In this PowerPoint how-to video, Jole Simmons shows us how to think like a film director and add a cinematic focus shift in our slides. He shows how to “pull focus” from one subject to the next by using the Morph transition. By adjusting the blur and moving elements, Jole creates the illusion of zoom and focus.
This video is an excerpt from Jole’s “Animation in PowerPoint” session at CreativePro Week 2024.
