WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:07.430 --> 00:00:14.070 With just a few clicks you can add interesting transition effects to the slides in your presentation. 00:00:14.070 --> 00:00:19.590 Transition effects, or transitions as they are often called, are the movements you see 00:00:19.590 --> 00:00:25.340 when one slide changes to another in Slide Show view. 00:00:25.340 --> 00:00:29.480 You may be wondering how transitions are different than animations. 00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:36.480 Although, the slides are animated as you move from one slide to another, the term animation 00:00:37.370 --> 00:00:43.899 in PowerPoint, refers to the movements of text and objects on the slide, while transitions 00:00:43.899 --> 00:00:49.370 refers to the movement of the slide as it changes to another slide. 00:00:49.370 --> 00:00:53.010 Let's go ahead and take a look at the available slide transitions. 00:00:53.010 --> 00:00:59.920 To view these, select the Animations tab on the Ribbon. 00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:06.820 In the Transition to this Slide group you can see icons of several transitions. 00:01:06.820 --> 00:01:13.119 Right now there is No Transition applied to the slide, so that option is selected. 00:01:13.119 --> 00:01:19.500 As we hover over an icon, we'll see a live preview of the transition on the slide. 00:01:19.500 --> 00:01:26.500 You can scroll through the list one row at a time or click the drop-down arrow to see 00:01:27.700 --> 00:01:33.650 the complete list of transitions available. You can see we have some fade and dissolve 00:01:33.650 --> 00:01:40.650 options, and many different Wipe options. If we scroll down we can see some other transitions 00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:48.400 such as Push and Cover, Stripes and Bars, and Random. 00:01:48.420 --> 00:01:55.420 Some of these are simple, while some others are definitely more noticeable. 00:01:55.630 --> 00:02:01.590 Right now we are in Normal View. On the Slides tab in the task pane on the 00:02:01.590 --> 00:02:08.590 left I can see that slides 1, 2, 3 and 6 have animated text or objects on the slide. 00:02:10.049 --> 00:02:17.049 I know this because all slides with animation have a little star Play Animations icon that 00:02:17.069 --> 00:02:24.069 plays animations and transitions. If I click the star the animation on the slide 00:02:25.590 --> 00:02:30.400 will play, but no transition since I haven't applied one yet. 00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:37.400 Let's go ahead and add a transition. If you'd prefer to work in Slide Sorter view 00:02:39.079 --> 00:02:43.790 you can, but I personally prefer to stay in Normal view. 00:02:43.790 --> 00:02:50.150 To apply a slide transition to all slides, just select a slide and then select the Animations 00:02:50.150 --> 00:02:54.889 tab. Click the transition you want to apply and 00:02:54.889 --> 00:03:01.069 now that slide has the transition applied. Right now you can't see that anything has 00:03:01.069 --> 00:03:08.069 changed because this slide already had animation but click the star animation icon and you 00:03:08.959 --> 00:03:13.739 will see how your slide will appear in your presentation. 00:03:13.739 --> 00:03:19.919 You can see the Dissolve transition and then any animation you set previously. 00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:24.989 To apply this transition to all slides, click Apply to All. 00:03:24.989 --> 00:03:31.379 Now I can click each star Play Animations icon and see that the Dissolve transition 00:03:31.379 --> 00:03:37.949 has been applied to all the slides. Also, the icon appeared beneath the other 00:03:37.949 --> 00:03:43.989 slides that didn't already have animation. If we look at our slides in Slide Sorter view, 00:03:43.989 --> 00:03:49.339 we can see the star Play Animations icon beneath each slide. 00:03:49.339 --> 00:03:56.269 You can also set the slide transition speed. The default speed for Dissolve is Fast. 00:03:56.269 --> 00:04:03.269 To change this, just select an option from the Transition Speed drop-down menu. 00:04:03.389 --> 00:04:10.389 I'll select Slow so you can see the difference. The new speed is only applied to the selected 00:04:10.849 --> 00:04:17.849 slide, but you can click Apply to All. You can set the speed when you apply a transition, 00:04:18.570 --> 00:04:23.090 or you can do it afterwards, like we just did. 00:04:23.090 --> 00:04:29.729 So, right now each slide has the Dissolve transition at a slow speed. 00:04:29.729 --> 00:04:36.729 To change the transition and transition speed for all slides, just select a slide, click 00:04:38.060 --> 00:04:48.060 a transition, change the transition speed if you wish and then click Apply to All. 00:04:48.270 --> 00:04:55.270 Now, all the slides have the Fade Smoothly Transition at a slow speed. 00:04:56.080 --> 00:05:00.870 Sometimes you may want to apply a different transition to a specific slide. 00:05:00.870 --> 00:05:07.870 For example, on slide 4, I want to use a different transition that will help draw attention to 00:05:07.960 --> 00:05:14.199 our chart data. To do this, just select a slide, click the 00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:20.060 transition you want to apply, and change the default speed, if you wish. 00:05:20.060 --> 00:05:30.060 Here...I like this wipe transition. On slide 6 I might like to apply the Wipe 00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:34.650 Down transition. You can apply a different transition on each 00:05:34.650 --> 00:05:41.650 slide, if you wish, but be careful - you could end up with a presentation like this. 00:05:44.860 --> 00:05:49.930 I think I'll just leave my transitions like they are right now. 00:05:49.930 --> 00:05:56.930 You do have one more important transition option and that is transition sound. 00:05:57.289 --> 00:06:04.289 If you click the Transition Sound drop-down menu you will see a long list of options. 00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:10.610 Each of these sounds can be applied to one or more of your slide transitions. 00:06:10.610 --> 00:06:17.120 To add a transition sound to a slide, just select the slide and click the Transition 00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:22.990 Sound drop-down menu. Right now, there is no sound applied to the 00:06:22.990 --> 00:06:29.990 transition, but you have many options such as applause, a camera, a laser, and more. 00:06:36.449 --> 00:06:43.090 Let's see, it might be kind of funny to add the sound of a cash register to slide 6, so 00:06:43.090 --> 00:06:50.090 I'll select Cash Register from the menu. Now, if I select slide 5, and click Slide 00:06:52.569 --> 00:06:59.569 Show view, I can see how this transition sound will appear in my presentation. 00:07:02.490 --> 00:07:09.490 If I want to apply the sound to all the transitions, I can click Apply to All. 00:07:11.469 --> 00:07:16.740 It's a funny sound, but I don't think it is very professional in this instance. 00:07:16.740 --> 00:07:21.740 While I think sound can be effective in presentations, you'll want to use it carefully. 00:07:21.740 --> 00:07:25.800 I'm just going to choose No Sound from the menu. 00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:30.110 If you decide you want to remove some of the slide transitions from your presentation, 00:07:30.110 --> 00:07:35.189 just select the slide with the transition you want to remove. 00:07:35.189 --> 00:07:42.189 Select the Animations tab and click No Transition. Repeat this process for each slide that you 00:07:42.789 --> 00:07:48.349 want to modify. If you want to remove all the slide transitions 00:07:48.349 --> 00:07:55.349 just repeat the same steps and then click Apply to All. 00:07:55.860 --> 00:08:00.080 You also have some decisions to make about how you will advance to the next slide in 00:08:00.080 --> 00:08:07.080 your presentation. In the Transition to this Slide group on the 00:08:07.580 --> 00:08:14.059 Animations tab you'll see a section of the group that deals with how to Advance the Slide. 00:08:14.059 --> 00:08:20.189 By default, On Mouse Click is selected. This means that to advance, or move to, the 00:08:20.189 --> 00:08:25.289 next slide you will have to click the mouse, or press a key on the keyboard to display 00:08:25.289 --> 00:08:29.439 the next slide. Let's take a look at this in Slide Sorter 00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:36.439 view. If you know how much time you will need on 00:08:37.050 --> 00:08:43.979 each slide, you can enter that here directly into the field or by using the arrows. 00:08:43.979 --> 00:08:50.779 PowerPoint will use this information and advance to the next slide after the amount of time 00:08:50.779 --> 00:08:54.699 you enter. I really caution people about using this during 00:08:54.699 --> 00:09:01.550 a live presentation unless you have really rehearsed. 00:09:01.550 --> 00:09:08.050 Now that we've discussed transition effects, sounds, speed, as well as how to advance to 00:09:08.050 --> 00:09:13.860 the next slide, spend some time applying transitions to your PowerPoint presentation to see what 00:09:13.860 --> 00:09:15.940 a difference a transition can make!
