Animate Explode - slow down?

Animate Explode - slow down?

Animate Explode - slow down?

(OP)
I'm trying to make a nifty animate explode / collapse, to show how to build this little gizmo.  It seems like no matter how many steps are in the explode, it will only give you 8 seconds, so more steps = much faster movement.
Can I adjust that?  ie, 2 seconds per step or something?

Also, is there a way to export that into a .avi file or something?

Thanks

RE: Animate Explode - slow down?

The Explode/Collapse animation has very limited functionality. To get better animation results, you will need to use the SW Animator add-in.
