How do I capture the last frame of an animation for another slide.

[theB123]

I am trying to make a very fluid presentation with animation. I am trying to
carry the result (last frame) of an animation to another slide for
continuation. The only alternative I can see is putting my presentation all
into one slide, but the editing becomes messy and cluttered. Does anyone
know a way to accomplish this task?

The fastest way is perhaps to use print screen on your keyboard to capture
the last animation.
If the animations involve motion path, try the motion path tools which
allows you to create duplicate shapes at the end position of the animation:

Thanks alot tohlz. That helped greatly. You wouldn't happen to know of
something similar that can capture the result of a text grow/shrink
animation, would you? With something like that I will be complete.

My workaround is probably to capture the screenshot, then resize the
screenshot so that it fits on the slide. Next, add the original object and
place it over the screenshot. Resize the object so that it matches the object
shown in screenshot. You can then delete the screenshot away.

Thanks again tohlz. Shortly after I posted that question I found a great way
to work around it. If you right click the text object and choose "Save as
Picture," then import the image file, align it with the original one, then
delete the original and recreate your animation, it works like a charm. The
only disadvantage is that you cannot change the text thereafter. Then I used
the Motion Path Tools to capture it's endpoint and resized according to
percentages in the properties. Again, I really appreciate you directing me
to the Motion Path Tools Add In. To anyone reading this, these tools fill in
a very important gap in PowerPoint's functionality.
