Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 : Animating Slide Content (part 3) - Setting Animation Event Triggers, Associating Sounds with Animations, Making an Object Appear Differently after Animation

11/23/2012 5:49:53 PM

10. Setting Animation Event Triggers

Animation event triggers tell PowerPoint when to execute an animation. By default, an animation occurs as part of the normal animation sequence, using whatever settings you have assigned to it, such as On Click, With Previous, or After Previous.

When you set an animation to On Click, the click being referred to is any click. The mouse does not need to be pointing at anything in particular. In fact, pressing a key on the keyboard can serve the same purpose.

If you want an animation effect to occur only when you click something in particular, you can use a trigger to specify this condition. For example, you may have three bullet points on a list, and three photos. If you want each bullet point to appear when you click its corresponding photo, you can animate each bullet point with the graphic object as its trigger.

NOTE

There is a small complication in the preceding example: You can have only one trigger for each object, and in this case, object means the entire text placeholder. Therefore, if you want to animate bullet points separately with separate triggers, then you need to place each of them in a separate text box.

To set up a trigger, do the following:

  1. On the Animation pane, click the effect whose timing you want to set.

  2. Choose Animations => Trigger => On Click Of and then click the object that should be used as the trigger for that event. See Figure 8.

Figure 8. Choose a trigger object for the selected animation event.

Here's an alternative method:

  1. On the Animation pane, right-click the effect whose timing you want to set and choose Timing. The Timing tab appears.

  2. Click the Triggers button. The controls for setting up a trigger appear on the Timing tab, as shown in Figure 9.

  3. Select the Start Effect on Click Of option, and then open the drop-down list and select an object. All of the objects on the slide appear in this list.

  4. Click OK.

NOTE

Do not trigger the entrance of an object on Click Of itself, or there will be no way to make it appear.

Figure 9. You can also set up a trigger via the Timing tab.

11. Associating Sounds with Animations

Associating a sound with an animation effect is different because the sound plays when the animation occurs, not necessarily when the object appears or is clicked. By default, animation effects do not have sounds assigned, but you can assign a sound by doing the following:

  1. In the Animation pane, select the animation effect to which you want to assign a sound. Then open the drop-down list for the effect, and choose Effect Options.

  2. On the Effect tab (see Figure 10), open the Sound drop-down list and choose a sound. You can choose any of the sounds in the list, or you can choose Other Sound to select a sound file from another location. (Only WAV files can be used for this.)

    OR

    To make a previously playing sound stop when this animation occurs, choose Stop Previous Sound from the Sound drop-down list.

Figure 10. Choose a sound to be associated with the animation.

12. Making an Object Appear Differently after Animation

After an object has been animated, you might want to have it appear differently on the slide. For example, after some text animates, you might want it to be dimmed. To set this up, follow these steps:

  1. In the Animation pane, select the animation effect. Then open the drop-down list for the effect, and choose Effect Options.

  2. Open the After Animation drop-down list and choose one of the following options, as shown in Figure 11:

    • A scheme color: You can choose one of the colored squares, which represent each of the current scheme colors.

    • More Colors: Click here to choose a specific color, just as you would for any object. For example, you can set text to gray to make it appear dimmed.

    • Don't Dim: This is the default setting; it specifies that PowerPoint should do nothing to the object after animation.

    • Hide After Animation: This setting makes the object disappear immediately after the animation finishes.

    • Hide on Next Mouse Click: This setting makes the object disappear when you click the mouse after the animation has completed. For example, this is useful for showing and then hiding individual bullet points.

  3. Click OK.

Figure 11. You can choose a color for the object after animation, or specify that it should be hidden afterward.
