Exit effects allow objects to leave the Slide Show with animations. Motion Paths allow objects to move around the Slide Show. Each effect contains variables such as start On click, With previous, After previous , delay, speed, repeat and trigger.
This makes animations more flexible and interactive, similar to Adobe Flash. This feature allows animators to apply effects that can be triggered when a specific object on the Slide Show is clicked. In many middle school and early high school classes, students learn how to use the Microsoft Office PowerPoint program.
Students generally learn how to create slides with simple custom animations for reports. Other techniques such as hyperlinks and Animation Trigger are used for the next level of animation. A hyperlink can be used within the PowerPoint document to link two pages to a highlighted object or to a website page.
Using hyperlink and Animation Trigger, one can create games such as to Jeopardy, using the tools to maneuver from question to answer. Taking this same principle, the animator can also make less complex games similar to a dungeon game and Escape the room. In this format, the animator can create a domain where the player chooses to go right or left, or pick up objects, and so forth. The process takes time to create, but is generally cheaper and easier than using a professional gaming program.
With the help of VBA, animations can be programmed with more flexibility. Changing resolutions from to 72 dpi ensures a big drop in file size, without compromising onscreen quality. PowerPoint provides a quick way to create presentation and web photo albums.
Inserting a Photo Album component allows you to select multiple pictures from disk, scanner or a digital camera. Specific control is provided for sizing, layout, and captions accompanying these pictures. The pictures themselves can be adjusted for brightness and contrast, as also rotated within the Photo Album interface. The new Clip Organizer replaces the old Clip Gallery, although both can exist and function concurrently.
This is significant since Clip Organizer is not backward compatible with Clip Gallery, nor can it import your old Clip Gallery catalogs! On its part, the new Clip Organizer functions as you would expect it to—adding a few niceties like better web integration, shared catalogs, etc.
Also, the Clip Organizer functions in a task pane in PowerPoint - so that you can view the slide and the clip previews at the same time. Inserting clips is through drag-and-drop.
Diagrams are not new to PowerPoint XP, although their scope is magnified manifold now. In the last version, Organization Charts were inserted through an outdated OLE component, causing more crashes than charts. PowerPoint XP's diagram arsenal supplements organization charts with cycle, radial, pyramid, target and Venn diagrams. All diagrams have a soft, understated look—individual components of such diagrams have full access to PowerPoint's excellent fill and line elements.
What's more, all these diagrams can be exported in popular raster and vector formats for use in other applications. Diagrams can be animated by levels, similar to the way charts were animated by series in previous PowerPoint versions.
Every vector illustration, picture, diagram, even every WordArt component and chart can be saved as a separate picture on disk in a choice of seven export formats. However, don't expect miracles—in a trial, pictures with transparency were exported with black backgrounds, and rotated elements were saved with a sizeable grey background. Yet, it still is a breakthrough.
The best deal may be the ability to export your diagrams and charts for usage on a web site or touch up in an image editing application. As you gain more experience, you will learn how to mix and match effects to get the results you want for a particular audience.
In this chapter, you will apply predefined animations to the title, bullet points, and a picture on a slide, see how to change some of the animation settings, and then change the way slides move on and off the screen during a slide show. You will insert a sound clip and a sound file and make various adjustments to their settings. Finally, you will insert a movie file, preview the movie, and modify its behavior.

With all the options available for creating engaging and lively presentations in PowerPoint , you no longer have to settle for static presentations, especially if you are delivering the presentation from a computer. By applying various types of animations to the text and graphics on your slides, you can keep your audience focused and reinforce the message of your presentation.

In the case of bullet points, you can specify whether they should be animated as a set or one by one. To help you decide which effect to use, you can point to each in turn to see a live preview. If you would rather create your own animation scheme , you can select the text or object you want to animate and click the Custom Animation button in the Animations group to display the Custom Animation task pane.
In this task pane, you can quickly apply the following types of effects:. You can increase or decrease the importance of the element by changing its font, size, or style; by making it grow or shrink; or by making it spin.
Motion Path. You can move the element around on the slide in various ways, such as diagonally to the upper-right corner or in a circular motion. If none of the lists of predefined effects meets your needs, you can click More Effects at the bottom of each list to display galleries of professionally designed animations in four categories: Basic, Subtle, Moderate, and Exciting.
Follow these steps to animate a shape in PowerPoint for Windows. These techniques also work in PowerPoint and for Windows:. Now that you have added an animation to a slide object, you can control more animation properties like event and speed. You get 8 shape types plus lines as part of this Organic Shapes collection. Each of these 8 shape types have 10 variants. So you end up with 80 hand-drawn shape options!
