Microsoft PowerPoint 2016 is a powerful presentation software that allows users to create dynamic and engaging slideshows. One of the features that makes PowerPoint stand out is its animation capabilities. With PowerPoint 2016, users can add various animations to their slides to bring them to life and make their presentations more visually appealing.

Here are some of the animation features available in PowerPoint 2016:

  1. Entrance Animations: These animations control how objects enter the slide. Users can choose from a variety of entrance effects such as fade, fly in, or zoom.

  2. Emphasis Animations: Emphasis animations are used to draw attention to specific objects or text on the slide. Users can apply effects like bold flash, pulse, or grow/shrink to make the content stand out.

  3. Exit Animations: Exit animations control how objects leave the slide. Users can choose from effects like fade out, fly out, or dissolve to make objects disappear from the slide.

  4. Motion Paths: Motion paths allow users to create custom animations by defining a path for an object to follow on the slide. This can be useful for creating complex animations or guiding the viewer’s attention to specific areas of the slide.

  5. Animation Painter: The Animation Painter tool allows users to copy animations from one object to another. This can save time when applying similar animations to multiple objects on different slides.

  6. Timing and Triggers: PowerPoint 2016 provides options to control the timing of animations, including the duration, delay, and order in which animations occur. Triggers can also be set to start animations based on specific actions, such as clicking on an object or advancing to a specific slide.

  7. Morph Transition: PowerPoint 2016 introduced the Morph transition, which allows users to create smooth and seamless animations between slides. This feature is particularly useful for creating dynamic and visually appealing presentations.

These are just a few of the animation features available in PowerPoint 2016. With these tools, users can create professional-looking presentations with engaging and eye-catching animations.
