Hello young warrior.
Good to see you have returned to refine your ninja skills in PowerPoint animation.

Level 2 will test your strength and resilience and so all young warriors must have the right tools for battle.
At the end of Level 1 we met the Quick Access Toolbar: think of it as the Animation Ninja’s utility belt.
It puts everything you need within arm’s reach to make you animate like even the sneakiest of ninjas.
You can right click your tools and add them to your Quick Access Toolbar, or you can download one here that’s pre-filled and ready to go.
Remember: left to add, right to replace. [Beth this refers to the two animation icons in each category on the QAT – I think here it just probably needs some sort of label]
We know how to bring things in and out, but how do we transform them?
Introducing your EMPHASIS animations – here we can make things
grow…
Shrink
Change colour
Pulse
Wobble
Spin

In your animation pane open up your motion path and slide the arrow over to a smooth end.
Change your timings so both animations last 0.5 of a second and run at the same time.
Stand back and marvel at your ninja-dom.
