How to use the animation panel and how to adjust animations in Microsoft PowerPoint

It is very easy to create animations and use the animation panel,   to adjust animations in Microsoft PowerPoint, we must first have our slides loaded. So, to activate the animations panel, we will go to the main menu and select the Animations tab and then click on the Animations Panel option in the Advanced Animations group.

First of all we will find that the animation panel is empty because we have not added any of the objects of our slides. But when animation effects are added, they are added to the animation panel as a list. In this list we will see the order in which the animations are located.

Furthermore in each animation we will see a star, this will indicate the type of animation it represents. If this star is green, it means they are input animations, yellow ones represent emphasis animations. Red stars are exit animations, etc. if it is a trajectory animation, it will show us a star in blue.



We will also observe that each animation has a name and on the right side it will have a rectangle indicating the duration with the beginning and the end. We can change these animations in their options at any time or simply delete them by clicking the Delete button, but if we want to add animations, we need to create a clip in the option Add animation.


When you select one of the animations, we can see that a small triangle-shaped icon appears on the right side. When you create a clip on it, a menu will open that will show us different options, among them. How the animation will start, which can be when you create a clip with the mouse or start with the previous one or after the previous one.

If I move an effect and place it above or below another effect, we will change the order of the effects, but I will achieve the same using the arrows.
