PowerPoint is a Microsoft application used to create presentations that can be displayed on computers or projected. It allows users to easily create professional-looking presentations with features like templates, layouts, and designs. Presentations consist of slides that can include text, images, charts, and other media. Users can view slides in Normal or Outline view and can add animations and transitions between slides to enhance the presentation.

15. Animations & Transitions
PowerPoint: Setting Animations and Transitions
• Animations--effects that make text and other screen items
move, appear, and disappear--can, at the best of times, significantly
enhance a presentation and focus the audience's attention on the
point or points you'd like them to be focusing on. Unfortunately, it's
also an inherent quality of animations that they can render an
otherwise sober presentation silly, disrupting the presentation's pace
and distracting the audience.
•
The best way to ensure that your animations are helpful rather than
harmful is to set them, insofar as is possible, at the template level in
the slide master. A few animations, such as those that might be
required for individual images that do not appear on every slide will
still have to be set on a one-at-a-time basis, but by setting the
majority of your animations at the template level, you can ensure
that your audience doesn't become bewildered by an inconsistent
barrage of differing transitions and motions.

16. Benefits
• Benefits of adding animation and slide transitions:
• They provide visual interest to your presentation and
grab the audience's attention (as long as they are not
overused).
• You can reveal points on slides in a staggered way (i.e.
one bullet displayed at a time) to keep the audience
focused only on the point which you are discussing at
the given time.
• You can automate the presentation so it runs on its own.

17. Adding Transitions
Slide transitions control how your presentation moves from slide to slide
 In either the Slide Sorter or Normal view, select the slide or slides which you want to apply the
transition to.

From the menu ribbon, select the Transitions tab.

The most commonly used animations will appear in the center. To preview more transition
options, click the down arrow.


To preview a transition, click on the Preview button in the upper-left hand corner of the window.
Select a transition from the list. Clicking it will apply the transition to the slide. You can also
select Apply to All to apply the same transition to all your slides.
In the Duration option, enter the speed at which you want the transition to play.


19. Adding Transitions

In the Sound field, use the drop-down menu to select a sound to play during a slide
transition, if desired.

Indicate how you want the slide transition to occur by selecting an option under the Advance
Slide heading.
Select On mouse Click if you want the transition to take place when you click the left mouse
button.
Select Automatically After if you want the transition to occur after a specified time. Use the
up and down arrow keys in the blank box to specify the number of seconds which should
pass before the transition takes place.





22. You can create custom animations to specify exactly what you want to animate and how it should
be done.
•
Select the slide which you want to apply the animation to.
•
From the menu bar, select the Animations tab and the Animation Pane button. The
Animation Pane appears on the right side of the screen.
•
If you previously selected an animation for an element on the page, the animation for it will be
shown.
•
Click on an element of the slide that you want to animate. For example, you could select a
title, bulleted list, or graphic.

23. •
Click Add Effect. A menu appears with a list of effect categories. Entrance effects
control how the element enters the slide. Emphasis effects make the element do
something after it enters the slide. Exit effects control how it leaves the slide. Motion
paths allow you to specify where the element travels on the slide.
•
Select one of the effects. Details about the effect appear in the Animation Pane.
•
In the Start field, use the drop-down menu to select an event which will trigger the
animation.
With Previous means the animation will occur at the same time as the previous
animation on the slide or it will occur when the slide appears if there are no previous
animations.
After Previous means the animation will occur after the previous animation.
•
Use the lists in the Animation Pane to adjuct options such as animation speed and
direction.
