PowerPoint tip 13

PowerPoint tip 13.

 Limit transitions & builds (animation)
Use object builds and slide transitions judiciously. Object builds (also called
animations), such as bullet points, should not be animated on every slide. Some
animation is a good thing, but stick to the most subtle and professional (similar to
what you might see on the evening TV news broadcast). A simple “Wipe Left-to-
Right” (from the “Animations” menu) is good for a bullet point, but a “Move” or “Fly”
for example is too tedious and slow (and yet, is used in many presentations today).
Listeners will get bored very quickly if they are asked to endure slide after slide of
animation. For transitions between slides, use no more than two-three different types
of transition effects and do not place transition effects between all slides.
