Moreover, huge animations only occupies more space in your PowerPoint presentation file which in turn, makes the file take a longer time to download. And if the file takes a long time to download, it only makes the audience lose their patience in the middle of the presentation. You can find lots of animation features in PowerPoint that provides great impact to run-of-the-mill slides. There are motion paths which provide trigger effects where it is possible to add two animation behaviors to one object which rivals all other complex animation software.

Motion path animation helps you describe the movement of an object on a path while making a presentation. With this, the presentation is much clearer and adds more meaning to the presentation. With the addition of motion path animation to other animation like scaling and rotating, you get both wonderful and useful results. These presentations are best in the presentation of driving classes where you can show the anticipated action of two vehicles to the students of the driving class. It is also possible to shrink and enlarge animations wherein the movement of the vehicle is projected when it moves to and from the slide.

Trigger effects are great for PowerPoint presentations as you can turn an object on a slide into an action button. When clicked on, the button triggers the object to give an animation effect and is best used when two objects are related to each other. It can be used to show the relation of the effects of water on flowers by showing a flower being watered, and with this watering, the flower growing in size. It is also great for making the answers for quizzes appear where on displaying a question on a slide, the answer appears on its side when the button is clicked on.

Use animation and music in the PowerPoint presentation to add some pizzazz to the presentation. Use your creativity to get new ideas and techniques that could be used to add to your portfolio of PowerPoint presentations.
