Why Use Animations in Your PowerPoint Presentations?

Animation gives you control over your PowerPoint presentation.

You can use animation to pace your delivery and enhance your presentations. You do this by adding transitions between slides or revealing elements on your slides, like the next bullet point or bar on a chart. 

Also, you can readily use animation to power the momentum of your delivery or to add drama to how your ideas are revealed, such as in this basic animation example made using the Simplicity PowerPiont template:

Always keep this question in mind though: will your use of animation interest your audience? The best use of animation is when it feels seamlessly intertwined with your presentation style and matches your message.  

Avoid adding unnecessary animations that may bore your audience or get in the way of your delivery.

You should use PowerPoint animations when:

• It fits the style of your presentation, such as wanting your presentation to feel more modern with smooth transitions between slides.


• You have a set of bullet points or data graphics that you’d like to pace the reveal of, allowing you to keep the audience focused on one concept you’re explaining at a time.
  
  


• You plan to distribute your presentation as a file the viewer can interact with. You can export your PowerPoint as an interactive presentation and share it via email, Dropbox, or online.

Animations are easy to overdo and can take some time to work with, but they are a great differentiator to make your PowerPoint presentation stand out. Now, let’s look at a few tips to using animations well.

3 Quick Tips on Using Animations Well in PowerPoint

1. Keep Your Animations Simple

Animations needed be complex. The key is to apply your animations consistently throughout your PowerPoint presentation.

It’s a not a good idea to add a whole lot of different animation or transitions to your presentation. That is more likely to distract your audience and come off as unprofessional.

Also, PowerPoint offers a ton of animation effect options. It’s best to stick with simple ones, like Appear or Fade. Even subtle animations can have a noticeable effect.

You’ll also find that authors of premium PowerPoint templates build animations effects into slide transitions and graphic elements in their presentation files. This way you have professional animations already set up to work with quickly, like in the i9 PowerPoint template system.

2. Apply Animations to Your Main Points

You don’t need to animate every element in your PowerPoint presentation. It’s often best to apply animation to just a few limited elements in your presentation. That way they stand out.

Cull through your presentation and look for the top points you’re aiming to make overall. These are the best place to start with adding PowerPoint animations to.

You can also use animation to emphasize points on your PowerPoint slide. For example, if you’re presenting results for four quarters for the last year, you could call attention to the best performing quarter with a simple animation. 

You could use a build in chart to reveal results using the Marketofy PowerPoint template that comes with infographics that are build with animations. 

3. Control Your Timing of Delivery

Animation is a great tool to pace the timing of your presentation with. You can use slide transitions or animations on individual elements in your PowerPoint presentation.

Typically you want to use quick transitions and relatively fast effects at less than a half second duration. You could use a template like the Spectacular PPT set, which comes with snappy slide transitions, easy to apply animations on elements, and is designed to make quick presentations with.  

If your animations are too slow, you can drag your presentation pace down. What might appear interesting to your audience at first, can become a source of tension if it becomes tedious.

Be sure to quality check the animations in your presentation before you’re done. Take a look at it as a whole to make sure your use makes sense or not, and adjust if needed.
