Video style SPEEDY ANIMATION with shapes directly in PowerPoint A quick and simple 6 minute guide

Hi everyone, and welcome back to another video. In this short tutorial, I'll be showing you how you can make these video style animations just using shapes in PowerPoint and adding multiple animations to them. So, let's jump into it. As usual, the first thing we'll do is go to blank presentation, choose layout, blank. And in this example, we're going to start with black background. So, right click, go to format background, solid fill, and choose black. For our first example, we're going to just draw so we'll go to oval. Click anywhere. Go to the size. I'm going to make this 10 cm. Align it to the middle of the page, then go to fill, make sure it's on no fill, and under line, I'm going to make this first one this bright blue color. Now, we're going to go to the effects and add glow to this because think that adding glow gives it this nice blurry motion effect when it's animating. So, we'll go to effects, glow. Make sure we choose the same color as the line, and I'm going to just select five points. In my example at the beginning, just had this text box that just said one. And now, let's add the animation. We'll go to animations, and we'll choose wheel. You'll see this draw out. When we go to the animation pane, we want these to start automatically, so we're going to select with previous. I'm going to make this 2 and 1/2 seconds. And then, I'm going to add second animation, this time an exit animation. Wheel again, and this will remove it. We'll go to start, choose with previous, change it to 2 and 1/2 seconds, and then make sure that that there's delay of 2 and 1/2 seconds. So, this will mean that the wheel animation will reveal, and when it's finished, it will do the exit animation. So, we'll select 2 and 1/2 second delay for this. And now, if play this slide, you can see it will reveal around, and then wipe off. And then, we want to add third animation, and this is an emphasis animation called spin. So, we'll go to add animation. It's very important you go to add animation, otherwise, if you click any of these, it will replace the animation. So, we'll go to add. Under emphasis, we'll choose spin. We'll make this happen with previous, and we'll drag it up to the top. I'm going to set the duration to 1 second, and then, can double-click on this, go to timing, and choose to repeat five times. And what that will do is it will spend 1 second rotating five times. And the reason I've done that is so that it takes 5 seconds in total, which matches the time of these two animations here, which were 2 and 1/2 seconds each. So, now, when we play this, we get this really fast, good-looking animation. And now, I'll show you how you can quickly duplicate this slide and make variations of it using the change shape feature. So, we'll click on the slide, press Ctrl type two in this box, click on our circle, go to shape format, then edit shape, change shape, and choose rectangle. That will create the square. And now, we'll go and change the color. So, we'll make sure it's selected. Go to shape outline and choose our other color. And we also want to right click, format shape, and make sure that the glow is also using that color. So, we'll go to color and pick the same color for the glow. And then the same color for the text. Now, when we run this, the effect will be applied automatically and you can change the speed to suit. And in my example, wanted this to go lot faster. So, can actually go to the animation pane and could change all the timings, but know they work. So, to make this faster, can just go to the first option, which is the rotation, and change it from 360° to two spins, which is 720°. So, that's effectively just going to double the speed. So, when run that, looking good. And I'll quickly just create the other two examples. So, again, control to duplicate, shape format, edit shape, change shape, and then select any shape you like. used this And we can scale that up bit. If you hold control and shift, it will scale like this from the center. And then we can change the number to three. And for this one, just chose this orange color. And again, we'll need to do shape outline. And you can leave it like that if you wish. Or if you want to have it the same color, you can go to glow and make sure that you change that, too. Now, when we play it, we get this cool, fast animation. And now quickly the final one. Control to duplicate, change this to number four. For this, we just use the green. I'll make sure that shape outline is green. And the glow is set to green. And then, shape format, edit shape, change shape, we can change the shape to anything that looks good. For my example, happen to use this called plaque. For this one, we can size it down bit. Again, click on the corner handle and hold down control and shift. Then we can size it from the center. Now, when we run this animation, it's fast, it looks interesting, it just is clever way of using multiple animations to create interesting effects directly in PowerPoint.
