Video • 4 minutes

Learning Objectives

  1. Animate individually: Learn why and how to apply animations to single bullet points rather than animating the entire placeholder at once.
  2. Control direction: Configure the fly-in animation effect options so that your text enters smoothly from the left side of the slide.
  3. Access advanced tools: Locate and open the Animation Pane to view, manage, and fine-tune all the effects applied in your presentation.
  4. Create a dim effect: Use the "after animation" enhancement settings to change a bullet point's colour to light grey once you have finished discussing it.
  5. Apply in bulk: Select multiple animations within the Animation Pane to quickly apply the dimming effect to several bullet points simultaneously.
