Lecture Notes On Class 7
Adding
Transitions and Animations
Topics:
1. Adding Slide Transitions
Definition:
A slide transition is the visual effect that occurs when moving from one
slide to the next during a presentation. It enhances the flow and engagement of
the slideshow.
Steps to Add a
Slide Transition:
- Select the slide where you want to add a
transition.
- Go to the Transitions tab on the
Ribbon.
- Choose from a variety of transition
effects like Fade, Push, Wipe, Morph, etc.
- After selecting the transition, you can
preview how it looks by clicking the Preview button.
Customizing
Transitions:
- Duration: You can set how long the transition lasts (e.g., 1 second, 2
seconds) using the Duration option.
- Transition Sound: You can add sound to transitions from
the Sound dropdown menu.
- Advance Slide: You can control whether the slide
advances automatically after a certain time or manually by a click.
Tip: Use transitions sparingly to maintain
professionalism. Choose subtle effects for business presentations.
2. Setting Timings
for Transitions
Importance:
Timings help control the flow of the presentation, ensuring that slides change
at the right pace without requiring manual intervention.
Steps to Set
Timings:
- In the Transitions tab, find the Timing
group.
- In the Advance Slide section,
uncheck "On Mouse Click" if you want slides to advance
automatically.
- Check the "After" box and set
the time (in seconds) for how long the slide should stay before
transitioning to the next.
- Apply the same timing to all slides by
clicking the Apply to All button if needed.
Example:
If you set "After 5 seconds," the slide will automatically transition
to the next slide after 5 seconds.
3. Animating Text
and Objects (Entrance, Exit, Emphasis)
Definition:
Animations are effects applied to individual objects (text, images, shapes,
etc.) within a slide. They help direct attention to important information and
make the presentation more dynamic.
Types of Animations:
- Entrance: These animations make an object appear on the slide. Example: Fly
In, Fade, Zoom.
- Exit: These animations make an object disappear. Example: Fly Out,
Disappear, Wipe.
- Emphasis: These animations highlight an object that is already on the
slide. Example: Pulse, Spin, Grow/Shrink.
Steps to Add
Animations:
- Select the object (text, image, shape) you
want to animate.
- Go to the Animations tab.
- Choose an animation effect from the
options (Entrance, Exit, Emphasis).
- Use the Effect Options dropdown to
modify the direction or style of the animation (e.g., Left to Right, Top
to Bottom).
Customizing
Animations:
- Duration: Set how long the animation lasts (e.g., 1 second, 2 seconds).
- Delay: You can delay when the animation starts by setting a delay time.
- Start: Choose when the animation starts:
- On Click: The animation starts when you click.
- With Previous: The animation starts at the same time
as the previous one.
- After Previous: The animation starts after the previous
one finishes.
4. Managing
Animation Sequences
Definition:
Managing the animation sequence ensures that multiple animations on the same
slide play in the desired order and timing.
Steps to Manage
Animation Sequences:
- Go to the Animations tab and click Animation
Pane to see a list of all animations applied to objects on the slide.
- In the Animation Pane, you can:
- Reorder animations by dragging them up or down.
- Modify timings by clicking the dropdown arrow next to
each animation and selecting Timing.
- Add Multiple Animations to a single object using the Add
Animation button.
Example:
You can set the text to Fly In first, followed by an image that appears
with the Fade effect.
Lab Task:
Create a 5-slide presentation
with transitions and animations for each slide and object.
Steps:
- Slide 1: Add a Title Slide.
- Apply a Fade transition to the
slide.
- Animate the title to Zoom in on
entrance.
- Slide 2: Add a slide with a Text Box and Image.
- Apply a Wipe transition to the
slide.
- Animate the text to Fly in from the
left and the image to Fade in.
- Slide 3: Add a slide with Bullet Points.
- Apply a Push transition.
- Animate each bullet point to appear one
at a time with the Fly In animation.
- Slide 4: Add a Chart or Graph.
- Apply a Split transition.
- Animate the chart with the Grow/Shrink
effect.
- Slide 5: Add a Conclusion Slide.
- Apply a Morph transition.
- Animate the text to Appear with a Fade
out for the exit.
Objective of the
Lab Task:
- Practice using transitions to move
between slides smoothly.
- Use animations to enhance the
appearance of text and objects within the slides.
- Customize timings and animation sequences
to create a professional presentation flow.
Conclusion:
By applying transitions and animations effectively, students can make their presentations more dynamic, engaging, and visually appealing.
