Here is what you do: * Create a slice filter * Turn on the Animation View (View -> Animation View) * Set the number of frames to however many slices you want * Add a new track for Slice - Slice Offset Values * Double click on the track and add the values you want (this should look like the image attached) * Use the animation controls to switch between slice values
It is probably easy to write a Python macro to do that but I don't know the animation API well enough to figure it out quickly.
