The Morph transition in PowerPoint can be a powerful tool to create dynamic and interactive presentations. It enables seamless animation between slides, making your presentation more engaging and visually appealing. Here’s how you can use this feature:
Step 1: Enable Morph Transition
First, ensure you have the latest version of PowerPoint as the Morph transition is only available in PowerPoint 2019 or in PowerPoint for Office 365. Then, select the slide where you want to apply the transition and go to the Transitions tab in the PowerPoint toolbar. Here, you’ll find the Morph transition option. Click on it to enable the Morph transition for that slide.
Step 2: Duplicate Your Slide
The Morph transition works by animating the difference between two slides. So, you’ll need to create two similar slides with varying elements. Start by duplicating the slide where you enabled the Morph transition. You can do this by right-clicking on the slide in the slide sorter view and selecting ‘Duplicate Slide’.
Step 3: Modify Your Duplicate Slide
On the duplicate slide, rearrange, resize, or recolor the elements as you wish. These changes will be what Morph animates. For instance, if you move a text box from the top to the bottom of the duplicate slide, Morph will create an animation of the text box moving down the screen.
Step 4: Apply the Morph Transition
Now, apply the Morph transition to the duplicate slide. Go to the Transitions tab and select Morph. PowerPoint will automatically animate the changes between the original slide and the duplicate slide.
Step 5: Preview Your Transition
To see the Morph transition in action, preview your presentation by clicking on the ‘Slide Show’ tab and selecting ‘From Current Slide’. You’ll see the elements on your slide smoothly transitioning from their original positions and states to their new ones on the duplicate slide.
Remember, the key to using Morph effectively is creativity. You can use this feature to animate text, shapes, pictures, SmartArt, WordArt, and charts. It’s all about finding innovative ways to transition between different elements of your story to keep your audience engaged.
