Break up or Blow up

"Have you ever wanted to have a picture appear on your screen as one thing and then blow apart to separate elements? It is a great technique for explaining parts of a process, photo, or structure in detail.
We are going to step through blowing apart pictures, but this same idea can be used for expanding organization charts, process diagrams, and all kinds of other elements."

Move it!

"Need to make content appear, change or disappear out of order? Need to control the order that things appear while in front of your audience? Playing games? You need to play with PowerPoint's Triggers option for custom animations."

Trigger Happy Animations in PowerPoint

Use triggers to create an interactive slide show in PowerPoint

"Let's get past the term, first: A trigger is nothing more than an item on your PowerPoint slide-- it could be a picture, a shape, a button, or even a paragraph or text box-- that sets off an action when you click it. The action might be a sound, a movie, or an animation, such as text becoming visible on the slide."

Combine animation techniques to create stunning PowerPoint slides
By Ellen Finkelstein

"Indeed, with the addition of motion paths, new trigger effects and the ability to add two animation behaviors to one object, PowerPoint has become capable of creating sophisticated animations that rival complex animation software."

Make data more moving

"You can add some animation to your chart for dramatic effect. You can animate the chart as a whole or animate elements of the chart."

1. In normal view, display the slide that has the chart you want, and then select the chart.
   
   
2. On the Slide Show menu, click Custom Animation to open the Custom Animation task pane.
   
   
3. In the Custom Animation task pane, click the Add Effect down arrow, point to Entrance, and then click an effect.
   
   
4. In the Custom Animation task pane, select the animation you applied to the chart, click the down arrow, and then click Effect Options.
   
   
5. On the Chart Animation tab, in the Group Chart list, click By element in series.
   
   
6. Click OK.
   
   
7. Now, if you click Slide Show and click through the presentation, you’ll see the animation in real time.

Animation example

"PowerPoint . with facilities such as smooth fades, multiple custom paths for each object and a fully editable timeline (definable down to 1/10th second), brings exciting new opportunities for exciting event and meeting openers and animated segments.

The possibility of doing away with expensive video sequences becomes almost a certainty."

Tutorial about Cool PowerPoint Animations

"This tutorial is more of a demonstration of what cool custom animation effects can be achieved just by using the standard PowerPoint 2002 / XP / 2003 / 2007 wipes."

• Exhibition stand graphics to attract visitors
  
• Conference openers (especially good with music)
  
• Conference breakout screens

PowerPoint Animation A to Z

This is a new version. If you tried the earlier one you owe it to yourself to look at the new one.

(One hint, open the PPS file in PowerPoint. When you see an interesting trick, hit the Esc button. View the Custom animation pane to see how it was done.)

How to create the effect

"It is relatively simple and can be done quickly. The only part that slows you down is setting the colors. The Fade in technique is explained below. You can apply the same and reverse the color scheme to attain the Fade out effect."

Make it so

"Here's a Power User column for teachers. Want to involve your students more in a presentation? Set up "triggers" for them to click as they go through the show. Triggers (related to animations) let you add surprise to your slides while inviting your viewer to take part and have fun."

Imbedded videos

"Use this to insert YouTube videos into a PowerPoint slide. All you need to do is to provide the YouTube video URL that appears in the browser address bar, the rest is taken care of by the YTV Wizard.

Note: YouTube videos are streamed so a live internet connection is required to playback the video during the slideshow. Use the free FlashBack add-in to play/rewind the YouTube video automatically."

Animate charts

Here's one take from PPTWorkBench.com:
Complex Animations

This tutorial is an example of making PowerPoint do things that can't normally be done. In this case, we will tweak some chart animations that don't exist under normal circumstances.

1. Create a chart with data,
   
2. Ungroup the chart into individual pieces,
   
3. Insert pictures that relate to the data,
   
4. Do some grouping + animation.

A little taste

The samples on this site make use of advanced animations that are introduced in PowerPoint 2002/XP and above. They will not run correctly when viewing with PowerPoint 2000 or earlier versions. You are free to use it for your presentation as long as proper credit is given.

Note: The animations found in these presentations or showcases are done entirely using PowerPoint. NO animated gifs, video or flash are used.

Roll your own

"The best part is that you can add/modify and distribute animation schemes of your own.
All the schemes are present in a read-only file quikanim.ppt located in

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\1033 

(the path may vary depending on the drive and installation folder).
This file is essentially a normal PowerPoint file. You can open the file in PowerPoint directly. However it is best to remove the read-only flag before opening it."
