To add an animation to a PowerPoint slide that follows the previous animation, you’ll need to use the ‘Add Animation’ feature, which can be found in the ‘Animations’ tab of the PowerPoint toolbar. Here are the steps:
- First, click on the object you’d like to animate. This could be a text box, image, chart, or any other object on your slide.
- Click on the ‘Animations’ tab in the toolbar at the top of your screen.
- Under the ‘Animation’ tab, you’ll see a variety of animation options. Click on the one you’d like to apply to your selected object.
- Once you’ve applied an animation, go to the ‘Animation Pane’ on the right to adjust the timing and order of your animations. If the ‘Animation Pane’ is not visible, you can open it by clicking on ‘Animation Pane’ in the ‘Advanced Animation’ group on the ‘Animations’ tab.
- In the ‘Animation Pane’, you’ll see a list of your animations in the order they’ll play. Click on the animation you want to follow the previous animation.
- At the start of the animation in the ‘Timing’ group, change the ‘Start’ option to ‘After Previous’. This will make your animation play immediately after the previous one finishes.
Remember, effective use of animations can enhance your presentation, but overuse can be distracting. It’s important to strike a balance.
