Example
The following example sets a dim color for an after effect on the first shape on the first slide in the active presentation. This example assume there is a shape on the first slide.
Sub ConvertToDim()
Dim shpSelected As Shape
Dim sldActive As Slide
Dim effConvert As Effect
Set sldActive = ActivePresentation.Slides(1)
Set shpSelected = sldActive.Shapes(1)
' Add an animation effect.
Set effConvert = sldActive.TimeLine.MainSequence.AddEffect _
(Shape:=shpSelected, effectId:=msoAnimEffectBounce)
' Add a dim after effect.
Set effConvert = sldActive.TimeLine.MainSequence.ConvertToAfterEffect _
(Effect:=effConvert, After:=msoAnimAfterEffectDim, _
DimColor:=RGB(Red:=255, Green:=255, Blue:=255))
