I have a presentation with a slide that, while it is in the process of crossfading to the next slide, I want to perform an animation. The animation and transition are of the same duration, so they should complete at the same time.
I attempted to accomplish this effect by inserting a duplicate of the slide with an auto-advance timer of 0 and an animation that auto-triggers on slide load, but PowerPoint blocks the transition until the animation is complete.
Is it possible to get an animation to occur during a slide transition?

For the animation have you tried putting it ontop and choosing 'with previous'? Also what version of PowerPoint are you using? – ss4566654768 – 2015-12-09T23:00:15.077
@RACING121 2016. That was my thought for how to accomplish this task, but Powerpoint blocked the transition until the animation was complete. – Techrocket9 – 2015-12-09T23:05:32.843
Can you cheat? Instead of using a slide transition, fade the first slide to an image of the second slide, and then go straight to the second slide. Like a fake transition. – Paul – 2015-12-09T23:19:29.937
@Paul That's more or less my fallback solution, except I copied the entire contents of the second slide over the first individually instead of as an image to preserve quality. The downside to this approach is that it makes working with individual elements on the transition slide with two sets of content very difficult. – Techrocket9 – 2015-12-09T23:36:13.443
