Animation in PowerPoint 2010 2013 2016 animation tutorial for beginners

okay today we're going to talk about how to uh perform animation in PowerPoint 2010 now with animation we can uh make objects on the screen move around and do different things so anything on the screen can be animated if you can click on it uh text clip art pictures any kind of object any kind of shape can be animated in the ways that I'm about to show you so let's say in this case uh let's say the spaceship finds a gas station in space and they want to pull to the gas station fuel up and then fly away so notice how I have the gas station and I have the spaceship already on the slide so I'm going to click on the spaceship now in PowerPoint 2010 uh you're going to pick the animations menu now what I like to do is I like to turn on something that's called the animation Paine uh it it just makes it more like it used to be and I think it's easier to work with so I'm going to pick on the animation pain which is going to be over here on the side uh so you're going to click on that picture and then you're going to pick on ADD animation over here now there's four different styles of Animation one is called entrance which means how is it going to come into the slide one is called emphasis which means once it's on the slide you know we can make it do different things uh one is called an exit which is which means how is it going to leave the slide and then one is called motion path which is moving the object around the slide so now you have some choices here and then if you want even more choices you're going to scroll down and then you see where it says more interest effects more emphasis effects more exit effects and more motion passs so I want to go with more interest uh effects I like this screen because you can uh click on them and it's going to show you what's going to happen see how the spaceship just kind of came in like that uh now there's different categories here there's basic uh subtle moderate and even exciting so if you just pick on one of these it's going to show you what it looks like so in this case I'm going to pick the one that's called Curve up and you can see how the spaceship is kind of going to go right up to the uh fuel station and I'm going to click on okay now if you want that animation to appear uh automatically then here's what you're going to do notice how it listed over here on the side on the animation pain I'm going to right click on that I'm going to pick on either effect options or timing let's go with effect options here you can even add sound to that so I'm going to kind of uh let's say we'll use a chime okay and then for the timing then uh what if you want it to be automatic you say after previous with so many seconds that way as soon as the side slide appears the animation will occur uh that many seconds later later so I'm going to click on okay now let's see what it looks like so far you heard the charm there so now I'm just going to uh play the uh slide with this uh icon over here it'll just play the current slide so here's the fuel pump here comes a spaceship okay so so far so good I'm going to hit the Escape key now let's say I wanted to actually fuel up so I'm going to click on that picture here's the mistake that people make think that they're going to change that same animation and really that's not what you do you're going to add another animation so I'm going to click on ADD animation this time this one is going to be an emphasis and you can see some of the emphasis uh I think the uh you know as as I'm moving my mouse you can see what they're going to look like let's say the pulse is going to be a good one there now notice that the pulse is the second one in your animation list so you're actually kind of uh uh making a script here making a sequence so I'm going to right click on that second one I want that one to happen automatically as well so let's say I'm going to add the timing and I want it to happen after previous let's say uh half of a second now uh I want to make this one repeat two times so it'll kind of pulse two times like that and you could add sound to these let me see if any sounds might be appropriate here well if you've been to the gas tank you know the cast register is probably the appropriate one there right so I'm going to click on okay so let's see uh how the whole thing is going to play now all right so it's going to go to the gas station it's going to fuel up and we're looking good when to hit the Escape kick so now I want the uh spacecraft to pull away from the pump so I'm going to click on the spacecraft again and I'm going to pick on ADD animation now this one I wanted to move in the slide that's called a motion path so I want to pick on more motion path and you can see there's lots of different ones over here if I pick one of these it'll kind of show you what that looks like right some pretty interesting ones here all I really want this to do is perhaps move to the right that one's not bad maybe I like to to U move to the left or move up that one's not bad I kind of like that one right there so I'm going to say Arc up and I want to click on that guy and click on okay and uh now we want to add timing to that as well so I'm going to right click pick on effect options now uh in this case we we'll do the uh the timing we could add a sound in here of course and uh let's say that might be like a uh a about a laser that'll be good and then we're going to make that one happen automatically as well after the previous one with maybe half of a second delay right I'm liking that now I want the spaceship to then fly off the screen so you click on the spaceship again and you make another animation this one is going to be an exit an exit means how is it going to leave the slide so I like to click on some of these and see what they're going to look like I probably want something more exciting than that that's pretty cool I I like that one so I want to pick on spiral out and again notice how that one is now in the sequence and I'm going to right click on that we'll pick on effect options this one definitely needs a sound how about like a a whoosh a whoosh sound and then we'll do the timing we'll make that one happen after the previous maybe a half of a second so you you almost storyboard this and uh you kind of put them in sequence like that now let's see how the whole slide is going to play so uh I'm going to pick on uh the slideshow here it comes that was the entrance it's going to move away and then he zooms out so you can see how the anim can really help your presentation now with the animation of you can see it's pretty easy to do and you can get some great effects here but um I would add it maybe once in a while in your presentation or I would add it at important points or maybe to make uh may maybe make some humor in there uh I wouldn't put it on every single slide because it starts to annoy people because you cross the line from going like hey that was pretty cool to saying wow you know it's starting to get a little bit annoying okay we get it right so you know just use these once in a while maybe for your important points or maybe once in a while in the in the presentation to break it up or maybe to add some humor and now you have some great ways to add animation to your objects in Powerpoint
