SYMPTOMS
When you create a Microsoft PowerPoint movie with QuickTime transitions between slides in PowerPoint 2001 for Mac, there is no transition before the first slide. The first slide appears without a transition even when the movie plays in a loop.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because QuickTime animation is triggered by a slide transition event, and the starting of the presentation is not reported as a transition event.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, add a blank slide as the first slide in the presentation, and then there will be a transition from the blank slide to the former first slide of the presentation. To add a blank slide and set up the transition, follow these steps:
 * 1) On the Edit menu, click Preferences.
 * 2) On the Advanced tab, click to select the Enable multiple designs per presentation check box, and then click OK.
 * 3) On the View menu, click Slide Sorter.
 * 4) Click to the left of the first slide in the presentation.
 * 5) On the Insert menu, click New Slide.
 * 6) On the Format menu, click Apply Design Template.
 * 7) Select Blank in the list of design templates.
 * 8) Click to select the Apply to selected slides check box, and then click Apply.
 * 9) On the Slide Show menu, click Slide Transition.
 * 10) Click Select QuickTime Transition in the Effect list, select the effect that you want, and then click OK.
 * 11) Click to clear the On mouse click check box, and then click to select the Automatically after seconds check box.
 * 12) Type 0 in the Automatically after seconds box, and then click Apply.
