Animation is movement and fine art at the same time. Using animation’s powerful capabilities of attracting attention, you can effectively illustrate a concept, a process, or anything else. However, there’s a thin dividing line between mere movement and utter confusion. Imagine a training session where the presenter moves around the room explaining a concept. As he or she moves, the eyes of the audience members follow him or her. There is a clear focus in the room, and the subject of that focus is the presenter. Now imagine another situation where the presenter and all the audience members in the room start moving in disparate directions just for the sake of movement. At this point in time, the movement has given way to chaos. The distinction between movement and chaos works similarly on PowerPoint slides. At any point in time, the movement needs to have focus and direction, and more importantly, a reason to move!

Once you add animation to any slide object, you can set its animation speed and choose an animation event. Other than speed and event, you can also alter the delay caused before the animation actually starts. So why would you add a delay? There are several reasons and primarily a delay can be beneficial if you want to maintain a time limit between two animations — as in having the second animation occur 10 seconds after the first one has started/concluded.

The main advantage of the Advanced Timeline in PowerPoint is to edit the timing and sequencing of your animations. You can easily control the start time, duration, and end time of your animation to the most minute level. In addition, you can also animate any slide object very slowly to span over a whole minute or more by just dragging the start and end-points of any animation bar outwards in the timeline.
