You can crop pictures in PowerPoint, and of course you can animate them. But as you may observe frequently in life, synergy yields results that exceed the mere sum of two or more initiatives. And that’s true in a way for the technique we will explore on this page, we call this Slice and Animate. The two techniques being used for this synergy are cropping pictures and adding animation.

Adding an animation to any slide object imparts movement of some sort to that object, and draws the attention of the audience to that object. Of course, you can tweak the animation event, the speed of the animation, and also the delay time before the animation happens. In this tutorial, we’ll explore how you can add sound to an animation.

Let’s imagine you got your animation just right. You tweaked the speed and set the animation event. You also added a series of simultaneous and sequential animations to the same slide object, so that it fades and wipes at the same time; then it grows in size, stays on screen without animation for a requisite amount of time using a delay, and finally, the object exits using a simple fade animation. Now, you need to apply the same animation to 50 other slide objects within the presentation! The Animation Painter can help.
