How to Create a Dynamic Presentation in PowerPoint

Your email has been sent

Adding a summary slide to the end of a PowerPoint presentation is a good idea. That way, you can review items with your audience at the end of the presentation. The presenter controls what items make it to the summary slide and can even use each item on the slide to quickly return to the previous slide(s).

How to create a summary slide in PowerPoint

How to hyperlink summary items, how to insert a zoom summary slide in microsoft 365.

If you’re using an older version of PowerPoint (pre-Microsoft 365), you can create a summary slide as follows:

1. Select all of the slides you want to summarize in Slide Sorter view. Click the first slide, then press and hold the Ctrl key as you click the remaining slides ( Figure A ).

PowerPoint displays a red border around the selected slides 1, 3 and 5.

2. Click Summary Slide on the Outlining toolbar.

3. PowerPoint inserts the summary slide before the slides, so be sure to drag it to the end of the presentation.

When you’re done with the presentation, you can click to the summary slide for a brief period of questions and answers, if appropriate.

SEE: Spice up your presentation by adding multiple flashing stars in a PowerPoint slide .

If that’s the end of things, then the simple summary slide is adequate. However, you might want to display the original slides again as you answer questions from the audience. If that’s a possibility, hyperlink the summary items to their respective slides as follows:

1. Select the item on the summary slide.

2. Choose Hyperlink from the Insert menu.

3. Click Place In This Document in the left pane.

4. Identify the slide ( Figure B ).

Select the slide to hyperlink.

5. Click OK.

You don’t have to hyperlink the items on the summary slide, but doing so lets you return to the original slide(s) with a quick click. You’ll probably want to add hyperlinks on each slide for the return trip to the summary slide.

SEE: Here’s how to tone down a busy picture using Merge in Microsoft PowerPoint .

If you’re using Microsoft 365, adding a summary slide is easier. Thanks to the Zoom feature, PowerPoint will generate a summary slide, but how you use it differs a bit from the older summary slide. There are no hyperlinks per se; clicking a thumbnail will zoom in on the original slide.

Let’s create a summary slide that includes the same slides 1, 3 and 5 using the Zoom feature:

1. Click the Insert tab.

2. In the Links group, choose Summary Zoom from the Zoom dropdown ( Figure C ).

Choose Summary Zoom.

3. In the resulting pane, click slides 1, 3 and 5 ( Figure D ). If you select slides before starting this process, they will already be selected.

Click the slides you want in the summary slide.

4. Click Insert.

Figure E shows the resulting summary slide, which includes thumbnails of slides 1, 3 and 5. PowerPoint displays the summary slide at the beginning of the presentation, so remember to drag it to the end.

The summary slide includes three slide thumbnails.

How to use the Zoom summary slide

To use the summary slide, simply click any thumbnail to zoom in on that slide. You’re not actually moving to that slide. What happens with the next click is where sections matter.

In Figure C , you can see two dimmed options. Section Slide is dimmed because the current presentation has no sections. When you apply the Zoom summary slide, PowerPoint automatically divides your slides into sections. How you intend to use the summary slide will determine whether you keep the new sections. The Zoom feature works well with sections, but they’re not required.

SEE: Create a moving arrow in Microsoft PowerPoint to gently guide the presentation from point to point.

If the presentation has sections, the second click will zoom in on the section slide in that section. Each subsequent click will display the next slide in the section until you reach the end of the section. Once you’ve reached that point, a click will return the presentation to the summary slide.

If the presentation doesn’t use sections or the section has only one slide, the first click zooms in on the appropriate slide. The second click returns you to the summary slide.

How to remove a section

There’s no way to stop PowerPoint from adding sections once you implement the Zoom slide feature. Fortunately, removing the sections is easy:

1. Right-click the section item.

2. Choose Remove Section ( Figure F ).

Choose Remove Section.

How to Create Dynamic PowerPoint Presentations with Slide, Summary, and Section Zoom

(Note: S uitable for users of PowerPoint 2016, 2019, 2021, and PowerPoint for Microsoft 365 . )

Use Slide, Summary and Section Zoom to create a dynamic slide deck that allows people to choose their own path through a presentation.

Slide Summary and Section Zoom Explained

Slide, Summary, and Section Zoom are three ‘new-ish’ tools available to users of PowerPoint 2019, 2021, and PowerPoint for Microsoft 365. So, what are these Zoom tools, and why are they useful?

Slide, Summary, and Section Zoom help bring our presentations to life. They make slides more dynamic and exciting and give our clients and customers the opportunity to choose their own path through the presentation. Goodbye linear, flat slide decks – hello dynamic, flexible content!

When we create a Zoom in PowerPoint, we can jump to and from specific slides, portions, and sections of the presentation in whatever order we please. This is helpful if we present a slide deck to an audience, as we can seamlessly dive in and out of sections. It’s also great if we have emailed a presentation to a client. They can choose how they want to move through the presentation and drill down quickly to the information of interest to them without clicking through 50+ irrelevant slides.

For example, we could have a presentation showcasing some new products to launch. We could add a slide to the deck that has an image of each product and then create a zoom so customers can click the image and zoom to the relevant slide or section.

We can create three types of zoom: Summary, Section, and Slide. We can find these tools on the Insert tab in the Zoom group.

powerpoint presentation dynamic

In this article, we will take a look at all of them to identify the differences.

Summary Zoom

Selection zoom, change image, return to zoom, zoom styles and effects.

Summary Zoom is a landing page where we can see parts of our presentation all at once. We get to specify which parts of the presentation are included in the summary Zoom. We can zoom from one place in the presentation to another, skip ahead or revisit slides without interrupting the flow of the presentation.

When we create a summary zoom, a new section will be added to the presentation titled ‘Summary’.

Let’s take a look at Summary Zoom in action.

  • From the Insert tab in the Links group, click the lower half of the Zoom button.
  • Click Summary Zoom .

The Insert Summary Zoom window will open.

powerpoint presentation dynamic

  • Select the beginning slide of each section.

powerpoint presentation dynamic

  • Click Insert .

A new summary slide is inserted into the presentation in a new section titled‘ Summary Section’. The selected slides show as clickable thumbnails and can be used in a similar way to a table of contents.

In this example, our customers/clients can choose which presentation tip they are most interested to read about and jump directly to that section of the slide deck.

  • Press F5 to run the slide show.
  • Click on any slide thumbnail.

powerpoint presentation dynamic

PowerPoint will jump to that slide with a nice zoom-in effect. We can move through the rest of the section slides by clicking the mouse as normal. Once we get to the next section, PowerPoint will zoom us back out to the thumbnail page.

Section Zoom is similar to Summary Zoom in many respects. We can use a Section Zoom to dive in and dive out of different sections of our presentation. Sections help us manage long presentations by splitting the slides into manageable ‘chunks’ of related content.

For section Zoom to work correctly, ensure you have sections added to your presentation.

A difference between Section Zoom and Summary Zoom is that Section Zoom doesn’t create a summary slide of thumbnails. Instead, the clickable thumbnails will show on whichever slide we have selected in the presentation.

  • Click on the slide where the thumbnails should appear.
  • Click Section Zoom .

The Insert Section Zoom window will open.

powerpoint presentation dynamic

  • Select the slides to insert.
  • Click the Insert button.

In this example, I have positioned the thumbnails in the bottom corners of the slide so users can click to jump to the next section or click to go back to the previous section.

powerpoint presentation dynamic

Slide Zoom works in a similar way to Summary and Section Zoom. Slide Zoom does not create a summary page of thumbnails; our presentation doesn’t need to be divided into sections.

Slide Zoom lets us add individual slides as thumbnails to an existing slide so users can jump easily between different slides in the presentation.

  • Click Slide Zoom .

powerpoint presentation dynamic

  • Press the F5 key to run the slide show.

Zoom Options

Section, Summary, and Slide Zooms can be customized using the Zoom ribbon.

powerpoint presentation dynamic

We can change the size of the zoom, change the image, modify the zoom style, add a border, and much more.

When we insert a zoom, we will always get a thumbnail view of the slide or section we are zooming in to. We might want to use a different image as our Zoom thumbnail. In this example, we are going to use a PowerPoint icon.

  • Click on any thumbnail.
  • From the Zoom tab, click the arrow next to Change Image in the Zoom Options group.
  • Click Change Image .
  • Click From Icons .
  • Select an Icon from the gallery.

powerpoint presentation dynamic

The slide thumbnail has now been replaced with an icon.

powerpoint presentation dynamic

Return to Zoom controls the running order of the slides in the presentation. For example, if we have created a summary Zoom and we want to zoom back out to the main thumbnail page once we’ve finished moving through the slides in the first section, we need to turn on Return to Zoom.

  • From the Zoom tab, in the Zoom Options group, check the box next to Return to Zoom .

powerpoint presentation dynamic

We can apply zoom styles and effects to our thumbnails.

  • In the Zoom tab, click the drop-down arrow in the Zoom Styles group.
  • Select a style from the gallery.

powerpoint presentation dynamic

We can add a simple border around the outside of each thumbnail.

  • Select one or more of the thumbnails.
  • From the Zoom tab, in the Zoom Style group, click the drop-down arrow next to Zoom Border.
  • Select Weight .
  • Choose a line thickness.
  • Click the drop-down arrow next to Zoom Border .
  • Choose a color from the palette.

We can add effects to the thumbnail by clicking Zoom Effects .

To create a slide in the PowerPoint presentation with automatically updated data, do the following:

Excel copy in PowerPoint 365

  • Click Ctrl+C .
  • Right-click on the selected object and then choose Copy in the popup menu.

   2.   Open the presentation slide, where you want to inset the Excel object and then, on the Home tab, in the Clipboard group, choose on the Paste dropdown list:

   2.1.   If you try to paste a chart:

Paste Options in PowerPoint 365

In the Paste Options list, choose:

Use Destination Theme and Link Data in PowerPoint 365

Use Destination Theme will take on the theme colors, fonts, and effects of the destination presentation that you are pasting to. The source colors, fonts, and effects will be changed.

Keep Source formatting will maintain the theme colors, fonts, and effects of the presentation that you are copying from. All colors, fonts, and effects will be the same, as in the source workbook.

Link Data is what you'll use if you want the information in the chart or spreadsheet to be automatically updated when the source data is updated. A Link is created to the original and changes to the source will make the changes in the destination document.

Caution! Because this method creates a link to a specific Excel spreadsheet, if you move or delete the source file, you won't be able to update the chart.

Note: See the description for other buttons below.

Excel table in PowerPoint 365

   2.2.   If you would like to insert a table, click Paste Special... :

Paste special in PowerPoint 365

Note: Any other paste option doesn't create a link to the source file, so, any changes in the Excel table doesn't update the table in PowerPoint.

In the Paste Special dialog box, check the Paste link checkbox and click OK :

Now, then you change anything in the chart or in the table, you will see changes in the PowerPoint presentation:

Other options for pasting an Excel chart:

Use Destination Theme and Embed Workbook in PowerPoint for Microsoft 365

Embed Workbook will create a copy of the data and embed it into the destination document. Future changes in the source will not be reflected. You can manually change the chart by double-clicking on it and making changes in the mini-spreadsheet that opens inside the destination document. Changes you make in the destination document also will not affect the source data. Embedding the chart and its source data is useful for sharing documents between viewer's and your own computers. However, it can create very large files.

When it comes to PowerPoint presentation design, there's no shortage of avenues you can take.

While all that choice — colors, formats, visuals, fonts — can feel liberating, it‘s important that you’re careful in your selection as not all design combinations add up to success.

What makes a good PowerPoint presentation?

Powerpoint design ideas, best powerpoint presentation slides, good examples of powerpoint presentation design.

In my opinion, a great PowerPoint presentation gets the point across succinctly while using a design that doesn't detract from it.

Here are some of the elements I like to keep in mind when I’m building my own.

1. Minimal Animations and Transitions

Believe it or not, animations and transitions can take away from your PowerPoint presentation. Why? Well, they distract from the content you worked so hard on.

A good PowerPoint presentation keeps the focus on your argument by keeping animations and transitions to a minimum. I suggest using them tastefully and sparingly to emphasize a point or bring attention to a certain part of an image.

2. Cohesive Color Palette

I like to refresh my memory on color theory when creating a new PowerPoint presentation.

A cohesive color palette uses complementary and analogous colors to draw the audience’s attention and help emphasize certain aspects at the right time.

Luckily, new versions of PowerPoint actually suggest ideas for you based on the content you're presenting. This can help you keep up with the latest trends in presentation design .

PowerPoint is filled with interesting boilerplate designs you can start with. To find these suggestions, open PowerPoint and click the “Design” tab in your top navigation bar. Then, on the far right side, you'll see the following choices:

powerpoint presentation dynamic

This simplistic presentation example employs several different colors and font weights, but instead of coming off as disconnected, the varied colors work with one another to create contrast and call out specific concepts.

What I like: The big, bold numbers help set the reader's expectations, as they clearly signify how far along the viewer is in the list of tips.

10. “Pixar's 22 Rules to Phenomenal Storytelling,” Gavin McMahon

This presentation by Gavin McMahon features color in all the right places. While each of the background images boasts a bright, spotlight-like design, all the characters are intentionally blacked out.

What I like: This helps keep the focus on the tips, while still incorporating visuals. Not to mention, it's still easy for me to identify each character without the details. (I found you on slide eight, Nemo.)

11. “Facebook Engagement and Activity Report,” We Are Social

Here's another great example of data visualization in the wild.

What I like: Rather than displaying numbers and statistics straight up, this presentation calls upon interesting, colorful graphs, and charts to present the information in a way that just makes sense.

12. “The GaryVee Content Model,” Gary Vaynerchuk

This wouldn‘t be a true Gary Vaynerchuk presentation if it wasn’t a little loud, am I right?

What I like: Aside from the fact that I love the eye-catching, bright yellow background, Vaynerchuk does a great job of incorporating screenshots on each slide to create a visual tutorial that coincides with the tips. He also does a great job including a visual table of contents that shows your progress as you go .

13. “20 Tweetable Quotes to Inspire Marketing & Design Creative Genius,” IMPACT Branding & Design

We‘ve all seen our fair share of quote-chronicling presentations but that isn’t to say they were all done well. Often the background images are poor quality, the text is too small, or there isn't enough contrast.

Well, this professional presentation from IMPACT Branding & Design suffers from none of said challenges.

What I like: The colorful filters over each background image create just enough contrast for the quotes to stand out.

14. “The Great State of Design,” Stacy Kvernmo

This presentation offers up a lot of information in a way that doesn't feel overwhelming.

What I like: The contrasting colors create visual interest and “pop,” and the comic images (slides 6 through 12) are used to make the information seem less buttoned-up and overwhelming.

15. “Clickbait: A Guide To Writing Un-Ignorable Headlines,” Ethos3

Not going to lie, it was the title that convinced me to click through to this presentation but the awesome design kept me there once I arrived.

What I like: This simple design adheres to a consistent color pattern and leverages bullet points and varied fonts to break up the text nicely.

16. “Digital Transformation in 50 Soundbites,” Julie Dodd

This design highlights a great alternative to the “text-over-image” display we've grown used to seeing.

What I like: By leveraging a split-screen approach to each presentation slide, Julie Dodd was able to serve up a clean, legible quote without sacrificing the power of a strong visual.

17. “Fix Your Really Bad PowerPoint,” Slide Comet

When you‘re creating a PowerPoint about how everyone’s PowerPoints stink, yours had better be terrific. The one above, based on the ebook by Seth Godin, keeps it simple without boring its audience.

What I like: Its clever combinations of fonts, together with consistent color across each slide, ensure you're neither overwhelmed nor unengaged.

18. “How Google Works,” Eric Schmidt

Simple, clever doodles tell the story of Google in a fun and creative way. This presentation reads almost like a storybook, making it easy to move from one slide to the next.

What I like: This uncluttered approach provides viewers with an easy-to-understand explanation of a complicated topic.

19. “What Really Differentiates the Best Content Marketers From The Rest,” Ross Simmonds

Let‘s be honest: These graphics are hard not to love. I especially appreciate the author’s cartoonified self-portrait that closes out the presentation. Well played, Ross Simmonds.

What I like: Rather than employing the same old stock photos, this unique design serves as a refreshing way to present information that's both valuable and fun.

20. “Be A Great Product Leader,” Adam Nash

This presentation by Adam Nash immediately draws attention by putting the company's logo first — a great move if your company is well known.

What I like: He uses popular images, such as ones of Megatron and Pinocchio, to drive his points home. In the same way, you can take advantage of popular images and media to keep your audience engaged.

PowerPoint Presentation Examples for the Best Slide Presentation

Mastering a PowerPoint presentation begins with the design itself.

Get inspired by my ideas above to create a presentation that engages your audience, builds upon your point, and helps you generate leads for your brand.

What are Dynamic Presentations?

Dynamic presentations are presentations that have the latest, up to date information presented in a variety of highly graphic, visual pleasing ways. Instead of someone reading bullet points, the information is provided in stunning graphics and visuals, keeping your audience’s attention.

Benefits of Dynamic Presentations

  • Up to Date: Imagine when you open your presentation before you present that all the data automatically updates so you have the latest information. Sales figures, profit figures, quality ratings, web traffic, any numbers your company normally generates or accesses can be automatically updated in your presentation.
  • Less Mistakes: Have you ever started a presentation are realized some of the figures you are showing are wrong or outdated? That doesn’t happen with dynamic presentations because the presentation automatically updates itself with the latest information. Sales figures, currency conversions and all other information is automatically corrected as new data comes in.
  • Saves Time: No more manual updating of tables, charts and graphs. Let the computer do all the work for you.
  • Live Updating: You can even live update during your presentation. Imagine being able to show live, real-time social media feeds at a conference, or have your auction, donation or Kickstarter totals updating in real time.

Types of Dynamic Graphics You Can Show

You can show a range of dynamic graphics in your presentations such as:

  • Tachometers
  • Clocks & Timers

Uses for Dynamic Presentations

Here are just a few of the many ways you can use dynamic presentations:

  • when speaking in front of an audience
  • as real time information screens in your entrance, waiting room, lunch room, etc.
  • company-wide updates via PowerPoint screensavers
  • as digital menu boards in restaurants
  • advertising systems in malls or on the outside of buildings
  • event updates in conference centres
  • directional guides in large facilities
  • to automate reporting
  • creating of “dashboards” to show key metrics in your organization

Automate Reporting

Do you have to gather information from a wide range of sources and report on it weekly or monthly? Dynamic presentations let you set up the report once, then the information will automatically update each day, week or month as you choose.

How to Create Dynamic Presentations

You can easily create dynamic presentations using DataPoint . DataPoint is a PowerPoint add-on, so you are working with the world’s leading presentation tool. Here are a series of articles on how to create dynamic presentations using DataPoint.

What are the Key Factors in A Dynamic Presentation?

A dynamic presentation is engaging, interactive, and informative. It is the perfect way to engage your audience and ensure your message is communicated clearly. In order to give a dynamic presentation, there are a few key things they need you to pay attention to:

Keep it interactive

Keep your audience engaged by asking questions and inviting them to participate in discussions. This will help to make your presentation more memorable and enjoyable for everyone involved.

Use multimedia effectively

Use multimedia elements such as videos, images, and PowerPoint slides to enhance your presentation and keep people interested. However, don’t overdo it – too much multimedia can be distracting and overwhelming.

Be aware of your body language

Your body language plays a big role in how effective your presentation is. Make sure to stand up straight, make eye contact, and use your hands to gesture effectively.

Speak with confidence

It’s important to project confidence when giving a presentation. If you appear nervous or uncertain, your audience will be less likely to listen to what you have to say. Take a deep breath and relax – you’ve got this!

Practice, practice, practice!

Practice beforehand is the best way to feel confident and prepared when giving a presentation. Run through your presentation several times so that you know exactly what you’re going to say and do. This will help to ensure that everything goes smoothly on the day of your presentation.

Tips and tricks to enhance dynamic presentation

Pop your content.

A dynamic presentation is engaging, interactive, and informative. When creating content for a presentation, you want to make sure it’s dynamic. That means your presentation should be engaging, interactive, and informative. You don’t want your audience bored or lost in your material.

By showing empathy first, you can gain the trust of your audience, which will make them more receptive to your message. Then, make sure your content is interesting and relevant to your audience. No one wants to sit through a dry, dull, or irrelevant presentation. Keep your audience in mind as you’re developing your material.

It’s better to have numerous slides with one idea each than ten presentation slides with ten ideas on each. That’s too crowded, and your audience will likely be confused, especially if you’re showing charts or tables.​​

Questions are a great way to do this. Ask your audience questions throughout the presentation to ensure they’re following along and to gauge their understanding. You can also use polls or surveys to get your audience’s feedback or gauge their understanding.

And finally, don’t forget to use visuals!

Visual aids can help communicate your message more effectively in an effective presentation. They can also help break up your presentation and keep your audience engaged.

frame your story, empathize with your audience, and make it dynamic!

If you follow these tips, you’ll be well on your way to giving a dynamic presentation that will engage and inform your audience. Good luck!

We all know that humans are wired to listen to stories.

And what’s a dynamic presentation if not a story?

Your presentation should have a beginning, middle, and end. You should also have a clear introduction setting your story’s stage Your presentation should also be empathetic. Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.

Plan your delivery

After you’ve set up an empathetic and authoritative introduction, it’s time to make your presentation interactive. Once you’ve got the framing down, it’s time to focus on your delivery. There are some main ways to deliver a talk: speeches, panels, and dynamic presentations.

After you’ve set up an empathetic and authoritative introduction, it’s time to make your presentation interactive. Once the framing is down, it’s time to focus on your delivery. Some main ways to deliver a talk are speeches, panels, and dynamic presentations. You can read it directly off a script or a teleprompter.

You can develop a set of key point’s that map out what you’re going to say in each section rather than scripting the whole thing word for word. Or you can memorize your talk, which entails rehearsing it to the point where you internalize every word—verbatim. Our best and most popular TED or TEDx talks are delivered as dynamic presentations. This is because dynamic presentations are engaging, interactive, and informative.

One of our most memorable speakers was Barack Obama, who gave a dynamic presentation at our TEDx event. He was able to engage with the audience, tell stories, and dynamically make his key point. he talked about his work as a community organizer in Chicago and how that experience shaped his views on politics. He also told stories about his daughters and his wife, which humanized him and made him relatable to the audience.

Dynamic presentation, you want to focus on your delivery and ensure you’re engaging with your audience. You can do this by using facial expressions and hand gestures, making eye contact, and speaking with conviction. You also want to vary your tone and pitch to keep your audience engaged.

And finally, you want to make sure you’re prepared. This means knowing your material inside and out so you can answer any questions.

Show them the solution in your presentation.

Many great presentations have a narrative structure that loosely follows a detective story. The speaker starts by presenting a problem and then describes the search for a solution. There’s an “aha” moment, and the audience’s perspective shifts meaningfully.

If a talk fails, it’s almost always because the speaker didn’t frame it correctly, misjudged the audience’s level of interest, or neglected to tell a story. Random pontification without narrative is always deeply unsatisfying, even if the topic is important. There’s no progression, and you don’t feel you’re learning.

By following these tips, you’ll be well on your way to giving a dynamic presentation that will engage and inform your audience. Good luck!

How to Make a Dynamic Presentation?

Define Your Message: Start by clearly defining the critical message or information you want to convey in your presentation.

Choose the Right Tools: Select presentation software that supports dynamic features, such as PowerPoint, Google Slides, Prezi, or specialized tools like Adobe After Effects.

Plan Multimedia Elements: Identify which multimedia elements (videos, animations, interactive elements) will enhance your message and plan their placement in your presentation.

Design with Consistency: Maintain a consistent design theme throughout your presentation to create a polished and professional look.

Practice: Rehearse your dynamic presentation to ensure smooth transitions and flawless execution.

How to Improve Your Dynamic Slide Presentation

  • Balance Multimedia: Use multimedia elements sparingly and strategically to avoid overwhelming your audience.
  • Audience Interaction: Incorporate interactive elements like polls or Q&A sessions to engage your audience in your dynamic slide presentation.
  • Visual Storytelling: Craft a compelling narrative with a clear beginning, middle, and end, using multimedia to support your storyline.
  • Accessibility: Ensure your presentation is accessible by providing alternative formats and considering those with disabilities.
  • Continuous Learning: Stay updated on the latest dynamic slide presentation software and design trends to keep your dynamic presentations fresh and engaging.

Dynamic presentations can transform your communication and captivate your audience in ways that traditional static slides cannot. While they come with their challenges, their engagement, storytelling, and data visualization benefits make them a valuable tool in the modern world of presentations. By mastering the art of dynamic presentations and following the tips provided, you can effectively convey your message and leave a lasting impact on your audience.

Why is dynamic presentation important?

Delivering Dynamic Presentations employs a method that makes learning both easy and enjoyable. It is a no-frills run-down on how to tolerate a speaking situation. It is a program of strategies that shows what to do, when, and how to do it.

5 Tips for Creating Animations & Transitions in PowerPoint

Adding animation to your PowerPoint slideshows can greatly enhance the experience you offer through your presentation. If you’re new to PowerPoint, follow these tips to get started with animations.

1. Transition vs Object Animations

One of the first things you need to be aware of when using PowerPoint animations is the difference between transition animations and object animations.

On PowerPoint, you can animate each object you add to your slides. While this can be useful when presenting key points in a presentation, you should try to keep object animations to a minimum.

You can also add transition animations to your slides. These animations help create smoother transitions between slides.

2. Time It Perfectly

Each and every animation you add in PowerPoint can be customized to your preference by setting times for the duration of the animation as well as adding delays.

It’s up to you to experiment with different settings to find the right time and delays for your animations. Try to keep animations short and sweet.

3. Stack Multiple Animations

Another useful feature of PowerPoint animations is the ability to stack multiple animations for objects. For example, you can add both entrance and exit animations for each object on your slide by stacking different animation effects.

Stacking animations can drastically increase the duration of your slideshow presentations so use this feature only when necessary.

4. Automatic vs Controlled Animations

Controlled animations offer a great advantage when you’re delivering specific types of presentations like product reveals and feature showcases. For example, if you want to talk about key points in your speech, you can use controlled animations to reveal those points one at a time upon your mouse click or using a remote.

You can also set your animations to play automatically so they flow through your slide presentations without having to click for each slide to start.

5. Keep It Simple

Overall, you should try to keep animations to a minimum and avoid using the more flashy animations in your presentations. For example, it’s perfectly fine to add a fade-in transition effect to your slides. However, adding flashing and bouncing animations may hurt your reputation as a professional.

Stick to the simple and minimal animations to make your presentations more entertaining and easier to look at.

How-To Geek

8 tips to make the best powerpoint presentations.

Want to make your PowerPoint presentations really shine? Here's how to impress and engage your audience.

Quick Links

Table of contents, start with a goal, less is more, consider your typeface, make bullet points count, limit the use of transitions, skip text where possible, think in color, take a look from the top down, bonus: start with templates.

Slideshows are an intuitive way to share complex ideas with an audience, although they're dull and frustrating when poorly executed. Here are some tips to make your Microsoft PowerPoint presentations sing while avoiding common pitfalls.

It all starts with identifying what we're trying to achieve with the presentation. Is it informative, a showcase of data in an easy-to-understand medium? Or is it more of a pitch, something meant to persuade and convince an audience and lead them to a particular outcome?

It's here where the majority of these presentations go wrong with the inability to identify the talking points that best support our goal. Always start with a goal in mind: to entertain, to inform, or to share data in a way that's easy to understand. Use facts, figures, and images to support your conclusion while keeping structure in mind (Where are we now and where are we going?).

I've found that it's helpful to start with the ending. Once I know how to end a presentation, I know how best to get to that point. I start by identifying the takeaway---that one nugget that I want to implant before thanking everyone for their time---and I work in reverse to figure out how best to get there.

Your mileage, of course, may vary. But it's always going to be a good idea to put in the time in the beginning stages so that you aren't reworking large portions of the presentation later. And that starts with a defined goal.

A slideshow isn't supposed to include everything. It's an introduction to a topic, one that we can elaborate on with speech. Anything unnecessary is a distraction. It makes the presentation less visually appealing and less interesting, and it makes you look bad as a presenter.

This goes for text as well as images. There's nothing worse, in fact, than a series of slides where the presenter just reads them as they appear. Your audience is capable of reading, and chances are they'll be done with the slide, and browsing Reddit, long before you finish. Avoid putting the literal text on the screen, and your audience will thank you.

Right off the bat, we're just going to come out and say that Papyrus and Comic Sans should be banned from all PowerPoint presentations, permanently. Beyond that, it's worth considering the typeface you're using and what it's saying about you, the presenter, and the presentation itself.

Consider choosing readability over aesthetics, and avoid fancy fonts that could prove to be more of a distraction than anything else. A good presentation needs two fonts: a serif and sans-serif. Use one for the headlines and one for body text, lists, and the like. Keep it simple. Veranda, Helvetica, Arial, and even Times New Roman are safe choices. Stick with the classics and it's hard to botch this one too badly.

There reaches a point where bullet points become less of a visual aid and more of a visual examination.

Bullet points should support the speaker, not overwhelm his audience. The best slides have little or no text at all, in fact. As a presenter, it's our job to talk through complex issues, but that doesn't mean that we need to highlight every talking point.

Instead, think about how you can break up large lists into three or four bullet points. Carefully consider whether you need to use more bullet points, or if you can combine multiple topics into a single point instead. And if you can't, remember that there's no one limiting the number of slides you can have in a presentation. It's always possible to break a list of 12 points down into three pages of four points each.

Animation, when used correctly, is a good idea. It breaks up slow-moving parts of a presentation and adds action to elements that require it. But it should be used judiciously.

Adding a transition that wipes left to right between every slide or that animates each bullet point in a list, for example, starts to grow taxing on those forced to endure the presentation. Viewers get bored quickly, and animations that are meant to highlight specific elements quickly become taxing.

That's not to say that you can't use animations and transitions, just that you need to pick your spots. Aim for no more than a handful of these transitions for each presentation. And use them in spots where they'll add to the demonstration, not detract from it.

Sometimes images tell a better story than text can. And as a presenter, your goal is to describe points in detail without making users do a lot of reading. In these cases, a well-designed visual, like a chart, might better convey the information you're trying to share.

The right image adds visual appeal and serves to break up longer, text-heavy sections of the presentation---but only if you're using the right images. A single high-quality image can make all the difference between a success and a dud when you're driving a specific point home.

When considering text, don't think solely in terms of bullet points and paragraphs. Tables, for example, are often unnecessary. Ask yourself whether you could present the same data in a bar or line chart instead.

Color is interesting. It evokes certain feelings and adds visual appeal to your presentation as a whole. Studies show that color also improves interest, comprehension, and retention. It should be a careful consideration, not an afterthought.

You don't have to be a graphic designer to use color well in a presentation. What I do is look for palettes I like, and then find ways to use them in the presentation. There are a number of tools for this, like Adobe Color , Coolors , and ColorHunt , just to name a few. After finding a palette you enjoy, consider how it works with the presentation you're about to give. Pastels, for example, evoke feelings of freedom and light, so they probably aren't the best choice when you're presenting quarterly earnings that missed the mark.

It's also worth mentioning that you don't need to use every color in the palette. Often, you can get by with just two or three, though you should really think through how they all work together and how readable they'll be when layered. A simple rule of thumb here is that contrast is your friend. Dark colors work well on light backgrounds, and light colors work best on dark backgrounds.

Spend some time in the Slide Sorter before you finish your presentation. By clicking the four squares at the bottom left of the presentation, you can take a look at multiple slides at once and consider how each works together. Alternatively, you can click "View" on the ribbon and select "Slide Sorter."

Are you presenting too much text at once? Move an image in. Could a series of slides benefit from a chart or summary before you move on to another point?

It's here that we have the opportunity to view the presentation from beyond the single-slide viewpoint and think in terms of how each slide fits, or if it fits at all. From this view, you can rearrange slides, add additional ones, or delete them entirely if you find that they don't advance the presentation.

The difference between a good presentation and a bad one is really all about preparation and execution. Those that respect the process and plan carefully---not only the presentation as a whole, but each slide within it---are the ones who will succeed.

This brings me to my last (half) point: When in doubt, just buy a template and use it. You can find these all over the web, though Creative Market and GraphicRiver are probably the two most popular marketplaces for this kind of thing. Not all of us are blessed with the skills needed to design and deliver an effective presentation. And while a pre-made PowerPoint template isn't going to make you a better presenter, it will ease the anxiety of creating a visually appealing slide deck.

PowerPoint Animations: Animate Text, Objects, and Slides in Your Presentations

Cover for how to create PowerPoint Animations

Working with graphic assets can bring a degree of expectancy when delivering a presentation, such as in the case of PowerPoint animations. They can help add emphasis to slide content and reveal parts of the slide gradually to help presenters discuss topics sequentially. 

As a presenting software, PowerPoint provides all kinds of animations for emphasis, entrance, exit, and to create a set motion. Join us today to learn all about animations in PowerPoint and unleash your creative potential.

How PowerPoint Animations Can Benefit Presentation Design

Understanding powerpoint animation basics, types of animations in powerpoint, how to animate text on powerpoint, animating objects for visual impact, crafting seamless slide transitions in powerpoint, mastering advanced animation techniques in powerpoint, dos and don’ts of powerpoint animations, real-world use cases of animated presentation slides, recommended animated powerpoint templates, enhanced engagement and understanding through animations.

Dynamic presentations can have many benefits. The importance of such animations is often only realized by people familiar with PowerPoint. As we’ve seen in our guide on visual communication , graphical elements can make concepts more understandable. In the case of animations, we can use the transitions between slides or elements to split concepts and make them clearer.

Audience engagement is another factor, as eye-catching slides often include surprise elements hidden behind animations. These elements attract the audience’s interest and increase retention rate. In this case, animations serve as powerful presentation aids for the speaker.

Capturing Audience Attention

PowerPoint animations are more likely to capture the audience’s attention than static slides. The moving objects on-screen are the type of visuals people are likely to find attention-grabbing instead of trying to read through static slides or looking at static images. On this behalf, storytelling techniques boost their efficacy in connecting with the audience by implementing animations and transitions rather than sticking to static slides. 

Emphasizing Relationships Between Elements

Whenever we work with contrasting values, like pros and cons slides , animations help the presenter highlight areas of interest or disclose the opposite values section by section. This, in turn, structures the speech for real-time interaction with the graphical assets rather than having the audience read the slide and lose focus on the speech. 

Interactive Presentations

As mentioned before, presenters can craft compelling stories through the careful use of animations in PPT. What is often overlooked is the link between interactive presentations and animations. For instance, a speaker can deliver different outcomes of the presentation by selecting one path whose outcome is revealed through an animation. This “wow” factor induces surprise and creatively presents case scenarios.

Another option is when introducing your team in presentations. Rather than using static slides, incorporating animations gives more rhythm to the presentation and invites the public to interact with the speaker.

Getting Started with Animation in PowerPoint

To start with animations in PowerPoint, select an object you wish to animate and go to the Animations tab to choose an animation to add to the slide element. When adding animations to multiple objects in a slide, you should consider the sequence you wish to use to animate objects.

Animations tab in PowerPoint

Accessing Animation Features

When accessing animation features, you will come across various animation types. By expanding the Animations menu, you can select animations for entrance, exit, emphasis, and motion paths to create a path for your animated sequence. You can also click to instantly preview an animation for the selected object or switch to slideshow mode to see how the animation will appear.

All animation options

Adding Animations to Text and Objects

Once an animation is added to a text or object, a number is assigned. This number shows the sequence in which the object will be presented. For example, the object will be the first to be animated on screen, followed by two, three, and so on.

Sequence number for animations in PowerPoint

You can adjust the sequence of animations, triggers, and other settings from the Animation Pane in PowerPoint.

Animation pane and trigger

Timing and Sequence in Animations

The Timing menu in the Animations pane provides options to set the duration of the animation, the time to delay the animation on the screen (if necessary), and to assess if the animation starts on click, with the previous or after the last animation. How you select these animations will help you adjust the time and sequence of the animations. For example, you can use ‘ with previous’ option to show two animated objects simultaneously.

Controls for animations

Entrance, Exit, and Emphasis Animations

Some of the most commonly used animation types fall under three categories: entrance, exit, and emphasis animations.

Entrance Animations

The Entrance Animations are meant to start or introduce objects. You can explore all entrance-related animations by going to Animations -> Animation (menu) -> More Entrance Effects . This will reveal all entrance animations you can click to preview for a selected object. These often consist of basic animations with effects like appear, fly-in, float-in, strips, wheel, circle, box, dissolve-in, split, wedge, wipe, plus, diamond, checkerboard, blinds, etc. The animations can be divided into three categories: basic, subtle, and moderate. These categories help identify the type of effects in each category according to how prominent they might be on screen.

Entrance PPT animation

Exit Animations

The Exit Animations are meant to help exit a slide or animated sequence to close a topic or subtopic, or to conclude the on-screen animations for a slide. These animations are similar to the Entrance Animations with the same effects. You can use these animation types for an exit sequence using effects like blinds, circles, checkerboard, box, plus, split, wedge, wipe, diamond, dissolve out, contract, swivel, fade, zoom, basic zoom, collapse, float up, etc.

Like the Entrance Animations, you can go to  Animations -> Animation (menu) -> More Exit Effects to preview the animations and to see the three categories for basic, subtle, or moderate animations.

Exit PPT animation

Emphasis Animations

Other than basic, subtle, and moderate, the Emphasis Animations come with an additional category, ‘exciting.’ Emphasis animations in PowerPoint provide visual aids for emphasizing content within slides. The effects for these animation types in PowerPoint are also quite different from the entrance and exit-themed effects. Effects like fill color, grow/shrink, transparency, line color, teeter, color pulse, object color, desaturate, darken, lighten, blink, wave, and others can help emphasize an object within a slide to make it pop out before the audience.

Emphasis PPT animation - Emphasis Effect Animations in PowerPoint (Fill Color, Grow/Shrink, Line Color)

Exploring Motion Path Animations

If primary effects aren’t what you want, it’s time to switch to Motion Paths . These are animated effects in PowerPoint that showcase objects across a specific path. In other words, these are elaborate animations that drag objects on the screen based on a particular shape or path, such as a 4,5, 6, or 8-point star, crescent moon, circle, diamond, football, heart, octagon, pentagon, square, trapezoid, teardrop, right triangle, arc (down, right, left, up), curvy right, bounce right, etc.

Motion Paths are divided into four categories. The basic effects consist of shapes, whereas, Line Curves provide lines and curves to animated objects. Similarly, the special category contains more elaborate effects such as inverted square, loop de loop, peanut, bean, curved square, etc.

Motion Path animation

Choosing Appropriate Animation Styles

When choosing animation styles, picking a style that best resonates with your presentation slides is important. The animations’ names and categories can help you identify what might work for you. Furthermore, after adding an animation, you can go to Effect Options to view the various directions and options used to refine the animation to build your sequence further. Depending on the animation type, you can pick variations of the animation, directions, colors, transparency, points to edit or lock, or other options for selected effects. The image below shows the variations for the Wheel animation in PowerPoint via Effect Options .

Effect Options for PowerPoint Animations

Similarly, if you select Transparency from Emphasis Effects, you can choose how transparent the object will appear on the screen. Likewise, many color-themed effects enable picking a custom color to animate an object.

Transparency effects for animations

Since Motion Paths are unique, you will get options to edit points, lock paths, reverse the direction of the default animated sequence, etc.

Edit points in Motion Paths PowerPoint

Now that you know how to animate in PowerPoint, it’s time to explore making written content more interesting using animations.

Start by opening a blank PPT file and adding a placeholder text. The idea is to learn how text interacts with animation effects without working with complex graphic layouts.

Creating a placeholder text in PowerPoint

Select the text and switch to the Animations tab. In there, pick an animation effect of your preference. You will get a preview of the effect applied – which will show the number of the animation order once completed.

How to animate text in PowerPoint

Animations for text, like any other animation, can be controlled in terms of behavior by accessing the panel at the right-most section of the Ribbon.

Controls for text animation

Additionally, we can expand the animations panel to select from the different effects offered by PowerPoint.

Animating Text Elements on PPT Templates

Animating text elements to highlight key aspects of your slides can be a great way to create engaging presentations. The Animated 3D 4 Steps & Core PowerPoint Template shown below are among the Animated PowerPoint templates at SlideModel that animate objects and text elements for emphasis while retaining a clear layout.

As visible from the animated sequence from the Animation Pane in the image below, the slide deck uses animated text boxes with a mix of other slide elements to create a sequence where a four-step diagram is highlighted with supported text to help elaborate each part of the diagram in an animated sequence. We can add, remove, or modify the included effects via the Animation Pane.

Animation Pane in PowerPoint

Balancing Text Animations for Impact

By balancing text animations, you can have maximum impact when highlighting content for your slides. The animations can be triggered to start simultaneously to reveal all the text after a sequence of objects, before objects appear, or one by one to reveal the diagram contents gradually.

Linking triggers for animations

Animating Images, Shapes, and Charts

When animating shapes and images, you can use a variety of animation types for entrance, exit, and emphasis, and to make the content pop out. However, charts require subtle animations, and it’s best to use basic effects to reveal charts, such as Appear and Disappear .

The Animated Network Diagram PowerPoint Template is an example of how to animate shapes.

Animated Network Diagram PPT template

The template’s title slide reveals shapes and icons in the form of a diagram in an animated sequence.

You can also include images in such a template to customize the given diagram and animate it to reveal the image simultaneously or after a set of objects has already been revealed.

Animating pictures in PowerPoint

If you are including a chart in your slide that is to be animated, make sure the animation corresponds to other elements that might also be animated. For example, you can trigger the chart to be revealed after the slide title with a simple Appear effect. In such a case, the chart can be displayed altogether or gradually, in animated form.

How to animate a chart in PowerPoint

Applying Object Animations Strategically

When placing slide objects, you must apply the animations strategically to avoid revealing information out of sequence. Furthermore, it is also worth considering how your effects appear. For example, in the image of the diagram below, would you prefer the diagram to appear floating upward or downward? Such considerations and other vital elements, such as your branding needs, are important to ponder when setting your animated sequence.

Order PowerPoint animation options

Enhancing Presentation Flow with Transitions

While Animations for PowerPoint are one way of making your slides engaging, PowerPoint Transitions is another. You can access them via the Transitions tab in PowerPoint and apply transitions between slides.

Transitions panel in PowerPoint

While many legacy transitions provide basic effects when switching between slides, some of the more recent additions to this menu, such as Morph Transition , enable the creation of elaborate animations by using Transitions to animate your slides. The below example shows a slide with the Morph transition, giving an animated effect to the diagram.

Morph Transition PPT

Maintaining Coherence Between Slides

When applying Transitions, it is essential to maintain coherence between slides by ensuring they don’t overlap with any added Animations. To do this, you should preview your slide deck to see how it might appear once all the animated effects have been included in your slides. Like PowerPoint Animations, you can also use Effect Options for Transitions to set a sequence or direction that best suits your needs.

Transition Effect Options in PowerPoint

Layering for Complex Animation Effects

Using layers of multiple objects and slides can easily create advanced animation effects. This can be done using not only PowerPoint animations but also transitions. The Animated Pendulum Swing PowerPoint Templates from the SlideModel archive of animated templates use Transitions like Morph to create animated sequences. The below example shows a swinging pendulum created using Morph.

Animated Pendulum PPT slide

Combining and Triggering Animations

Depending on the number of elements within a slide and the animations used, you can use triggers to customize and set sequences for slide elements to animate. The example below shows the selected pendulum’s various linking options for the on-click trigger. By placing your slide objects to be connected and triggered with different parts of your slide, you can create and customize animated sequences that can be pretty attention-grabbing. 

Triggers for Animations in PowerPoint

PowerPoint Animation Painter

If you thought you had to start from scratch to animate each slide of your presentation, you are sorely mistaken. Much like the Format Painter option in PowerPoint, we can find Animation Painter , which is accessible via the Ribbon under the Advanced Animation control options.

Animation Painter in PowerPoint

This tool helps us duplicate animations between elements of the same slide or copy animation effects from one slide to another. As a format copying tool, it requires at least one animation effect to be placed otherwise the option is grayed out.

Creative Experimentation

Experimenting with Animations in PowerPoint can be pretty helpful to avoid making monotonous presentations. Experimentation does not necessarily require making slides from scratch, but you can also use ready-made templates such as the 3D animation PowerPoint Templates at SlideModel. Alternatively, some slide deck templates offer a considerable range of animation effects intended for maximum audience engagement, which users can quickly customize by editing placeholder areas for text, images, and logos.

Below is a list of do’s and don’ts of PowerPoint Animations for making presentations that best use animated effects.

Maintain Animation Moderation

It is essential to maintain moderation when using animations, as the use of too many animations on a single slide or presentation can make the content confusing.

Use of Appropriate Animations

Try to use appropriate animations for slide objects. The animation should suitably show if the object is to enter, exit, be emphasized, or be highlighted using a motion path.

Avoid Animation Overload

Avoid flashy animated sequences unless your presentation is meant for an audience that might find engaging, such as children in a classroom session.

Subtle can be Just as Engaging

Sometimes, subtle animations can be just as engaging as an animation with an elaborate effect. This can, in fact, be a better option than using animations that might be visually overpowering or difficult to follow due to elaborate effects.

Ensure Visual Consistency

As discussed earlier, it is vital to maintain consistency in using animated effects. Be it Animations or Transitions, using flashy effects or too many diverse effects can hurt how the audience perceives your content, as it might become confusing, visually overpowering, or unprofessional. In such a case, the audience might quickly lose interest in the presentation, leading to Death by PowerPoint.

Less is More

The design language of visual designs over the past decade or more has been intended to use fewer effects and graphical elements with ample space to make the interface look clean. Be it Modern UI or Material design apps, this design language has been evident across desktop and mobile UIs. Using the same concept, you can design your slides with fewer animations and graphical elements to make your content more visually appealing.

Turning PowerPoints into Millions

Courtney Allen, a professional PowerPoint designer who came out of a BFA in graphic design from Boise State University, had all but PowerPoint as a part of her portfolio. She started her freelancing career via Upwork, making over a thousand PowerPoints for clients, bringing in as many as $2 million. She suggests using simple designs and animations to make the most out of PowerPoint presentations. 

Guy Kawasaki Pitch Deck

Guy Kawasaki, a former Apple employee, whose famous 10-slide pitch deck has inspired a variety of PowerPoint templates. This rule was designed for startups and business presentations, focusing on pitching a concept to investors. While this isn’t directly related to using animations in presentations, it is an example of making the best use of minimalist content in a few slides. You can learn more about the Guy Kawasaki pitch deck from our article about the 10/20/30 rule for PowerPoint presentations .

How not to use an Animated PowerPoint Presentation in Court! 

Presentations with animations aren’t always a great idea. In 2014, a court in the United States criticized a PowerPoint presentation by the prosecutor, which led to the court throwing the case out. The presentation was made with sound effects and animations, with flashy elements like the bullseye. Some of the significant mistakes made by the prosecutor included ‘visual advocacy,’ where the defendant was marked with the word ‘guilt’ in the slide deck. Not to mention, the animated presentation seemed to be aimed at influencing the court using visual aids. Something that did not sit well with the court.

Use of PowerPoint by the US Military

The US Military has often been accused of Death by PowerPoint for preparing what some call the worst PowerPoint slides ever created. The issue became so profound that in 2011, it was revealed that an executive communications manager at Microsoft, Dave Karle, was tasked with ensuring that the US military could finally start using the software properly. After discussions with top military officials, an updated military presentation method was created, consisting of a number of presentation templates, tips, and graphics and more than 6000 map symbols. 

In this section, you can check some ready-made templates that can be easily customized for your presentation’s purposes. All these templates feature professionally made animation effects with native PowerPoint tools.

Using animations to make visually appealing and engaging presentations requires ensuring that your content corresponds with your added animated effects. It is always best to use animations in moderation and to keep your slides minimalist while unleashing your creativity as a presenter. Using ready-made PowerPoint templates can also help give you a good starting point to begin experimenting with animations and effects. This can also be useful for people new to PowerPoint Animations to explore what is doable with an animated slide deck, using animated sequences tailored for customization. 

Whether you’re using an animated template or making one from scratch, a preview in slideshow mode can save you a lot of trouble with potential issues tied to animated effects. Last but not least, using animations in PowerPoint isn’t always necessary, and you can even go for a simple slide deck with a handful of slides. What matters is that you should be aware of the information being presented, and the visual aids should be just to aid your slides and not meant to be the whole package on their own.

BluCactus - dynamic presentation

It is essential to make use of animations for PowerPoint when:

You want to make adjustments to the dynamic style

The animations must be related to the style of your presentation. So, take a good look at each element or transition you plan to choose.

Must include animated vignettes

Use them only when it is necessary to accompany the information shown on the slides. Similarly, remember that these are vignettes to provide information little by little. Through elements like this, you can grab your audience’s attention and keep them focused on a specific topic at a time.

Need an interactive PowerPoint file

Turn to animation if you want to deliver your presentation as a file with which your audience can interact. Simply export your PPT in an interactive presentation format to share via DropBox, email, or online.

How to make a dynamic presentation in PowerPoint?

You are probably new to the concept of dynamic presentation and are used to making presentations static. The good news is that making a dynamic presentation doesn’t require starting from scratch. You can transform a static presentation into a dynamic one, and here are the best tricks to do it:

Animated Graphics

Although there are many programs you can use to create dynamic presentations, you can do an excellent job in PowerPoint. To get started, if you plan to display data about your company, you can take advantage of animated data charts. Animated graphics are beneficial. Since in addition to providing dynamism, you can expose data by data without the audience being distracted when reading the data that will later be mentioned.

Besides these graphics, you can also add audio or video from Vimeo or YouTube to dynamic PowerPoint presentations. This type of content can be played automatically once the slide is reached. All without having to redirect us to the corresponding web page.

Slide Pattern

In a professional PowerPoint presentation, it is essential to respect the pattern of the slides. By this, we mean that you should add videos, placeholders, and all the necessary elements to make your presentation dynamic.

Creativity and Originality

Without these features, a dynamic presentation will be meaningless. Creativity has become a plus in creating a good marketing strategy for our company. Therefore, much must be done if a strategy like this is used.

There are many ideas to put our creativity into practice. For example, we can create a color palette directly in PowerPoint to make our slides stand out. However, we must make a good selection of colors so that later they don´t collide with the company’s corporate colors.

Related Images

This element is also critical. Imagine that your exhibition is about a clothing brand, and your images are related to cleaning products. One thing has nothing to do with the other, right?

Indeed, the images you will use in the PowerPoint dynamic slides must be related to the topic you will expose. It can be directly or through metaphors. The important thing is that we use images as resources to connect with the public and transmit the message with more power.

Public Participation

You must allow audience participation to make your PowerPoint presentation as dynamic as possible. It is an excellent formula to keep their attention. To achieve this, you can ask some direct questions to the public. Or also, you can opt for several rounds of questions so that those who wish have the opportunity to clarify certain doubts. You can add a QR code if you want to make your dynamic presentation even more eye-catching. In this way, the audience can download it through their smart devices.

How to apply animations in a dynamic PowerPoint presentation?

powerpoint presentation dynamic

Let’s see how you can apply animations in a dynamic presentation in PowerPoint with the help of a template:

Introduction Slides

For the introduction slide, you can find a variety of markers for the position of the texts. To do this, the first thing you need to do is add your own text. You can do this by highlighting another existing block of text to write over it.

If it’s a premium presentation template, you’ll be able to customize the fonts. Now when you have the text highlighted, you can find the fonts section that appears on the home tab. You can also use other effects such as bold or italic or change the font size.

When creating an animated PowerPoint presentation, you’ll probably want to check out all the available animation options . In the animation tab, you can find many elements. But it would help if you also remembered that since they are pre-animated templates, you don’t have to add animations from scratch. Generally, this advantage is not available in free PowerPoint dynamic slides.

As for the pre-made animations, you can find them by clicking on the “animations” button. This will open a sidebar where you can see a list of available effects. Before selecting an effect, you can click on the “preview” option. This way, you will find the most suitable for the animated presentation you need for your company.

Infographic Slides

Infographics should be part of any dynamic PPT presentation. Especially if you want it to be successful. This is because infographics allow you to express ideas or data more precisely. Through them, you can add individual ideas and explain each of them in order.

These types of slides are also pre-animated. Although it is worth clarifying that you do not need to use the animations as they have been included. The idea is that you can take creative control of your presentation. Indeed, in the animations tab, you can see the list of available animations. Also, you will find sections of groups that are the individual cores.

You can add the illustrations and cores one by one. This way, you can set the speed and rhythm of the exposure.

Image Slides

To use this template, you must go to the animations tab. Then click on the photo animation and then choose the effect to use. For example, there is a very simple effect known as “float in,” and it is one of the most used animations. You can use it or select an effect that provides more style.

On the left tab of the animations tab, you can also click on the dropdown menu just below the list of effects. Right in this place, you will find a menu with many striking options. Likewise, to explore each of the effects, you can click on the thumbnail of each one to apply it. The exciting thing is that this is a function with preview. And thanks to this, you can select the ideal option for your presentation.

What are the most creative and dynamic PowerPoint templates?

The goal of animated presentations is to convey all of your ideas to the audience. Whether it is a small or a large conference, you always have to strive for quality slides.

You can find many dynamic PPT presentation ideas on the web, filled with various creative options. So, you can take advantage of multiple features for creating content that makes a big impact. Here are some of the template options you can use to create successful presentations:

How to Make Animations in PowerPoint

A computer screen with a powerpoint presentation being edited

If you’re looking to make your PowerPoint presentations more dynamic and engaging, incorporating animations can be a powerful tool. In this article, we’ll cover everything you need to know to make stunning animations in PowerPoint, including understanding animation basics, adding animation to text and objects, using motion paths, timing your animations, creating custom animations, troubleshooting common animation issues, and exporting your animated presentation. So, let’s get started!

Table of Contents

Understanding the basics of animation

Before we dive into the technical aspects of creating animations in PowerPoint, let’s define what animation is. Animation is the process of adding movement to objects in your presentation to create a dynamic and engaging experience for your audience. PowerPoint offers a variety of animation effects that enable you to make objects appear, disappear, move, and change their shape or size. Understanding the basics of animation is the first step to creating stunning animations in PowerPoint.

One important aspect of animation is timing. Timing refers to the speed and duration of the animation. It’s important to consider the timing of your animations to ensure they are not too fast or too slow, and that they align with the pace of your presentation. You can adjust the timing of your animations in PowerPoint by using the “Duration” and “Delay” options.

Another key consideration when creating animations is consistency. Consistency refers to using the same animation effects throughout your presentation to create a cohesive and professional look. It’s important to choose animation effects that complement your content and message, and to avoid using too many different effects that can be distracting for your audience.

How to add animation to text

Adding animation to text can make your points stand out and grab your audience’s attention. To add animation to text, select the text box that contains the text you want to animate, then click on the “Animations” tab in the PowerPoint ribbon. Choose the animation effect you want, adjust the duration and direction of the animation, and preview the effect to make sure it achieves the desired effect. With just a few clicks, you can add dynamic movement to your text.

It’s important to use animation sparingly and strategically, as too much movement can be distracting and take away from the message you’re trying to convey. Consider using animation to emphasize key points or to add visual interest to a slide that may otherwise be text-heavy. Additionally, be mindful of the audience you’re presenting to and adjust the animation accordingly. For example, a more conservative animation may be appropriate for a professional presentation, while a more playful animation may be suitable for a creative or informal audience.

Creating animated objects in PowerPoint

If you want to animate an object on your slide, such as an image, chart, or shape, you can do that too. Start by selecting the object you want to animate, then click on the “Animations” tab and choose an animation effect. You can add multiple animation effects to one object, such as making it spin and then grow in size. Whatever effect you choose, make sure it enhances your presentation and doesn’t detract from your message.

Another important thing to keep in mind when creating animated objects in PowerPoint is to use them sparingly. While animations can add visual interest and help emphasize key points, too many can be distracting and take away from the overall message of your presentation. It’s best to use animations strategically and only when they truly enhance the content of your slides.

Adding motion paths to your slides

Motion paths are a powerful way to add movement to your objects in PowerPoint. To add a motion path, select the object you want to animate, click on the “Animations” tab, then click on “Add Animation.” Choose “Motion Paths,” and select the path you want the object to follow. You can customize the direction, duration, and speed of the motion path, giving you complete control over the animation.

Using motion paths can also help you to create more engaging and dynamic presentations. By adding movement to your objects, you can draw your audience’s attention to specific points on your slide and make your presentation more memorable. However, it’s important to use motion paths sparingly and purposefully, as too much animation can be distracting and take away from the content of your presentation.

Using entrance and exit animations effectively

Entrance and exit animations can be a great way to make objects appear and disappear from your slides in a creative way. You can choose from a variety of entrance and exit animations in the “Animations” tab, such as fade, flip, and slide. Use entrance and exit animations sparingly, as overusing them can make your presentation feel cluttered and distracting.

When using entrance and exit animations, it’s important to consider the timing and duration of the animation. A slow animation may cause your audience to lose interest, while a fast animation may be too jarring. Experiment with different timings and durations to find the right balance for your presentation.

Another tip for using entrance and exit animations effectively is to use them to highlight important information or to guide your audience’s attention. For example, you can use an entrance animation to bring attention to a key point on your slide, or use an exit animation to remove a distracting element from the screen.

Adding sound and music to your animations

If you want to take your animations to the next level, consider adding sound or music. You can add sound effects to specific animations to heighten their impact, or you can add background music to your entire presentation for a cohesive and immersive experience. You can also adjust the volume and timing of sound effects and music to complement your animations.

When adding sound or music to your animations, it’s important to consider the file format and size. Large audio files can slow down your animation and cause it to lag or freeze. To avoid this, compress your audio files. Additionally, make sure the sound or music you choose is appropriate for your audience and the message you want to convey. A jarring or mismatched sound can detract from the overall impact of your animation.

How to time your animations

Timing is critical when it comes to animations in PowerPoint. If you time your animations poorly, it can detract from your message and make your presentation feel amateurish. You can adjust the timing of your animations in the “Animations” tab by selecting an object and choosing “Effect Options.” Choose the start time, duration, and delay for your animation to ensure that it matches the flow of your presentation.

It’s important to keep in mind that timing can also vary depending on the type of animation you are using. For example, a simple fade-in animation may only need a short duration and no delay, while a more complex animation, such as a motion path, may require a longer duration and a delay to ensure that it doesn’t start too soon. Experiment with different timing options to find the right balance for each animation in your presentation.

Creating custom animations with PowerPoint

If you want to create unique and highly-customized animations, PowerPoint offers a variety of options. You can create your own custom motion paths, modify entrance and exit effects, and even use VBA code to create advanced animations. The possibilities are endless, and with a little creativity, you can make animations that truly stand out.

One of the most useful features of PowerPoint for creating custom animations is the ability to layer animations. By layering animations, you can create complex and dynamic effects that are sure to impress your audience. For example, you can have an object fly in from the left, spin around, and then fade out, all in one smooth motion. To layer animations, simply select the object you want to animate, click on the “Animations” tab, and then choose “Add Animation.” From there, you can select the type of animation you want to add, and adjust the timing and order of the animations to create the desired effect.

Tips and tricks for creating professional-looking animations

Here are a few tips and tricks to keep in mind when creating animations in PowerPoint:

  • Use animations sparingly to avoid overwhelming your audience.
  • Choose animation effects that match the tone and style of your presentation.
  • Be consistent with your animation styles throughout your presentation.
  • Use subtle animation effects to enhance your message without distracting from it.
  • Test your animations thoroughly before presenting to ensure they work as intended.

Another important tip to keep in mind when creating animations is to use high-quality images and graphics. Low-quality images can make your presentation look unprofessional and distract from your message. Make sure to use high-resolution images and graphics that are relevant to your presentation.

Additionally, it’s important to consider the timing of your animations. Animations that are too fast or too slow can be distracting and take away from your message. Take the time to adjust the timing of your animations to ensure they flow smoothly and enhance your presentation.

Troubleshooting common animation issues in PowerPoint

Despite your best efforts, you may encounter issues when creating animations in PowerPoint. Here are a few common problems and their potential solutions:

  • If your animations aren’t playing correctly, check your animation timings and ensure that your objects are properly selected.
  • If your animations are choppy or stutter, reduce the number of animations on your slide.
  • If your animations are causing your presentation to crash or run slowly, try reducing their duration or complexity.

Another common issue that may arise when creating animations in PowerPoint is the lack of consistency in animation styles throughout the presentation. To avoid this, it is important to establish a clear animation style guide and stick to it throughout the presentation. This will ensure that your animations are cohesive and enhance the overall visual appeal of your presentation.

Exporting your animated PowerPoint presentation

Once you’ve created your stunning animations in PowerPoint, you’re ready to share them with the world. You can export your presentation as a video or PowerPoint show, allowing you to share your animations in a variety of formats. Simply click on the “File” tab, choose “Export,” and select your desired format.

Animation is a powerful tool for making your PowerPoint presentations more dynamic and engaging. By following these tips and tricks, you can create stunning animations that enhance your message and captivate your audience. Whether you’re creating a business presentation, a school project, or a personal slideshow, incorporating animations can take your presentation to the next level.

Genially in a nutshell

How do I make a presentation interactive and how does Genially work? Find the answers to all of your slide-related questions here!

What’s an interactive presentation?

Interactive slides contain clickable hotspots, links, buttons, and animations that are activated at the touch of a button. Instead of reading or watching passively, your audience can actively interact with the content.  

Genially’s interaction presentation software allows you to combine text, photos, video clips, audio and other content in one deck. It’s a great way to condense more information into fewer slides. 

If you’re a teacher, you can share multiple materials in one single learning resource. Students can create their own projects using digital media and online maps. For business or training, try embedding spreadsheet data, PDFs, and online content directly in your slides. 

An interactive slide deck is more user-friendly than a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation or Google Slides document. That’s because you can break information down into chunks with pop-ups, labels, voiceovers and annotated infographics.  

The other benefit of interactive content is increased engagement. It’s easier to keep your audience’s attention when they’re actively participating. Try Genially’s presentation software and free slideshow maker to see how it’s better than other presentation websites. You won’t go back to standard presentation apps!

How do you make a clickable slide?

The best way to make slides clickable is to use Genially’s free interactive presentation program. Design your slide then apply an interaction. In a couple of clicks, you can add popup windows, hyperlinks, close-up images, games, animations, multimedia and other content. 

Choose from the library of hotspot buttons and icons to show people what to click on. Go to Presenter View to get a preview and see how your content will appear to your audience.

How do I create presentations that look professional?

You’ve got a deadline looming and you’re staring at the screen with a blank presentation. We’ve all been there! Starting a presentation design from scratch is tricky, especially if you’re short on time. 

Genially’s free online presentation maker has over 2000 ready-to-use templates for professional slide presentations, photos slideshows, and more. Each slide design has been created by our team of top graphic designers. No need to worry about fonts, centering images, or designing a matching color scheme. It’s all done for you. 

Start by browsing our layouts and themes for education, business and then customize with your own text and images.

How do I share or download my slides?

Because Genially is a cloud based presentation software, you can simply share the link to your slides. Like other online presentation tools, there are no files to download or store on your computer. Everything is saved online.  

When you publish your slide deck, it gets its own unique url, just like a website. Share the link with others to let them explore the content in their own time. If you’re presenting live, just click the Present button. 

You can also embed your presentation on your website, company wiki, or social media. Genially is compatible with WordPress, Moodle, Google Classroom, and other platforms. If you use an LMS, you can also download your interactive design slides in SCORM format.

For slideshow videos and slideshows with music, share online or download as an MP4 video. Check out our free slideshow templates for ideas.

Can I make a free presentation in Genially?

You bet! Genially is an easy-to-use slide maker, with a free version and paid plans. The free plan allows you to create unlimited slides with interactions and animations. Subscribe to one of our paid plans for more advanced features.
