5 minutes read
Do you want to add an extra flair to your presentation? A great way to add some excitement is by incorporating the morph transition in PowerPoint. This transition effect is visually appealing while remaining non-distracting.
This article will guide you through the process of applying the morph transition to your PowerPoint presentation template and address some frequently asked questions related to PowerPoint.
How to Apply the Morph Transition
To make your presentation more engaging for your audience, follow these steps to apply the morph transition:
1. Choose a Template
Before using the morph transition, you need to download a PowerPoint template first.
The template used in this tutorial is the Latte PowerPoint template from Envato Elements. This template features over 50 modern and creative slides, as well as charts and graphs for your data. The Latte template is minimalistic, making it suitable for any occasion.
Note: This tutorial was created using macOS and PowerPoint version 16.68. If you are using a different operating system or version, your steps may vary slightly.
2. Duplicate a Slide
To create a morph transition, you’ll need to duplicate the slide where you want the transition effect to appear.
Select the slide you wish to duplicate, indicated by an orange box around it. Right-click on the selected slide, and from the menu that appears, choose the Duplicate Slide option.
3. Add Transitions
Click on the duplicated slide, then navigate to the Transitions tab in the toolbar. Here, you will find the Transitions menu. Click the down arrow at the bottom to expand the menu.
4. Select Effect Options
In the Transitions menu, the second option is Morph. Click on Morph to apply the morph transition to your slide.
5. Preview Morph
Once you’ve selected the Morph option, PowerPoint will automatically preview the effect. If you’re unhappy with the preview, feel free to make adjustments as needed.
Control Transition Timing
You can choose when your morph transition occurs. Here’s how to manage the timing:
1. Access the Timing Group
Select the morph slide and click on the Transitions tab. In the toolbar, locate the Timing Group.
2. Adjust Duration
In the Timing Group, you’ll find a Duration: field that allows you to change the duration of the morph transition.
Remember, the duration is measured in seconds. You can either type in a number or use the up and down arrows in the field to adjust it.
3. Set On Mouse Click Option
In the Timing Group, you will see an On Mouse Click field with a checkbox. If you want the morph transition to occur automatically, uncheck this box.
You can also specify when the morphing starts by checking the After box and setting the desired time using the number field or the arrows.
4. Viewing the Effects
You can preview your morph transition in two ways:
-
From the Transitions Tab: Click on the Preview button after selecting the Transitions tab.
-
From the Slide Show Tab: In the toolbar, click the Play from Start button to preview your entire presentation.
