Description

Some of the default animations used in PowerPoint can be worse than having no animation at all, but using animation that supports the content can bring your slides to life and engage your audience.

We will use the powerful morph transition to create a roller counter, and create an animated custom chart using motion paths.

I will show you how to create a looping light animation and output it to video and explain how multiple animations on individual letters can create a sketch style text effect.

You will learn to create your own custom transitions and we will finish by using custom motion paths and varied animation speeds to create a natural looking snowfall effect.

By the end of this course you will be able to apply the skills learnt to create animations that you would have previously thought impossible in PowerPoint.

We will use the spin animation with repeat option to create an animated clock and show how you can bring your slides to life using video in the background while animating text over the top.

I will show you how to create an interactive menu using animated 3D models and explain how to create an image mask to add depth to any design.

You will learn to use the morph transition to create and animate a 3D rotating tablet and we will finish by using the draw tools and ink replay to create text that looks as if it is drawing out.

I hope you enjoy the class and please get in touch if you have any questions or suggestions. Thanks! Alan.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
