I have several lines of text that I set to "credits" animation so they would roll up the screen sort of like the opening sequence in the Star Wars movies. The problem is even the slowest speed (5 seconds) is too fast for the viewers to read what's there. Any way to make it go slower?
 
I tried playing with powerpoint to see if i could replicate the issue. When I used credit, it seemed slow enough to read unless maybe if there were too many lines and the lines were very wide. I am wondering if you were instead using a custom animation. If so, you can set the default delay to longer than 5 seconds however, you have to break up the text and apply the delay to each line or else the delay only affects one line and then the rest follow at their normal setting. hope this helps.
