There are usually two ways to achieve animation effects: displaying objects in a certain order or using moving pictures.
You can apply animation effects to an entire slide, picture or slide object (including text boxes, charts, wordart and pictures).
However, you should remember one principle, that is, the animation effect should not be used too much, and it should play the role of finishing touch; Too many flashing lights and moving pictures will distract the audience and even make them feel annoyed.
Animate the text and show it step by step, which is beneficial to the speech.
In order to make the printed handout clearly visible, it is recommended not to use animation overlay effect.
Add an animation effect If you want to use an animation effect on one or more slides, select Slide Show Animation Scheme from the menu.
You can see a series of predefined animation effects that can be applied to the selected slides. If you select the Auto Preview check box, just click on the name of each effect to see the preview animation effect.
If you want to apply an animation effect to a slide object, select the object, and then select Custom Animation for Slide Show from the menu.
Click the Add Effect button in the task pane of Custom Animation, and then select the desired effect in the pop-up Enter submenu.
Check the preview effect check box, and then click on various effects to see their specific manifestations.
If you find the desired effect, click OK to close the dialog box.
Repeat these steps until all the slide objects to be animated get satisfactory animation effect.
When you do this, you will find a few more digital markers next to the slide objects to indicate the order of animation.
In addition, these slide objects will appear in the Animation list in the Custom Animation task pane.
If you want to change the display order of animations, select an animation and click the directional arrows on both sides of "Reorder"; You can also select an animation in the list and press the Delete button to delete it.
The animation design function view on the task pane makes it easy to add animation to PowerPoint slides.
Click View → Task Pane, and the Slide Design task pane will appear on the right side of the screen. Click the arrow in the upper right corner of the task pane and select Slide Design → Animation Scheme to see various animation schemes in the following list.
To apply or preview the preset scheme in PowerPoint on the current slide, just click the scheme in the list; If you want to use this design in all slides, click the "Apply to All Slides" button at the bottom of the task panel; If you want to use this design in multiple slides, but not all slides, click the Slides tab at the left end of the PowerPoint window, hold down the Ctrl key and use the mouse to select a slide with a certain design, and then select an animation scheme from the task pane.
Customize the animation path of an object PowerPoint also provides a wonderful animation function, which allows you to specify a moving path for an object in the slide, which is called "action path" in PowerPoint.
Using "action path" can add very interesting effects to your presentation.
For example, you can make a slide object jump and guide the audience's eyes to the important points to be highlighted.
In order to facilitate your design, PowerPoint contains a large number of predefined action paths.
If you want to specify an action path, select an object, and then select Custom Animation for Slide Show from the menu.
Click the Add Effect button in the Custom Animation task pane.
Select Action Path from the drop-down list, and then select a predefined action path, such as Right Upper Diagonal or Right Lower Diagonal.
Make sure that the Preview Effect check box is selected, and then click a different path effect to preview it.
When you find a satisfactory solution, select it and press the OK button.
PowerPoint also allows you to design your own action path.
Select an object, select Add Effect, Action Path and Draw Custom Path from the menu, and then select a drawing method (such as freeform curve) from the list.
Then use the mouse to accurately draw the moving route.
After adding an action path, a digital marker will also appear next to the object to show its animation order.
An arrow will also appear, indicating the starting point and ending point of the action path (represented by green and red respectively).
You can also select an object in the animation list and adjust the options in the Start, Path, and Speed submenus (in the Custom Animation task pane).
Let the words keep flashing. In PowerPoint, you can use "custom animation" to make flashing text, but no matter whether you choose "slow", "medium" or "fast", the text will flash, so it is impossible to make the text flash continuously.
In fact, in this case, we only need to follow the following steps to achieve continuous flashing: 1) Create a text box and set the format and effect of the text to make it a flash animation effect; 2) Click the text box, and then click the "Copy" command under the "Edit" menu. At the same time, determine the number of pasted text boxes according to the time you want to blink in the manuscript, and then set the positions of these boxes accordingly; 3) Finally, set these text boxes to play one second after the previous event, and the text boxes can be hidden after the animation is played.
The animation effect of this kind of text is very interesting: when playing, the characters fall obliquely from above, and after falling, each character has to bounce up and down several times to be quiet. This effect is very suitable for the topic.
The specific implementation method is as follows: 1) Enter text in the text box.
The font size of the text should be larger, and it is best to choose a font with thicker strokes (such as "China Amber" font); 2) The following operation steps are the same as the steps to realize the subtitle animation effect (finally, just select the "wave" effect in the "gorgeous" column).
Film subtitle effect The previous version of PowerPoint2002 did not provide film subtitle effect (the text kept flowing from bottom to top), but it was easy to achieve this effect in PowerPoint2002.
The specific implementation method is as follows: 1) Add a text box to a blank slide.
The text box is centered in the slide, and its width is slightly smaller than the slide.
The upper border of the text box is in the upper half of the slide (about two thirds of the position), and the lower border can be much lower than the slide border as needed; 2) Enter the text in the text box.
Now select the text box, click the "Add Effect" drop-down button in the right pane, select "Enter → Other Effects" in the pop-up menu, select "Subtitle" in the "Gorgeous Type" column (figure 14), and finally click "OK".
When the text in the text box uses subtitle animation effect, it is best to add an appropriate background effect to the slide.
Making two pictures move at the same time PowerPoint animation effect is more interesting and there are many options, but limited by the animation order, the inserted pictures can only be moved one by one.
If you have two pictures that need to be moved to the middle at the same time, you can solve the problem by arranging the final positions of the two pictures, holding down the Shift key, selecting the two pictures, and then right-clicking them, and selecting the command "Combine → Combine" in the shortcut menu that pops up to make the two pictures into an object, and then adding corresponding effects to the "Animation Effect".
Get the Blinking Effect Adding animation in PowerPoint2002 can make the presentation look more professional and the operation is very simple and interesting.
In normal view, display the slide with the text or object to be animated, select the object to be animated, click Custom Animation on the Slide Show menu, click Add Effect in the Custom Animation task pane, and then do one or more of the following: If you want the text or object to enter the slide presentation through an effect, point to Enter and click an effect.
If you want to add an effect to text or objects in the slide, point to Emphasis, and then click an effect.
If you want to add an effect to text or an object so that it leaves the slide, point to Exit, and then click an effect.
The first action is executed synchronously. There are usually multiple objects on each slide. If you define the "custom animation" effect, when you enter the page, the empty background is displayed first, which is obviously not what we need.
It should be improved as follows: open the "custom animation" setting window, select the "sequence and time" tab, and select the "automatic start after the previous event" item.
Synchronize the appearance and description of words. In order to make the words appear with the narration, you can use "custom action" to erase them to the right in the form of letters.
But if it is a long paragraph of text, the speed of text is still too fast.
At this time, the text can be divided into lines of text blocks, even a few words in a text block, and then the animation form of the text in each text block is set to be erased to the right in alphabetical order, and the interval from the previous action is set to 1 ~ 3 seconds in the time item, so that the appearance speed of the text can be consistent with the narration.
