Need object in new slide at its prior-slide animation endpoint. How?

[ksbrown]

I am very new at animation so this may be VERY elementary...

First slide has a large photograph. I apply shrink effect and it
smoothly gets much smaller. Works OK.

On second slide, I would like to have the now-shrunken photo bounce
around on a path to a new location. On the third slide I would like to
move the object yet again and add some other objects around it.

Is there an easy way to instruct PowerPoint to create a new slide
(duplicate slide?) with the objects having the exact size and location
they achieved at the end of animation in the previous slide? Or do I
have to create each object fresh in the new slide, using trial and
error to exactly match the ending view of the previous slide?

Or is there a completely different approach I should be using?

Thanks!

Hi ksbrown,
I would do everything on one slide instead.

Or if you are using PowerPoint 2003, you can make use of annotation (eg:
Felt Tip Pen in slide show) to outline the end result of the photo. Then,
when prompt to keep/discard the annotation, select keep.

You will then need to copy the annotation to the next slide. Insert the
photo again. Then, resize and move your photo according to the annotation you
have drawn.

You can also check here for an example on how to use annotation:
