PowerPoint Transitions

I’ll start with the transitions. The transition is a short animation that you can place in between two slides. Transitions used more often than animations, which is why we’re giving you a full in-depth look at all 46 transitions PowerPoint 2013 has to offer. (Click the GIF image to view it larger in more detail.)

Animations

PowerPoint 2013 offers 40 Entrance, 24 Emphasis and 40 Exit effects to animate the contents on your slide. If we had to cover each and every one of those separately, that means you’d have to read 104 separate effect descriptions. To save you the trouble, we’ll just tell you about which ones to use more often and which ones to avoid. We’ll start with Entrance.

Conclusion

Whether you prefer a heavy effect-lead presentation or one with just a few simple transitions here and there, I hope this guide will be useful! Comment Name * Email *
