What do we call these effects that are in place when you switch from one slide to the next?

You can have tables, charts, lists, or blocks of text appear on a slide all at once or piece by piece. For example, you can have a pie chart appear one wedge at a time or a list appear one item at a time. You can also have these items exit a slide as a whole or piece by piece.

1. Select a table, chart, or block of text (for example, a list or text with some paragraphs).

2. Click Animate

   
   in the toolbar.

3. Click Add an Effect, then choose an animation.

4. Click the Delivery pop-up menu, then choose how you want the object to build.

   For example, you might choose By Bullet Group if you want a list of bullets to appear one at a time, but have indented bullets appear at the same time as their top-level bullet.

5. To change the order in which the bullets or paragraphs appear, click the pop-up menus next to “Build from,” then choose a bullet or paragraph to start and end with.

6. To see a preview of the animation, click Preview.

By default, each build is set to appear when you click. That means if a pie chart has five wedges, you need to click five times for the whole chart to be visible on the slide. To change the timing of these builds, Change the order and timing of builds in Keynote on Mac.

How to Automate Animation and Slideshow Transitions in PowerPoint

You can set your existing PowerPoint animations to play automatically so that you don't have to click the slide area to make the next item appear. You can also set the slide transitions to progress automatically, so there is no need to click to proceed to the next slide in your show. These instructions are for PowerPoint 2016, 2013, and 2010. The tabs and section headings may vary slightly in appearance, but the terminology in these instructions will remain the same between each version of PowerPoint.

Note:
This help page assumes that you are working with a PowerPoint file that already includes animations.

Automate Slide Animations

1. Open your PowerPoint slideshow.
2. Click the [Animations] tab > From the "Advanced Animation" group, click "Animation Pane".
3. Right-click the first animation > Select "Start With Previous". This will cause your first animation to start as soon as the slide appears on the screen.
4. For each of the remaining animations in your list, right-click and then select "Start After Previous." This will cause all other animations on the slide to occur automatically in the order you have listed them.
5. To adjust the time each animations occurs, click the up and down arrows in the "Duration:" field located within the "Timing" group.
6. To adjust the time before the next animation appears, click the up and down arrows in the "Delay:" field located within the "Timing" group.

Note:
When you return to a slide after having viewed only part of it, the animation sequences automatically start from the beginning.

Automate Slide Transitions

1. Click the [Transitions] tab > From the "Transition to This Slide" group, choose the transition you would like to apply to the selected slide.
2. To modify the transition speed, adjust the "Duration" drop-down list in the "Timing" group.
3. From the "Timing" group, uncheck "On Mouse Click."
4. From the "Timing" group, check "After" and modify the drop-down list to display the number of seconds you would like between slides.
5. To apply slide transition preferences to all slides, from the "Timing" group, select "Apply to All" or go to each slide and repeat the above steps for each individual slide.
6. Save (Ctrl + S) your presentation and run the slideshow (F5) to view your changes.

Slide Transitions

A slide transition is how one slide is removed from the screen and the next slide is displayed during a presentation. PowerPoint offers many entertaining and different slide transition schemes- the trick is to be careful not to use too many different schemes in one presentation. Be selective and consider the appropriateness of the scheme before you apply it to the different slides. Test them out by running the Slide Show and evaluate them for effectiveness. Quality rather then quantity is the key.

To add transitions to a presentation click on the slide sorter view, located at the bottom of the screen. Thumbnails of all the slides in your presentation will appear. Click on the Transitions tab. The transitions tab contains the Transitions to This Slide group. From this group choose a special effect to be applied during the transition between the previous slide to the next slide.

To apply transition schemes to all the slides in your presentation select Apply to All. You can also adjust the duration of the transitionby setting a time in the Duration box located above Apply To All.

When a transition is added to a slide, a transition icon (*) displays below the slide in all of the slide views.

Preset Animations

To further enhance your slides you can apply animation to the text and objects. This feature adds a visual aspect to your presentation and can create focus on specific items. When an animation effect is applied to bulleted lists and clip art objects, you can animate one bulleted item or clip art object to appear on the screen with each successive mouse click.

Preset Animations Schemes are available in the Animation group of the Animations Tab.

You must have an object selected on your slide for the animation list to become available. Different types of objects will result in different animation options appearing in the list.

Custom Animation

Click on the Animation Pane in the Advanced Animation group on the Animations tab and the animation pane appears to the right of the slide pane. Click on Add Animation. There are four options to apply effects to: the entrance, emphasis, exit and motion paths. Choose a slide, select an object on the slide, then add your choice of animation. The effect displays in the Slide pane. Preview the slide show by selecting slide show located at the bottom of the task pane.

The Animation task pane allows you to control the order in which text and objects appear on the slide. Once you have applied a custom animation to each object on a slide the objects display in the task pane list box. Objects can be rearranged in the task pane list box, by clicking on the Re-Order arrows below the list.

To adjust the speed click on the speed option box.

Run an Animated Slide Show

Unlike the slide show in Project 1, clicking the mouse button does not take you from slide to slide – it takes you from object to object. In order to have the bulleted items and clip art objects display on the screen it will be necessary for you to click each time. This is useful for speakers when giving a presentation as it allows them to guide the audience and have them focus on each inpidual point without the distraction of remaining text.
