Crystal clear. It works. Justvwhat I needed. Watch this and you will succeed at your animation!

[@Cbiblical]

Thank you for this wonderful presentation. Now, would you be willing to show how you made this presentation with the starry background, the numbers to the left of the slide in purple color, etc.?

[@daniellemarie629]

The starry background is likely just a photo. And the purple numbers on the left are 3 separate elements: 1. a purple square 2. the number 1 in a light purple, and 3. that same number 1 copy and pasted, colored white, and placed slighting to the left and above the purple 1

[@suryanshdutta7340]

VERRY GOOD ANIMATION

[@suryanshdutta7340]

SAME

[@ThomastheRiolpixQueen]

i remember powepoint use to have a random effect option in entering and exiting animation where it picks the animation at random, is that still there somewhere for the latest powerpoint? i still see it in my old powerpoints where i used the random effect but only when i click on the image i used the random effect on once i deselect it it disappears

[@waldoradomsky]

So while this is helpful, it would be nice to see how to do an animation that does not require a mouse click. For example if you had an audio recording and you wanted a picture to appear 20 seconds into the audio recording. Why does the first animation have to start with a click? Can't it just be a certain time into that slide? Other, remote viewers of a presentation will not know to click 20 seconds into that specific slide so having to click to start an animation doesn't help.

[@wwitsel]

Excellent explanation Thank you

[@GCFLearnFree]

[@minhtri862]
