This example specifies that the title on slide one in the active presentation is to appear dimmed after the title is built. If the title is the last or only shape to be built on slide one, the text won't be dimmed.
With ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes.Title.AnimationSettings
.Animate = True
.TextLevelEffect = ppAnimateByAllLevels
.AfterEffect = ppAfterEffectDim
