0:00:00,50 --> 0:00:01,90
- [Instructor] Animation is a great way

2
0:00:01,90 --> 0:00:05,50
to add a storytelling element to your slides.

3
0:00:05,50 --> 0:00:07,30
Remember this slide?

4
0:00:07,30 --> 0:00:08,90
I had a nice picture here.

5
0:00:08,90 --> 0:00:11,70
And in this slide the same picture went dim

6
0:00:11,70 --> 0:00:13,50
and some text appeared.

7
0:00:13,50 --> 0:00:16,00
I'd like to have this text appear slowly

8
0:00:16,00 --> 0:00:19,20
and then maybe to add some drama, we can add the logo.

9
0:00:19,20 --> 0:00:22,40
So let's get started creating an animation.

10
0:00:22,40 --> 0:00:24,80
I'm going to first select the text box.

11
0:00:24,80 --> 0:00:26,90
I'll change to the Animation tab,

12
0:00:26,90 --> 0:00:29,90
and now I can choose an animation to appear.

13
0:00:29,90 --> 0:00:32,20
As I click on each animation,

14
0:00:32,20 --> 0:00:35,10
I can get a preview of how it's going to look.

15
0:00:35,10 --> 0:00:37,40
I like the fade animation,

16
0:00:37,40 --> 0:00:40,40
but I'm going to choose Effect Options.

17
0:00:40,40 --> 0:00:43,60
I can have it add as one object, all at once,

18
0:00:43,60 --> 0:00:47,90
or by paragraph, and I can even further fine-tune it

19
0:00:47,90 --> 0:00:51,20
by clicking this tiny little down arrow on the bottom right

20
0:00:51,20 --> 0:00:55,10
to open up a dialog box to give me some more options.

21
0:00:55,10 --> 0:00:57,90
A great feature about animating text is

22
0:00:57,90 --> 0:01:00,80
that you can really fine-tune the effect.

23
0:01:00,80 --> 0:01:03,60
In the Animate text area, I can have it appear

24
0:01:03,60 --> 0:01:07,00
all at once, by word, and by letter.

25
0:01:07,00 --> 0:01:08,60
By letter is a great way to give

26
0:01:08,60 --> 0:01:11,00
it a neat typewriter effect.

27
0:01:11,00 --> 0:01:14,30
You can even change the delay in between letters.

28
0:01:14,30 --> 0:01:16,00
I'm not going to keep it as this,

29
0:01:16,00 --> 0:01:17,20
but I'll show you what I mean.

30
0:01:17,20 --> 0:01:21,00
I'll click OK and we'll get a preview.

31
0:01:21,00 --> 0:01:23,40
If I added the delay very, very slowly,

32
0:01:23,40 --> 0:01:26,70
it would look like a typewriter.

33
0:01:26,70 --> 0:01:32,10
I can animate it by word and so on.

34
0:01:32,10 --> 0:01:34,70
I'm going to have the whole thing appear.

35
0:01:34,70 --> 0:01:37,50
I can even add a sound to my animation.

36
0:01:37,50 --> 0:01:39,40
So if you're having it appear by letter,

37
0:01:39,40 --> 0:01:40,90
there is a typewriter sound

38
0:01:40,90 --> 0:01:44,50
to give it that old-school effect.

39
0:01:44,50 --> 0:01:47,10
I can choose how I want it to start.

40
0:01:47,10 --> 0:01:49,50
I'll have it start on a mouse click.

41
0:01:49,50 --> 0:01:52,20
I can change the duration of the animation

42
0:01:52,20 --> 0:01:54,40
if it's too long or too short,

43
0:01:54,40 --> 0:01:56,90
and I can also add a delay on it.

44
0:01:56,90 --> 0:02:00,10
I'm going to add another element to this slide.

45
0:02:00,10 --> 0:02:05,90
I'm going to insert a picture and I'll insert our logo.

46
0:02:05,90 --> 0:02:08,10
I'll put it down at the bottom

47
0:02:08,10 --> 0:02:10,60
and then I'll slowly have this appear.

48
0:02:10,60 --> 0:02:13,40
So I'll change back to the Animation tab.

49
0:02:13,40 --> 0:02:15,70
I'm going to have this fade in.

50
0:02:15,70 --> 0:02:17,20
I'm going to up the duration of this

51
0:02:17,20 --> 0:02:19,90
because I do want a slow fade-in,

52
0:02:19,90 --> 0:02:22,20
and I'll put a delay on it.

53
0:02:22,20 --> 0:02:24,20
If we want to see how this looks,

54
0:02:24,20 --> 0:02:28,60
I can click Preview on the left-hand side.

55
0:02:28,60 --> 0:02:30,90
I like that, so I'll stick with it.

56
0:02:30,90 --> 0:02:34,90
Something else that you can animate is chart elements.

57
0:02:34,90 --> 0:02:37,00
I'm going to select my chart.

58
0:02:37,00 --> 0:02:39,00
I'm still on the Animation tab,

59
0:02:39,00 --> 0:02:41,80
so I'm going to choose Appear.

60
0:02:41,80 --> 0:02:45,30
I want each chunk of this chart to appear separately,

61
0:02:45,30 --> 0:02:49,90
so I'll choose Effect Options, and By Category.

62
0:02:49,90 --> 0:02:53,90
This appears because it knows that I've selected a chart.

63
0:02:53,90 --> 0:02:56,70
If I want to see how that looks, I can change

64
0:02:56,70 --> 0:03:01,30
to the Slideshow tab and click From Current Slide.

65
0:03:01,30 --> 0:03:05,70
With each click of my mouse, I can animate this chart.

66
0:03:05,70 --> 0:03:08,20
I can talk a little bit about the eBook sales,

67
0:03:08,20 --> 0:03:12,20
the hardware sales, training, and so forth.

68
0:03:12,20 --> 0:03:14,50
I just need to click my mouse every time

69
0:03:14,50 --> 0:03:16,80
I need to start the animation.

70
0:03:16,80 --> 0:03:19,50
I'll hit the escape key to get out of this.

71
0:03:19,50 --> 0:03:21,50
I can select this and change back

72
0:03:21,50 --> 0:03:25,40
to the Animations tab and all my animations appear.

73
0:03:25,40 --> 0:03:29,40
I can see them all numbered by these little red squares.

74
0:03:29,40 --> 0:03:31,90
If I want to delete the animations,

75
0:03:31,90 --> 0:03:37,40
I can delete them on the keyboard by hitting the delete key.

76
0:03:37,40 --> 0:03:40,40
Play around with animations, animate objects

77
0:03:40,40 --> 0:03:42,70
all at once or one at a time.

78
0:03:42,70 --> 0:03:44,80
They're very powerful and you can learn

79
0:03:44,80 --> 0:03:47,20
how each different type of animation can

80
0:03:47,20 --> 0:03:50,10
drastically change the storytelling aspect

81
0:03:50,10 --> 0:03:55,10
of your presentation.
