MS Power Point: Create PPT with adding Sound, Video, Animation, Transition
and Hyperlink in Presentation
About transitions
There are three categories of unique transitions to choose from, all of which
can be found on the Transitions tab.
● Subtle: These are the most basic types of transitions. They use
simple animations to move between slides.
● Exciting: These use more complex animations to transition
between slides. While they're more visually interesting than Subtle
transitions, adding too many can make your presentation look less
professional. However, when used in moderation they can add a nice
touch between important slides.
● Dynamic Content: If you're transitioning between two slides that
use similar slide layouts, dynamic transitions will move only the
placeholders, not the slides themselves. When used correctly,
dynamic transitions can help unify your slides and add a further level
of polish to your presentation.
Transitions are best used in moderation. Adding too many transitions can
make your presentation look a little silly and can even be distracting to your
audience. Consider using mostly subtle transitions, or not using transitions
at all.
To apply a transition:
1. Select the desired slide from the Slide Navigation pane. This is
the slide that will appear after the transition.
2. Click the Transitions tab, then locate the Transition to This Slide
group. By default, None is applied to each slide.
3. Click the More drop-down arrow to display all transitions.
4. Click a transition to apply it to the selected slide. This will
automatically preview the transition.
You can use the Apply To All command in the Timing group to apply the
same transition to all slides in your presentation. Keep in mind that this will
modify any other transitions you've applied.
Try applying a few different types of transitions to various slides in your
presentation. You may find that some transitions work better than others,
depending on the content of your slides.
To preview a transition:
You can preview the transition for a selected slide at any time using either
of these two methods:
● Click the Preview command on the Transitions tab.
● Click the Play Animations command in the Slide Navigation
pane.
Modifying transitions
To modify the transition effect:
You can quickly customize the look of a transition by changing its direction.
1. Select the slide with the transition you want to modify.
2. Click the Effect Options command and choose the desired
option. These options will vary depending on the selected transition.
3. The transition will be modified, and a preview of the transition
will appear.
Some transitions do not allow you to modify the direction.
To modify the transition duration:
1. Select the slide with the transition you want to modify.
2. In the Duration field in the Timing group, enter the desired time
for the transition. In this example, we'll decrease the time to half a
second—or 00.50—to make the transition faster.
To add sound:
1. Select the slide with the transition you want to modify.
2. Click the Sound drop-down menu in the Timing group.
3. Click a sound to apply it to the selected slide, then preview
the transition to hear the sound.
Sounds are best used in moderation. Applying a sound between every
slide could become overwhelming or even annoying to an audience
when presenting your slide show.
To remove a transition:
1. Select the slide with the transition you want to remove.
2. Choose None from the Transition to This Slide group. The
transition will be removed.
To remove transitions from all slides, apply the None transition to a
slide, then click the Apply to All command.
