Transitions
• A slide transition is a visual effect that occurs when moving from one (1) slide to the next during a
presentation.
• The Transitions tab allows you to set the transition’s speed, effect, timing, and sound.

Figure 1. Transition settings

• By default, slides advance by pressing the space bar or the Enter key or by clicking the mouse.
Advance Slide sets the transition timing by specifying how long a slide stays in view before the
transition to the next slide begins.
• Some of the transition effects are the following:
o Morph – Objects on the previous slides move to their new locations on the current slide.
o Wipe – The previous slide disappears quickly as the current slide rolls over it.
o Split – The previous slide divides at a certain point and disappears, revealing the current slide.
o Reveal – The previous slide slowly moves forward and disappears, and then the current slide
slowly drops into view.
o Cut – The previous slide disappears almost instantly and the current slide pops into view.

Animation
• Animation is used to manipulate objects, images, and text.
• Some of the animation effects are as follows:
o Split – Object becomes whole as its halves unite from a specified direction.
o Wheel – Object rotates around a central hub and gradually comes into view.
o Grow & Turn – Object spins forward into view from a distance.
o Desaturate – Object color becomes less vibrant.
o Motion Path – Object moves along a specified path such as lines and curves.

Figure 2. Animation settings

• Animation can start in different ways:
o On Click – starts an animation when a slide is clicked.
o With Previous – plays an animation at the same time as the previous animation in the sequence.
o After Previous – starts an animation immediately after the previous one happens.
o Duration – lengthens or shortens an animation effect.
o Delay – adds time before an effect runs.
• Animation Pane is used to view and edit the timeline of animations.
• Trigger sets a special condition for the animation.
• Animation Painter is used to duplicate and apply an object’s effects to other objects.
