Ever struggled to keep your audience focused on the right bullet point? With this simple PowerPoint trick, you easily can. This tutorial reveals how to apply a professional fly-in and dim effect to your presentation slides. Discover how to animate individual text lines within a single placeholder and set previous points to gracefully fade to a grey colour as you progress. Stop losing your audience's attention to a wall of static text and start guiding their focus exactly where you want it.
Ideal for those looking to streamline workflows and make more effective use of Microsoft 365 applications.
- Animate individually: Learn why and how to apply animations to single bullet points rather than animating the entire placeholder at once.
- Control direction: Configure the fly-in animation effect options so that your text enters smoothly from the left side of the slide.
- Access advanced tools: Locate and open the Animation Pane to view, manage, and fine-tune all the effects applied in your presentation.
- 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.
- Apply in bulk: Select multiple animations within the Animation Pane to quickly apply the dimming effect to several bullet points simultaneously.
