TRANSCRIPT
This screen cast is going to show you how to custom animation effect to an object on a slide. Now here I'm using a shape but you can use any object that you want, a scanned in photo, a title, even a bullet list.
And the first thing you need to do is click the object to select it. And you can see the selection border around here that lets you know that you've selected your object. And you want to go up here to the animations tab and display the Animations ribbon.
From there you want to click Custom Animation and what's gonna happen now, as you see, is the custom animation pane is going to appear and from the custom animation pane all you need to do is Add Effect and this choose which effect you want to apply.
Now I'm gonna apply an entrance effect first and I'm going to choose Dissolve In. You'll notice here that as soon as I click that the effect is previewed on the slide. To add another effect you simply click Add Effect again, I'm gonna choose an Exit effect here, a fly out, and notice, too, alone with the preview that the effect that you add appears here in the custom animation pane.
I'm gonna add one more effect, an emphasis effect. And I'm going to make this object spin. Now one thing you have to keep in mind when you're adding custom animation effects to an object is that they need to go in order. You always want to make sure that the Exit effect appears last in the list. So to do that I'm gonna click the Exit effect that I've chosen and I'm gonna come down here to reorder and bump it down so that it's the last effect in the list.
Finally to make sure that all your effects play as you want them to, you need to preview your effects. The best way to do that is to scoot down here to the Slideshow icon and click that and you'll notice when your slide first appears you're gonna need to click the mouse, here's your entrance effect, you're gonna click again to see the emphasis effect and you're gonna click one final time to see the object exit.
And that's how you apply custom animation effect to an object on the slide.
