well you could just have a few for loops, like:

for (frame=0; frame<60; frame++)
  {
  fade in/zoom text on/do whatever
  vsync
  }
for (frame=0; frame<60; frame++)
  {
  leave stuff on screen static
  vsync
  }
for (frame=0; frame<60; frame++)
  {
  fade out/zoom text off/do whatever
  vsync
  }

each loop lasts 60 vsyncs, which at 60fps is one second.

hope thats some kind of help?
