiamond = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).TimeLine.MainSequence _
        .AddEffect(Shape:=shpRectangle, effectId:=msoAnimEffectPathDiamond)

    'Sets duration of effect and slows animation at end
    With effDiamond.Timing
        .Duration = 5
        .SmoothEnd = msoTrue
    End With

End Sub
