ANIMATION

AND
HYPERLINK
 ANIMATIO
N
PowerPoint animation is a form of
animation which uses Microsoft PowerPoint
and similar programs to create a game or
movie. The artwork is generally created
using PowerPoint's AutoShape features,
and then animated slide-by-slide or by
using Custom Animation.

PowerPoint – choose from Entrance, Exit,
Emphasis and Motion Paths animations)

different types of animations to your slides.

How To Add Animations to PowerPoint In 2 Simple Steps

To add entrance animations to any object in PowerPoint,

here’s what you need to do:
1. Click on the object you want to
animate. In this example, we will use a
blue smiley face.
 2. Select the animation you want to use. For this example, we
used the entrance animation – fade animation. We set the
duration to 2.75 seconds. You will notice in the screenshot
below that the fade animation has no effect options (the button
is greyed out).

animation in PowerPoint)
 Guidelines:
•Simplicity is key. Simple animations like fade and
appear may not be as impressive as other animations
available, but these add a touch of elegance to well-
timed slides. It makes your slides look clean and
simple.

•Limit the number of animations on a slide. One or two

animations per slide should suffice. There’s really no
need to animate every single object on each slide.
 Guidelines:
•Time your presentation well. Make sure
your objects appear right after you
introduce it. This keeps your audience’s
interest piqued.
•Don’t forget to practice. Practicing your
timings and your animations are key to a
successful presentation.
• Hyperlinks in PowerPoint are similar to
links you might have seen on a web site.
They allow you to jump back and forth
between specific slides in your
presentation, to movie files that don't work
on PowerPoint slides, to other files, or to a
webpage (if you are connected to the
Internet).
