UNDERSTANDING ANIMATION
You can use animation to effectively manage the
flow of information in your presentation,
emphasise key points and to increase
participants’ interest in your presentation. There
are four types of animation effects in PowerPoint –
entrance, emphasis, exit and motion paths. These
reflect the point at which you want the animation to
occur.
Entrance Entrance effects control the way objects appear on your slide. For example, you may
have individual lines of text fly in from the side of the slide, or have the slide titles
gradually fading in as the slides display.
Emphasis Emphasis effects control how the audience’s eye is drawn to the animated object. For
example, you may make an image pulse or spin or have a line of text move in a wave
shape.
Exit Exit effects determine how the animated objects will leave the slide. For example, an
image may bounce or shrink and turn off a slide.
Motion Paths Motion paths control the movement of your text or objects around the slide. For example,
you could make objects move up and down, move in a specific shape or even create
your own custom path for an object to follow.
If you can’t find the required animation effect in the Animations gallery, you can display the entire
collection of each type of effect (such as entrance or exit) by selecting an option at the bottom of the
gallery to open the Change Effects dialog box (see the example above to the right). Here, the animation
effects are grouped according to the impact of the effect – Basic, Subtle, Moderate and Exciting – and
for motion paths Basic, Lines & Curves and Special.
