Multimedia Presentation
• You can transform a slide show into a
multimedia presentation by animating text
and objects, adding transitions between
slides, and adding sounds and movie
clips.
• You can set PowerPoint to play associated
sounds and movies automatically when
the slide containing them is displayed, or
you can play them manually

Animating Slides
• You can make a slide show more attractive by
animating the text and graphics
– You can apply text animations so that the text
appears on the screen one paragraph, word, or letter
at a time.
– If a slide has more than one level of bullet points, you
can animate different levels separately.
– You can animate objects, such as shapes.
– You can change the order of appearance of text or
shapes.
– You can animate charts created with Microsoft Graph
or imported from Microsoft Excel

Animating Slides
• The easiest way to
apply animation
effects to a slide show
is to use Animation
Schemes in the Slide
Design task pane,
• Animations divided
into three categories:
– Subtle
– Moderate, and
– Exciting
5
Adding Transition Effects
• Transition effects the way one slide replaces another.
• A slide transition is the visual effect of a slide as it moves
on and off the screen during a slide show.
• Transitions include such effects as sliding, dissolving in,
or opening like a vertical blind etc.
• Each slide can have only one transition.
• You can set transitions for slides one at a time.
• You can also specify the following:
–
–
–
–
The transition’s speed
The sound of the transition
The direction of the transition
When the transition takes place

Inserting and Playing Sounds
and Movies
• That information can be
in the form of text,
graphics, charts, and
tables, but it might also
consist of sounds and
movie clips.
• You can insert sounds
and movies by clicking
the Insert Media Clip
button in the content
placeholder.
7
Recording a Narration
• If you are creating a
presentation that people will
view on their own machines,
you can add voice narration to
a presentation.
• To record a narration, your
computer must be equipped
with a sound card and
microphone.
• Click Show Slide  Record
narration…
• As you record, you can pause
or stop at any time. If you are
not satisfied with a narration,
you can delete it just like any
other PowerPoint object.

Modifying Sounds and Movies
• You can also change the action settings to play
a movie or sound by moving the mouse over the
object instead of clicking the object.
• You can change the animation order so that the
movie plays either before PowerPoint animates
the text or at the same time as PowerPoint
animates the text. To find out the total playing
time of the movie or to set play options, you
right-click the movie object, and then click Edit
Movie Object.

Chapter 10 Summary
• You can add animation to the text and graphics on your
slides, and you can customize how and when the
animation occurs.
