Custom Animation in Powerpoint
A custom animation is group of effects that can be added to an object in PowerPoint. In this tutorial we will show you how add a custom animation to your PowerPoint presentation.
Currently as you can see we have a presentation slide with 3 images, and we would like to add some custom animations to liven up our presentation. Can we do this? But of course!
First select the object you want to be animated, it can be a text box, chart, image, etc. In this case the object that chosen was the image of the eagle.
Step 1. Select the Animations tab
Step 2. Go to the Animate option and choose the custom animation
This will open a new section to the right of your presentation that allows you to add various effects to your object, such as its entrance, exit, and motion path. I chose the Fly in entrance option. How do i do this?
Adding an Entrance Effect
Step 1. Go to Effects and choose Entrances
Step 2. Click the Fly in option
Now when this slide appears during the presentation, If a mouse click is performed the eagle image will appear with the Fly In effect.
You can also choose what direction the object appears from and its animation speed by. I choose Direction: From Top right with a Speed: Medium.
Adding an Exit Effect
Step 1. Go to Effects and choose Exit
Step 2. Click the Fly Out option
Similar to the entrance you can also choose what direction the object appears from and its animation speed by. I choose Direction: to Top left with a Speed: Medium.
This can be done with multiple objects in the same slide. For example I gave the fish the same exit as the eagle, and this was the result when everything was put together.

Hi there, i’m a professional dancer. i’d like to see to make a showreel for my promotions. I also want to use some animation. Can someone suggest me a fantastic animation studio, but certainly not very expensive? I’m here for 3 months for a tour.
Love
Kim.
