  • Introduction2:00

    This course contains 12 short walkthrough PowerPoint animation examples. Each one will provide you with understanding of a key animation feature that can be used to take your slide design to the next level.

  • Walkthrough 1: Roller Counter5:22

    In example 1, you will learn how to create an animated counter that can count up or down.

  • Walkthrough 2: Graph Slider8:40

    In example 2, I will show you how to create an animated custom chart using motion paths and PowerPoint graphics.

  • Walkthrough 3: Light Loop Animation7:08

    In example 3, we will use PowerPoint lines to create a circular looping light animation over multiple slides and output it to video.

  • Walkthrough 4: Custom Transitions7:46

    In example 4, you will learn to create your own custom transitions, using in built animations and PowerPoint shapes.

  • Walkthrough 5: Wiggly Text11:43

    In example 5, we will be creating an organic, unique text effect of animated wobbly text in a sketch style, using multiple animations that reapeat on individual letters.

  • Walkthrough 6: Natural Snowfall9:45

    In example 6, you will see how using custom motion paths and varied animation speeds can create a natural looking snowfall effect.

  • Walkthrough 7: Clock5:12

    In this example, we will create a clock using the repeat option and spin animation using a simple hack to rotate from the correct point.

  • Walkthrough 8: Text Over Video8:09

    This example, shows how to bring your slides to life using video in the background while animating text over the top.

  • Walkthrough 9: 3D Model Slide Zoom5:29

    In this walk through, I will show you how you can easily create an interactive menu of animated 3D models.

  • Walkthrough 10: Image Masking8:03

    In this example, we will use the inbuilt PowerPoint tools (so no Photoshop required), to create an image mask to add depth to any design.

  • Walkthrough 11: 3D Photo Tablet8:45

    For this example, we will create a moving 3D rotating graphic tablet, using just PowerPoint shapes, a photo and the power of the morph tool.

  • Walkthrough 12: Write Out Text5:13

    In this example, I will use the draw tools and the ink replay animation to make some text look as if it is drawing out.

  • Walkthrough 13: 3D Text7:28

    For this example we'll create this 3D text and using the morph transition to animate it with any rotation and colour

  • Walkthrough 14: Spinning Video Style Effects6:37

    I'll show you have to make these video style spinning effects by using different shapes and applying multiple animations to them

  • Walkthrough 15: Motion Design With Text8:37

    In this example, I'll show how to make this impressive motion design text effect

  • Walkthrough 16: Abstract Lines8:35

    This time will will be creating these abstract lines using a 3D bevel and fluid animation

  • Walkthrough 17: Falling Bouncing Shapes8:20

    We'll make these fun, falling, rotating and bouncing shapes using motion paths and the smoothing settings

  • Walkthrough 18: Interactive Scrolling Page7:03

    In this walkthrough we'll create an interactive vertically scrolling presentation that animates between every page

Description

Good animation can be a wonderful tool to enhance the clarity of your message!

This course contains 18 walkthrough PowerPoint animation examples. Each one will provide you with understanding of a key animation feature that can be used to take your slide design to the next level.

All of the examples are included for download.

Some of the default animations used in PowerPoint can be worse than having no animation at all, but using animation that supports the content can bring your slides to life and engage your audience.


Here is what will be covered in the course:

  1. Using the powerful morph transition to create a roller counter

  2. Creating an animated custom chart using motion paths

  3. Creating a looping light animation including output to video

  4. Adding multiple animations on individual letters to create a sketch style text effect

  5. Learn how to create your own custom transitions

  6. Using custom motion paths and varied animation speeds to create a natural looking snowfall effect

  7. Using the spin animation with repeat option to create an animated clock

  8. Bring your slides to life using video in the background while animating text over the top

  9. Creating an interactive menu using animated 3D models

  10. Making an image mask to add depth to any design

  11. Using the morph transition to create and animate a 3D rotating tablet

  12. Using the draw tools and ink replay to create text that looks as if it is drawing out

  13. Investigating 3D text with the morph transition to animate it with any rotation and colour

  14. Making video style spinning effects by using different shapes and applying multiple animations to them

  15. Creating an impressive motion design text effect

  16. Drawing abstract lines using a 3D bevel and fluid animation

  17. Making fun, falling, rotating and bouncing shapes using motion paths and the smoothing settings

  18. Creating an interactive vertically scrolling presentation that animates between every page


By the end of this course you will be able to apply the skills learnt to create animations that you would have previously thought impossible in PowerPoint.

I hope you enjoy the class and please get in touch if you have any questions or suggestions.

Thanks! Alan.
