Dear Björn,
Thanks a lot for using Animate it!
i have tested your code, and came to the following solution:
1. Use DIVs instead of Shortcodes while adding custom delays. You can generate the desired animation classes from here:
http://www.downloads.eleopard.in/class-generator
2. I have added some extra CSS and a wrapper DIV to make all the slides appear in one place (right now they are appearing one below the other)
You can see this code live in action here:

Your modified HTML code:

New CSS rules to be added:
.my-awesome-slideshow{
position: relative;
min-height: 220px;
}
.my-awesome-slideshow .animated{
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
About repeating Slide1, I am afraid but it won't be currently possible to bring back the first slide after the last slide is passed.
If we do that, the delay won't work.
Please feel free to let me know if you have any other queries.
if you find the plugin useful, please take some time to provide a good review
