- Just do this: Create the bars and black animations in such a way that when
- played back in *slow-mo* mode, you'll get 30 sec. of bars and 10 sec. of
- black. I know with my PAR, one of the slow-mo speeds is 0.1 frames per
- second (or something like that). At that speed, one frame will stay on the
- screen for 10 seconds...so make 3 frames of bars, 1 frame of black, append
- them together (or make a playlist), and play it at 0.1 frames per second.
- It'll take up a minimal amount of space, and the timing will be perfect!
