Creating animations in PowerPoint on your iPad is a simple process. You can animate text, pictures, shapes, tables, SmartArt graphics, and other objects in your PowerPoint presentation. Animations can help you control the pace of your presentation and make it more visually appealing. Follow the steps below to create animations in PowerPoint on your iPad:
- Open PowerPoint and navigate to the slide where you want to add animations.
- Select the object or text on the slide that you want to animate.
- Tap the ‘Animate’ option in the top menu. It will open a sidebar with various animation options.
- Choose the type of animation you want to apply. You can select from ‘Entrance’, ‘Emphasis’, ‘Exit’, and ‘Motion Paths’. Each category has a list of specific effects. You can preview each effect by tapping on it.
- After choosing the animation effect, you can adjust the settings, such as ‘Start’, ‘Duration’, and ‘Delay’. ‘Start’ determines when the animation will begin; ‘Duration’ sets how long the animation will last; ‘Delay’ adds a pause before the animation starts.
- If you want to add more than one animation to the same object, tap ‘Add Animation’ and repeat the process.
- Once you have added all the animations, you can preview them by tapping ‘Play’ at the bottom of the ‘Animate’ sidebar.
Remember, while animations can enhance your presentation, overusing them can distract from your message. It’s best to use animations sparingly and consistently throughout your presentation to maintain a professional look and feel.
