To apply motion effects to different objects on a PowerPoint slide, you use the Animations feature. This feature allows you to add various animation effects, including motion paths, entrance, emphasis, and exit animations, to individual objects such as text, images, and shapes on your slide
How to apply motion effects using the Animations feature:
- Select the object you want to animate on the slide.
- Go to the Animations tab on the PowerPoint ribbon.
- Click Add Animation to choose an animation effect.
- For motion effects specifically, scroll down and select a Motion Path animation, which lets you move the object along a predefined or custom path
- You can customize the motion path by adjusting its direction, length, and points.
- Use the Animation Pane to add multiple animations to the same object, reorder animations, and fine-tune timing such as start, duration, and delay
This approach gives you full control over how different objects move and appear on your slide, enabling dynamic and engaging presentations. In summary, the Animations feature is the PowerPoint tool you use to apply motion effects to different objects on a slide
