How to Create Focus with Animation in PowerPoint
Learn how to create focus on a topic or bullet point by creating simple fade-in animation in PowerPoint.
In this PowerPoint how-to video, Ingrid Mengdehl shows how to create focus on a topic or bullet point by creating simple fade-in animation. In addition to fading in specific information, she adds an overlay to bring the other info out of focus. The animation used doesn’t detract from the main purpose of the example value proposition slide, but simply draws the viewer’s eye where you want.
This video is an excerpt from Ingrid’s session at our Design + PowerPoint Summit 2023. Check out this and all of our events on our events page.
