How To Download Powerpoint Animation Effects Free

[Danny Hosford]

You can have two or more animation effects occur at the same time for one object. For example, a picture could fade in and float in. To accomplish this layering of two (or more) effects at once, do as follows:

Many of the animation effects available in the PowerPoint desktop application are also available in PowerPoint for the web. Also, PowerPoint for the web can play animation effects that were applied in the PowerPoint desktop application.

Effects can make an object appear, disappear, or move. They can change an object's size or color. Effects can respond to mouse clicks or other actions, giving an interactive feel to your presentation.

Each animation effect is represented on the slide by a number next to the object, which indicates the order that it will play in. If two animation effects are set to play at the same time, they are represented by a numbered stack .

To display a blank chart at the beginning of the animation, with the animation effect selected in the Animation Pane, under Chart Animations, select the Start animation by drawing the chart background check box.

Transitions are a type of PPT animation between slides. You can view the Transitions menu to view all possible transition effects you can use. These are ideal when you want to have a noticeable shift between two slides.

For example, announcing a new product line may be the most exciting part of your presentation. In this context, it makes sense to highlight this by adding a Build In animation for example.

In the Animation Pane, you can view all the animations on your slide in a clear, concise list format. To reorder the animations, simply click and drag them up or down the list to your new desired location. In moments, PowerPoint transforms your animation sequence.

Animations in PowerPoint help you call attention to changes and items of note on your slide. Consider the example of PowerPoint animations below. Notice how the result in Q3 was much higher. Imagine that a year ago, that quarter was actually the worst quarter.

Reviewing your presentation as a whole is a final, yet essential check step. It helps you ensure that your PowerPoint animation effects are working exactly right. And it lets you make any edits you need to before an audience encounters issues.

By now, it should be easy to make a whole chart appear using an animation. But the true capacity of using animations with data is to pace how the chart is presented. We can do this by choosing the build order of our animation.

To use the Animation Painter, start by selecting the object with the animation you want to copy. Then, go to the Animations tab and click on the Animation Painter button. The cursor changes to a paintbrush icon.

Here, an animation such as Curtains, Crush or Honeycomb would be more suitable. Try to use this only once or twice in a presentation, as these animations tend to be visually heavy.

Some effects will have options you can change. For example, with the Fly In effect you can control which direction the object comes from. These options can be accessed from the Effect Options command in the Animation group.

In some cases, you may want to apply the same effects to more than one object. You can do this by copying the effects from one object to another using the Animation Painter. In our example, we want to copy an animation from one slide to another because they have similar layouts.

Any animation effects you have applied will show up when you play the slide show. However, you can also quickly preview the animations for the current slide without viewing the slide show.

The Animation Pane allows you to view and manage all of the effects that are on the current slide. You can modify and reorder effects directly from the Animation Pane, which is especially useful when you have several effects.

By default, an effect starts playing when you click the mouse during a slide show. If you have multiple effects, you will need to click multiple times to start each effect individually. However, by changing the start option for each effect, you can have effects that automatically play at the same time or one after the other.

I have recorded a presentation with lovely animations, but when I play it back, the animations haven't happened 'on the click' as I had intended. Instead the presentation just plays with the full page with all pictures/icons on screen right from the start.

Hi Peter - yes, not within an actual Teams meeting - just me talking through the slide deck, recording it, and then hoping that I would have a training session ready to post (with the carefully prepared animations and sound though!).

I held a training session with 45+ people in attendance. I walked the participants through a PowerPoint presentation with animations. Nothing fancy here, just text boxes, arrows, and pictures that popped up and then hid on next mouse click. I've confirmed with the participants that they saw the animations as I intended during the live presentation. However, the recording does not show animations and instead only shows the full slide, which without animations is impossible to read and understand. In addition to Teams not recording as I actually presented, it doesn't show any of the chat history from the recording either.

Are there settings that I am not aware of within Teams to address this issue? I am upset because this was a very big training event with intentions of all new hires watching this recorded training, but as it's recorded now it won't be usable.

@CalebBadley I just experienced the same thing. Used the new PowerPoint Live feature for multiple live Teams webinar sessions and recorded the sessions for staff who were unable to attend, only to find that slides with animations were not captured as displayed, but as the whole mess all at once, like the slides look when not in presentation mode.

Just to at least assure you that you are not alone. My presentation looks very flat without the animations which I played to the audience! Can someone help us please as this must be a regular expectation, that our recordings reflect the live session.

@PeteHeibel After pondering this, it seems that the way the slides are sharing is a different mechanism than the old way, which was just sharing your screen or window. The name "PowerPoint Live" is probably the cue that it works for live presentations, but is not suitable for recording the sessions for later viewing. Not sure that it is really a bug that can be fixed. I think it is a limitation for the tool and we just need to choose how we are going to share a slideshow based on if it is live only or if it must be recorded. I feel like they should have explicitly stated this, but I suppose the "live" part of the name is supposed to imply that. Lesson learned. It is a nice feature for live only.

Thanks for replying. That's an interesting point you make. I suppose I assumed it was just a smoother, cleaner way to share a PowerPoint presentation allowing multiple presenters to share with ease and to host the window within Teams rather than trying to figure out which window to share. Perhaps it is intended for another purpose, but as you point out, it is not very clear if that is the case.

Thank you for the key to my problem about my animations not happening on recording. Please can you tell me how to ensure I do the recording on 'presenter view' so that my animations all happen. Teams always pops up now as 'PP live' - how to alter that?

@Janet1912 Hi. I had this same issue. Instead of using the 'PowerPoint Live' presenter mode. I instead chose 'share window' and selected the open PowerPoint presentation, you can still do presenter mode etc.

I had the same problem, but I managed to record a presentation with the transitions effects to be seen when played back. I did not use the PowerPointLive option in the sharing option, but shared my screen instead, having the slides in the background open, I maximised PowerPoint and started the presentation.

Really grateful for that, and it's good to know I'm not alone. Have just tried your suggestion, and yes, using the Desktop, the animations are buzzing beautifully on the recording. So tempting though to record a podcast on the PowerPoint Live - don't!

Had to do a complex technical training so spent days preparing slides that I could step through and incrementally introduce concepts to build off one another, all the while pointing to the concepts I was discussing with the cursor. The people in the meeting could see all this but the recording couldn't so the video is next to useless as a reference they can come back to now. VERY ANNOYING

Feedback portal is also where you'll hear feedback from Microsoft. When I last spoke with the PPT Live product teams they were well aware of all these issue, so probably just need our help to prioritise the work to develop it.

I have applied Soft Edges and Sketched Line effects to the triangle and set the circle to No Line. After some experimentation, I set the animation is Grow/Shrink 20% with Auto Reverse, Repeated 9 times over the 2.5 sec duration.
