Animating on the moove!

Why?

A simple PowerPoint animation where an image changes while it is moving.

It can be very effective to add elements to images while they are moving across a slide. While it looks effective, it is very easy to achieve. In this example, I have two identical images on my slide, but I have added a flower as an overlay to the second image.

Both images are selected and a Motion Path added, moving Diagonal, Down Right. The two, animated images are finally aligned to the centre of the slide ready for animations to be added. Now, this is where we have to be a bit tricky. Our second image is on top, and hides the first image we want to see first. So, we have to get rid of it by animation, before we bring it in.

To do this, we set the second image to an Exit animation, Disappear, automatically at the start of the slide. We then animate the same image to an Entrance animation, Fade in. That will allow the image to gradually change as it moves across the slide.
