Question

Difference between slide transition and custom animation

Answer 1

The slide transitions are the effects that are applied to the complete slide whereas the custom animation effects are the one that are applied for a particular object like text, picture or shape.

In slide transitions, the changes can be observed on the screen when the slides are changed and the custom animations can be done for each slide.

Answer 2

Slide transitions are the animation effects that are applied to whole slide whereas animation effects are applied to objects (text, shape, picture etc.) on a slide. For a slide you can have only one transition effect while each object on the slide can have multiple animation effects.

Transition effects appear in PowerPoint slideshow view when slides change from one to the next. Like animation effects we can control the speed of each slide transition effect, and we can also add music or sound
