Example

The following example adds a boomerang animation to a new shape on a new slide added to the active presentation.

Sub NewSequence()
    Dim sldNew As Slide
    Dim shpnew As Shape

    Set sldNew = ActivePresentation.Slides.Add(Index:=1, Layout:=ppLayoutBlank)
    Set shpnew = sldNew.Shapes.AddShape(Type:=msoShape5pointStar, _
        Left:=25, Top:=25, Width:=100, Height:=100)

    With sldNew.TimeLine.MainSequence.AddEffect(Shape:=shpnew, _
            EffectId:=msoAnimEffectBoomerang)
        .Timing.Speed = 0.5
        .Timing.Accelerate = 0.2
    End With
End Sub
