If you do not need any animation you cat set ‘1’ for Start/End Animation and ‘0’ for Display/Hide at. It will make the animation to play fast and stay object during whole slide duration.
How can I disable layer animations all together. I want the slide elements to be visible during the slide animation, not appear after it is over and disappear before it starts.
Probably you should also decrease animation duration in settings of your slider. Could you show your result or is there live example of slider you created?
