Advanced PowerPoint:
Animate Images

Title: Jan's Illustrated Computer Literacy 101

Images can have PowerPoint animations, just like text. You can have an image swirl into view or fade in and out or swoop around the screen and out of sight. It is entirely too easy to get overly enchanted with animated images.

Don't get confused:

  • Animation: Falling snowAnimated gif -  a set of images in one file that automatically play to give the effect of motion.
    (Play the snow animation.)
     

  • PowerPoint animation - effect of motion applied to an image or group of images or other object by PowerPoint. The image file is not changed.

Icon: PowerPoint 2002Animation of Image based on Slide Master animation:

  • Image inserted with AutoLayout on: Uses the same animation scheme that as the Body placeholder.

  • Image inserted with AutoLayout off: Image is ignored by animation scheme from the Master.  (Apply custom animation separately.)

Icon: PowerPoint 2003 Slide Master animations do not affect inserted images.

With Custom Animation, you can add new animations and adjust or remove existing animations - except those from the Master.

If the animation on the Master is not what you want for particular slides, create a new master to use those slides.
