00:00:11.469 --> 00:00:13.660
If you really want to add some excitement
to your

00:00:13.660 --> 00:00:16.750
presentation, try adding some animations.

00:00:16.750 --> 00:00:19.730
PowerPoint has a wide variety of animation
effects

00:00:19.730 --> 00:00:23.070
that you can apply to text and objects.

00:00:23.070 --> 00:00:26.410
I'm creating a trivia night slide show,

00:00:26.410 --> 00:00:30.900
and each trivia question will have the answer
on the following slide.

00:00:30.900 --> 00:00:33.930
And I want to add animations to this picture
and

00:00:33.930 --> 00:00:36.490
to the answer itself.

00:00:36.490 --> 00:00:39.400
Start by clicking on an object, and then go
to the

00:00:39.400 --> 00:00:40.760
Animations tab.

00:00:40.760 --> 00:00:47.519
And in the Animation group, you can view the
different types of effects that are available.

00:00:47.519 --> 00:00:49.890
There are four different categories:

00:00:49.890 --> 00:00:54.140
Entrance, which will happen when the object
first appears on the slide,

00:00:54.140 --> 00:00:57.860
Emphasis, which happens while the
object is on the slide,

00:00:57.860 --> 00:01:01.830
Exit, which causes the object to disappear,

00:01:01.830 --> 00:01:06.240
and Motion Paths, which move the object
along a path.

00:01:06.240 --> 00:01:09.500
I'm going to choose Float In, which is an
Entrance

00:01:09.500 --> 00:01:11.320
effect.

00:01:11.320 --> 00:01:14.180
For some effects, you will have Effect Options.

00:01:14.180 --> 00:01:20.280
For example, this one lets you choose a direction.

00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:23.080
Now let's say I want to add second effect
to this

00:01:23.080 --> 00:01:24.560
picture.

00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:27.491
If I go back to this menu and select one,
it's

00:01:27.491 --> 00:01:30.390
going to replace the Entrance effect.

00:01:30.390 --> 00:01:33.491
Instead, I'll need to go to Add Animation
to add

00:01:33.491 --> 00:01:41.020
more than one.

00:01:41.020 --> 00:01:44.250
It's easy to keep track of which objects have
animations,

00:01:44.250 --> 00:01:48.580
because they will have numbers next to
them - one for each effect.

00:01:48.580 --> 00:01:52.880
And the slide will also have this little star
picture.

00:01:52.880 --> 00:01:55.420
If you want to preview the effects, you can
just

00:01:55.420 --> 00:02:00.260
click the Preview command.

00:02:00.260 --> 00:02:02.490
And I like these effects, so I want to apply
the

00:02:02.490 --> 00:02:05.060
same ones to this text.

00:02:05.060 --> 00:02:07.560
Instead of adding them one-by-one, I can just
use

00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:10.759
the Animation Painter to copy them.

00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:14.170
Click on the object that has the effects.

00:02:14.170 --> 00:02:17.150
Then click Animation Painter, and the cursor
will

00:02:17.150 --> 00:02:20.090
have a little paintbrush on it.

00:02:20.090 --> 00:02:22.120
And when you click on the other object, it
will

00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:26.590
now have the same effects.

00:02:26.590 --> 00:02:29.050
We have four effects on this slide,

00:02:29.050 --> 00:02:34.580
so now would be a good time to open up the
Animation Pane to help us manage them.

00:02:34.580 --> 00:02:39.810
It will appear on the right side of the screen,
and it lets you do a couple of things:

00:02:39.810 --> 00:02:41.790
You can click and drag the effects if you
want to

00:02:41.790 --> 00:02:44.510
reorder them,

00:02:44.510 --> 00:02:50.020
and you can also click the drop-down
arrow to see more options for each effect.

00:02:50.020 --> 00:02:53.620
By default, each effect starts
when you click the mouse,

00:02:53.620 --> 00:02:56.950
but I don't want to have to click for every
single one.

00:02:56.950 --> 00:03:00.140
Instead, we can have the effect
start automatically

00:03:00.140 --> 00:03:02.620
at the same time as the previous
effect,

00:03:02.620 --> 00:03:05.230
or after the previous effect ends.

00:03:05.230 --> 00:03:07.310
And that's what I want.

00:03:07.310 --> 00:03:10.970
And I'm going to do the same thing for the
Text

00:03:10.970 --> 00:03:13.030
Box Entrance effect.

00:03:13.030 --> 00:03:19.670
This just makes the animations flow more smoothly,
since they're being triggered automatically.

00:03:19.670 --> 00:03:22.260
If you click the drop-down arrow again and
go to

00:03:22.260 --> 00:03:24.000
Effect Options,

00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:28.280
you'll have a dialog box where you
can fine-tune the animation.

00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:31.620
And these options will vary depending on which
effect it is.

00:03:31.620 --> 00:03:35.380
And you can also adjust the timing.

00:03:35.380 --> 00:03:37.510
I'm going to add a few seconds of delay to
give

00:03:37.510 --> 00:03:38.620
people a little more time

00:03:38.620 --> 00:03:42.230
to think of the answer before it appears.

00:03:42.230 --> 00:03:46.370
Now, I will to play the slide show so I can
view

00:03:46.370 --> 00:03:50.940
the finished product.

00:03:50.940 --> 00:03:54.280
I'll click the mouse to trigger the first
effect.

00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:56.260
And then after three seconds it will trigger
the

00:03:56.260 --> 00:04:00.230
next effect, and then the next one.

00:04:00.230 --> 00:04:01.940
And the answer will stay on the screen until
I

00:04:01.940 --> 00:04:04.700
click the mouse again.

00:04:04.700 --> 00:04:06.830
Perfect!

00:04:06.830 --> 00:04:09.690
So adding a few animations can turn a simple
slide

00:04:09.690 --> 00:04:10.769
show into a

00:04:10.769 --> 00:04:36.410
presentation that's engaging and fun
for your audience to watch.
