ConvertToAfterEffect Method

object that represents an after effect.

expression.ConvertToAfterEffect(Effect, After, DimColor, DimSchemeColor)

expression    Required. An expression that returns a Sequence object.

Effect   Required Effect object. The effect to which the after effect will be added.

After   Required MsoAnimAfterEffect. The behavior of the after effect.

DimColor   Optional MsoRGBType. A single color to apply the after effect.

DimSchemeColor   Optional PpColorSchemeIndex. A predefined color scheme to apply to the after effect.

Remarks

Do not use both the DimColor and DimSchemeColor arguments in the same call to this method. An after effect may have one color, or use a predefined color scheme, but not both.

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))

End Sub
