In one of our previous tutorials, you learned what animation is (and where you should draw the limits as far as animation goes). In this tutorial, let us get started with showing you how many types of animation effects are available within PowerPoint 2010. When we say "many types", we do not mean the animation effects themselves but the several types wherein these effects can be categorized.
All animation in PowerPoint can be divided into four types:
In addition, you also have the concept of trigger animations, where an action on one object triggers an animation on another object. Hence the name Trigger animation. We'll cover Trigger animations in a subsequent tutorial. For now, let us tell you more about the entrance, emphasis, exit, and motion path animations.
What's important to realize is that the same slide object can have all four animation types added to it and set to play one after the other (or even at the same time in some instances) -- this sort of sequencing is controlled by animation events such as On Click, With Previous, and After Previous. We'll explain these animation events in detail in a Animation Events tutorial. Another concept that you need to know is how to control the speed of an animation -- this is explained in our Animation Speed tutorial.
