We will then explore how you can animate them all at the same time.

The other day a friend asked me how she could add a trigger animation to a slide object, but with a difference! She inserted a picture on a slide (let’s call this Picture 1) and then placed another picture of the exact same size over the first one (let’s call this Picture 2). She then wanted to click Picture 2 to cause a trigger animation on Picture 1. This caused Picture 1 to be revealed, almost like the example explained in our Trigger Animations in PowerPoint. However, what she wanted next was to click on Picture 1 to reveal Picture 2.

An interactive PowerPoint presentation always interests audiences since it gets them involved actively navigating the slides. However, audiences for whom these interactive slides are intended must be aware that some interactivity has been included so that they can click a slide object to cause an action to happen. With trigger animations, you click on a PowerPoint shape (or even an Action Button or any other slide object) to cause an audio or video clip on the same slide to play, pause, resume, or even stop.
