Animation in PowerPoint

Animation and Its Effect in MS PowerPoint

Animations are visual effects which make your texts, images, shapes, or charts come ‘alive.’ They catch your audience’s attention and helps them engage with you and your presentation.
Moreover, there are generally two types of animations you can use to make your presentation come alive. These are:

Transition
Animation

We would Talk about Transition later in the Tutorial but we would kick things off with Animation.
Animations bring the objects or elements within your slide to life. If you want to animate text, an image, shape, graph or chart, this is the type of animation you select. in Simpler term Animation affects only what is within the slide(s).

You first to have to click on the object you want to animate, then click on the Animations tab.

The default view shows 8 animations, but if you click on the drop-down highlighted above, then you’ll see many more options like you see here:.

You can choose from the following types of animations:

Entrance animations: The icons for this type of animation are colored green. If you use this type of animation for an object, that object will enter the slide according to your timing preferences.

Exit animations: The icons for this type of animation are colored red. The object you’ve added this animation to will exit the slide.

Emphasis animations: The icons for this kind of animation are colored yellow. The object won’t enter or exit the slide (unless you’ve added that particular animation to the same object) but will emphasize and draw attention to that object.

Motion path animations: This type of animation will allow you to move an object from one spot to another. You can specify or draw the path you want the object to take.
