Step 2. Draw the first frame of the animation

This is important - it is the frame on which all the other frames in this scene will be based. Take your time to create it.

Step 3. Duplicate the slide and make a slight change in this second slide for the animation progress

If you have a falling ball, drop it one or two places. Note: PowerPoint doesn't use true pixels, but a slightly larger positioning system. See it as an invisible graph.

Step 4. Duplicate the new slide and move on

For effects such as gravity, make the movement stronger each time, for example, by changing it more and more noticeably. The most catastrophic mistake you can make is making everything too fast, so don't be afraid to use too many slides to do one thing - you can always delete them later.

Erase unnecessary slides, add or delete details until your presentation is perfect.

Advice

  • If you want to add voices, use the narration feature or record them as sounds or music.
  • Save often.
  • If you are building an object that moves in different parts, make each piece with a different object. For example, if you are making a person, draw all the limbs as different elements, then just copy / paste and rotate or move them accordingly.
  • If you want something to be done repeatedly, like a bouncing ball, create the action once, then copy all the slides they take for that action and paste them wherever you want. So, for the example of the bouncing ball, make it go down and up once, copy the slides showing the bouncing ball, then paste the slides below, so that it continuously goes down and up.
  • Timing your cartoon correctly. Don't do slow scenes that suddenly turn into fast animations - this creates confusion.
  • By inserting a greater number of slides you will make the animation more realistic.
