Loops are like buses. You wait ages for one then a bunch of them arrive at the same time! In our last looping article you discovered how to create infinite Motion Paths in PowerPoint. Now you’re going to learn a simple technique to loop sequences of animations in PowerPoint.

Animation effects in presentations aren’t just decorative, they’re a great way to pace your content so you can explain your story step-by-step. We’ve got lots of articles about how to use simple animations effectively (like this beginner’s guide to Morph and this introduction to PowerPoint animation ), but today we’re going to look at something a little more sophisticated. Sometimes you might want to play a sequence of animation effects in a loop, over and over again to illustrate a particular point. PowerPoint allows you to loop a single animation effect but not a sequence of multiple effects. Our neat hack solves that limitation and, as an added bonus, gives you a warm fuzzy sensation because you know loops inside out.

How to loop one animation effect in PowerPoint

Let’s start at the very beginning as I’ve heard it’s a very good place to start! If you’re sitting there thinking, ‘Hang on a second, I have no idea how to loop a single animation!’ – fear not! Take a look at the slide below. Let’s say you wanted the computer icon in column E to blink repeatedly until you move to the next slide.

To do this you would add the Blink emphasis effect from the Animations tab ( Animations > Add Animation > More Emphasis effects… ). Then open the Animation Pane , right click on the blink animation you just added and select Effect Options . Then set up the animation as follows:

How to loop a sequence of animation effects in PowerPoint

Okay, one animation successfully looped! But what would you do if you wanted a sequence of animation affects to play in a specified order and then repeat, as in this example:

This is just one PowerPoint slide with a fairly complex animation sequence used to show the production line process. This is what the Animation Pane looks like:

You can download this file to see how the animation sequence was created: Download looping animation file . What we want to do now is to set this whole sequence to repeat until the next slide. How? With our audio bookmark hack!

Hover your mouse over the last animation effect in the sequence and make a note of the time it ends. In our example, it’s 13.5 seconds.

Record a sound file that’s a bit longer than the time you just noted down. This may seem odd but stick with it! To do this, go to the Insert tab in PowerPoint and – way over on the right-hand side of the ribbon – click Audio followed by Record Audio .

Top tip: Name your recording using the target time so you remember when to stop recording!

If you want, you can mute your microphone. Otherwise, keep completely silent and press the record button. Wait until the recording is the right length, then press the stop button.

Wait! Hold the phone. Why are we telling you to record a silent audio file?! All will become clear.

Select your new audio file then set it up in the Playback tab as follows:

• Click Add Bookmark (this will add a bookmark at 0 seconds)
• Click Volume > Mute
• Click Start > Automatically
• Click Loop until Stopped
• Click Hide During Show

Your audio file options should now look like this:

Finally, click the Trim Audio button and set the End Time to the exact time you want the animation sequence to repeat. In our example, the sequence lasts 13.5 seconds so we’ll set the audio end time to 14.00 seconds.

Open the Animation Pane (download our free quick access toolbar customisation for Windows or macOS to open the Animation Pane with just one click). Then select the first animation effect in the sequence, hold down the shift key and select the last effect in the sequence. With the whole sequence selected, go back to the Animations tab and in the Advanced Animation group, click the Trigger menu followed by On Bookmark and then Bookmark 1 .

And you’re done! You should now see two zones in the Animation Pane. The top part in the main timeline sequence just has the audio file in it, set to start automatically and repeatedly fire its single bookmark trigger event every 14 seconds. The main animation sequence has moved to what’s known as the interactive or trigger sequence. This sequence will now start every time the bookmark in the audio file is reached.

And as the audio file is set to loop until you advance the slide, the animation sequence will repeat from when you start the Slide Show until you move to the next slide or quit the show. And it doesn’t stop there. Imagine what effects you could achieve by adding different sequences to different audio files with multiple bookmarks. One audio file triggering another that triggers a sequence of effects that triggers another audio file. Welcome to mind-blowing PowerPoint that makes your brain ache and your heart sing! No? Just us then!

Absolutely brilliant! Thank you for sharing

Thank you very much, It’s very useful.

Very useful. Worked like a charm

Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge!

Brilliant! Thank you so much

Thank you – works like a charm. I would never have thought that I’ve have to record an audio to make a animation loop!

Great idea!

had to repeat list of animations on a slide – this works perfect! Thanks much for sharing

It doesn’t loop. It just plays once even though I have “loop until stopped selected”. I applied all the steps you suggested. What am I doing wrong?

I’m having the same problem! I’ve followed this guide a few times with no problems but this time I just can’t get it to work.

The most bizarre thing is that a previous slideshow I did still works perfectly and I’ve compared all the settings and all the checkboxes and they all match. But the new slideshows just repeat once and stop. Very annoying. I suspect there’s been an ‘improvement’ by Microsoft – that’s normally what breaks useful things in the office apps!

It seems that in current versions of Office 365 there is a strange bug. I just ran into the same problem, but I figured out its cause and a solution. Here’s how:

Apparently, PowerPoint adds a slide transition timer when you add the audio. It is set so the exact duration of the audio. So when the loop is ready to repeat the transition kicks in and switches to the next slide. To solve it just go to the Transitions tab and clear the check box next to the slide timer (usually the last item on the ribbon).

Works perfectly! I looked for this option for a while and finally learned how to do it. It is explained easily step by step.

Thank you so much.

Where in the heck is the Playback tab? I recorded the video but it’s nowhere to be seen. Clicking it in the Animation pane just brings up Animation options. Why do these articles skimp on screenshots? Be better for us dumb ones.

Found it–have to select the “recording” icon dead center in the slide. Missed it because I had assets masking it. Seriously–screenshots are signposts for your readers. Shouldn’t have to explain that for technical content.

All the options I need to do this are greyed out. How do I make them so I can actually click on them?

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 .

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 

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.

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.

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.

Advanced animation in PowerPoint. Read some techniques and tips.

The trick with advanced animation in PowerPoint presentations is to get the balance right. Too little or too samey and the slides become boring and repetitive. Too much can slow down your delivery and dilute your message. Correctly used advanced animation techniques in PowerPoint can give your deck real zing and make it really entertaining and engaging.

PRO TIP: if you have a lot of objects then before adding advanced animation, open the Selection Pane to name your objects. This will help you to keep everything in order:

Which advanced animation techniques should you use, and how do you apply them?

It’s all sequential.

Adding a sequence of different animations, from simple entry to more complex motion paths, can create some amazing effects without the need to click through. Open up the Animation Pane and use a judicial mix of On Click, With Previous or After Previous. The Delay function is also worth exploring.

Lather, rinse, repeat

Repeating an animation is a simple way to highlight a key piece of information. You might add a motion path to an arrow to repeatedly point to certain graphical elements, numbers etc. You can have objects moving in the background of a design to bring the design to life for the duration of the slide. To set any animation to repeat, go to the Animation Pane and apply an animation. Then you will need to right click on the animation and go into the options for Timing. There you can set how many times you want it to repeat or to set it to repeat continuously until the slide ends.

Gotta bounce

A hidden gem in the animation world is the “bounce”. It is a nifty effect that can be applied at the end of a motion path – instead of slowing to a halt, the animated object bounces a little. It may sound like nothing, and it is subtle but it can look very slick, especially when combined with Auto Reverse, which simply moves the object back to its starting point.

Feeling triggered

We love triggers here at Presented. But what is a trigger animation? To put it simply, you add an animation to one object and then add a trigger to a second object which activates the animation on the first. For example, you might have a number of textboxes you want to open and close in a particular order whilst staying on one slide, or you might create an interactive map and want to be able to highlight sectors separately. You need to create buttons and add triggers which open and close the textboxes or bring in the required data. Make sense? Perhaps a short video of interactive features in PowerPoint will help here:

Let’s talk about Morph

The Morph transition allows you to move from slide to slide with smooth animation, creating the illusion of movement. Try it! Add some objects to a slide, and put some off the artboard too. Duplicate the slide, add the Morph transition and drag the objects around, on and off the artboard. Now, go back to the first slide and play the Slide Show to see how the objects animate. Cool bananas? It looks like you’ve used advanced animation techniques, but you’ve simply selected a clever transition. There are lots of videos on YouTube about Morph, here is a good example .

Frequently Asked Questions:

What are advanced animation techniques, and why are they important in PowerPoint presentations? Advanced animation techniques refer to using features like motion paths, triggers, and repeats to add dynamic and engaging elements to PowerPoint presentations. They are crucial because they help avoid monotony, making presentations more entertaining and memorable.

How can I effectively apply advanced animation techniques in PowerPoint presentations? To effectively apply advanced animation techniques, start by using a combination of animations. Utilise the Animation Pane to sequence animations and adjust timing. Remember to maintain a balance between animation and content clarity.

What is a trigger animation, and how can it enhance my PowerPoint presentation? A trigger animation allows you to activate an animation on one object by interacting with another object. For example, you can use triggers to open and close text boxes in a specific order. By adding interactivity, trigger animations make presentations more engaging and interactive.

How can the Morph transition feature elevate my PowerPoint presentation? The Morph transition feature in PowerPoint allows for smooth animations between slides, creating the illusion of movement. By simply rearranging objects between slides and applying the Morph transition, you can achieve sophisticated animations without extensive manual work. This feature adds a polished and professional touch to your presentation, enhancing its visual appeal and impact.

Let’s Talk About Advanced Animations in PowerPoint

by getmygraphics | PowerPoint Graphics , PowerPoint Tips | 1 comment

There are two distinct classes of presentation makers who create animations in PowerPoint: basic, and advanced. You can choose to add a simple transition to a slide and a mediocre pulse animation on an object, or you can spice up your presentations with advanced animation techniques. I will show you 4 advanced techniques that should always be taken into account while animating objects in PowerPoint.

1. Repeating Animations:

Repeating animations is a clever and subtle way to drive home ideas and bring attention to important ideas. Setting objects to repeat can also be an aesthetic decision. You can easily design a circle to move on a motion path and set to repeat, giving life to a background or theme that ends when the slide is advanced. To set an animation to repeat (whether it be a motion path or not), apply an animation and then open the Animation Pane. Next, you will need to right click on the specific animation and go to Timing. From there you can decide how many times for it to repeat or to continue repeating until the end of the slide.

2. Bounce Effect/Auto Reverse:

The bounce effect is one that isn’t used very often because a lot of people don’t know what it does or even notice that it is happening. The bounce effect is an effect that can be applied to the end of a motion path. Meaning that instead of just slowing down and stopping towards the end of the path, the object will fluctuate a little before finishing its path. This may not seem like an advanced feature or function of an animation, but the look and feel of any animation can easily be tweaked by applying this simple end-animation. To apply this ending animation, simply go to the object with the motion path you wish to apply it to. Then, right click on the animation in the Animation Pane and move the scroll bar associated with the Bounce End text. The more time that you apply here, the more prominent and lengthy the fluctuation will be.

The Auto Reverse option works very well with the Bounce Effect. The Auto Reverse feature will return the object to which it is applied back to its point of origin. In short, the object will move backwards on its motion path to where it started. When applied with the Bounce Effect, the transition between a forward motion and a reverse motion is literally seamless. To apply this option, go back to the Animation Pane and check the box right below the Bounce End scroll bar which says Auto-Reverse.

3. Animation Sequencing:

Animation sequencing is simply the stringing together of multiple animations (whether it be simple, advanced, motion paths, and/or something in between). You can create awesome animations that work by themselves without the need for a user to constantly click the mouse or spacebar. The possibilities are literally endless when it comes to the amount of different animations you can tie together. Sequencing is a great way to give variety to your presentations (this is a lifesaver for all those who present for a living). When creating sequences of animation, the Animation Pane will be your best friend. Make sure that the first animation in the sequence is activated by a click and the animations following are activated when the previous animation finishes. When you want to create a complex motion path that contains multiple path animations, make sure that in the Effect Options you set the Origin to be Unlocked. This will allow you to move the path without moving the object. Which means you can have multiple paths hooked to the same object. If the Origin is Locked, every time you move the path the object will follow. This means that you can not apply multiple paths to a singular object (because the object will want to follow every path applied to it, a common problem when sequencing).

4. Start Animations with a Trigger:

When we think of PowerPoint, we usually don’t associate it with being able to work with triggers similar to popular eLearning authoring tools like Storyline or Adobe Captivate. But PowerPoint does allow for simple trigger actions to start an animation when an object (or button for a more universal term) is clicked. This option gives you countless possibilities when it comes to presenting information in a spectacular and different manner. To use an object as a button, you need to have an object with an animation applied to it and another object on the canvas that you can select as your trigger. In the Animation Pane, right click on the animated object and then select Timing. From there, find the button that says Start Effect On Click Of. Once you select that, you can choose any object from the list you want to act as the button. The object needs to be on the current canvas, it cannot be located anywhere else in the project. The triggers are simple in PowerPoint, but they allow you to do some really cool things nonetheless.

Here is the source file that is connected with the GIFs in the blog . You can check out how I got everything to run the way I did. And hopefully it gives you some cool ideas on how to incorporate these advanced techniques into your next project. And if it doesn’t, here is an infographic template from the GetMyGraphics library that I animated using some of the techniques I mentioned in this blog. Anything is possible! Now get creating!

Thank you for sharing this – especially the GIF file – it really helped me to understand how to do it. It always amazes me how little of the potential of PowerPoint we are actually aware of – the possibilities are endless!

How to make a GIF loop endlessly in Microsoft PowerPoint

I need to make animated GIFs loop in Microsoft PowerPoint but when I present the slideshow the GIFs are static do not animate. I have looked for ways to change this behaviour but the advice is often to download specific software. Is there a way I can make a GIF animated in PowerPoint?

• microsoft-powerpoint
• animated-gif

3 Answers 3

First, ensure you are inserting the GIF the way Microsoft recommends . This method is relevant for PowerPoint 2016, PowerPoint 2013 and PowerPoint 2010.

Select the slide that you want to add the animated GIF to.

In the Insert tab of the ribbon, click Pictures .

In the Insert Picture dialog box, navigate to the location of the animated GIF you want to add.

Select the file, and then click Insert or Open .

To play the animation, click the Slide Show view button on the task bar in the bottom bar of the PowerPoint window.

If your GIF does not loop or animate endlessly (i.e. it only loops once or a limited amount of times), then this might be because the internal setting of the GIF is only set to a limited number of animations ( source ). You will have to modify the GIF to change how many times the GIF loops. Microsoft recommends the online editor called https://ezgif.com/ . Detailed instructions are here .

If your gif is set to loop then it will loop. Your comment about downloading is irrelevant.

Just create your gif as an animated gif with looping.

If the picture is from the internet, make sure to download it, then import it into the pp. Copy/paste from your browser to the slide won't preserve the looping animation.

In a custom show how can I repeat specific slides a set number of times in PowerPoint 2010

I want to follow the instructions below:

Note: You have to have slide #1 separate from the repeated set since it starts the music. If you include it in the repeating set it restarts the music each time it's show. The same goes for the final slide, it stops the music, so it must be shown only once at the end after the repeating set."

How do I create a "slideset multiple times"?

There's no way I know  to AUTOMATICALLY repeat sets of slides in a  custom show. You would need to add them manually.

Slide Show > Custom show > New

Sel;ect slide 1 > Add

Select slides 2 - xx and add

add the same slides again (9 times)

Select Last slide and add

The only way I know how to repeat a loop for a fixed number of times is to install an event handler add-in and write VBA to count the number of loops. It's a lot of work.

However, you can get a similar effect by creating 2 presentations. One presentation is the main one with non-looping slides. In this presentation, on the slide where you want to move into the loop, you add an action button that hyperlinks to the second presentation: Insert>Shapes>Action Buttons. Choose the  Mouse Click  tab of Action Settings, select  Hyperlink to : and choose  Other PowerPoint Presentation...  , then select the second presentation and the starting slide in it.

The second presentation is looped in the conventional way (Slide Show>Set Up Slide Show>Check "Loop continuously until 'Esc'".

You'll start presenting in the first presentation, click the action button to enter the loop and use the ESC key to leave the loop and return to the slide in the main presentation that has the action button.

Hi John 'K',

Thanks for taking the time to give me this advice.

I have tried what you suggested but the music stops as soon as the embedded presentation begins. I know that if I put music into this presentation it will start again every time that it returns to slide one.

It's driving me demented! I guess that it cannot be done without having multiple slides that are simply duplicates of earlier ones but it defeats the object of the exercise.

I have tried the custom show but that doesn't really solve the problem - unless I am doing it incorrectly.

Good morning John 'W',

Thanks also for replying to my question.

As I have said to the other John, I have tried to use the 'Custom Show' method but I cannot get it to work any differently to the  ordinary presentation.

Am I doing something wrong?

You haven't explained exactly what you did which makes it hard to advise you1

My guess though is you either didn't set the music to play across slides OR you didn't set "Set Up Show" to play the custom show.

Once again thank you for your help so far.

I think the best thing to do would be to start over because my presentation is behaving very strangely when I make changes now!

I feel that I have done everything that I should have done (or suggested that I do) but I still cannot get the presentation to behave as I would like.

If I tell you what I want to do/achieve would you be able to give me a step by step guide as you did with the Custom show?

So ... The presentation is to be used when the children come into assembly and later as they leave. The time taken depends upon a number of variables which is why I need the show to continue until such time as all the assembly is ready to begin. I was going to have a number of slides so that additional information would be available to the children as they listened to the music.

I have two slides (currently) and one piece of music. I want to be able to play the slide show so that these two slides loop continually with the piece of music until the escape key is pressed.

Thanks again for your help.

As well as the two "Info" slides you need a start slide to hold the music.

Creat this slide as slide 1

Add The music and set it to "Play Across Slides" (Where is says Play "on click" in the ribbon change to "Play across slides"

Slide Show > Custom Shows>  Custom Show > Add New

Select slide 1 (with the music and add

select the other two (or more) slides and add

now add the two slides again and do this until you are sure they will play for more time than you need.

Make sure all slides have an auto transition

Slides > Set up show > Show Slides > Custom show1
