Apply transitions

A transition is an effect that appears when one slide advances to the next one during a presentation. In the Presentation Editor, you can apply the same transition to all slides or different transitions to each separate slide and adjust the transition parameters.

To apply a transition to a single slide or several selected slides:

1. Switch to the Transitions tab on the top toolbar.

   

2. Select a slide (or several slides in the slide list) you want to apply a transition to.
3. Select one of the available transition effects on the Transition tab: None, Morph, Fade, Push, Wipe, Split, Uncover, Cover, Clock, Zoom, and Random.

   You can assign a name for the object on a slide used in the Morph transition. To do that, click the object with the right mouse button, select Shape advanced settings > General > Shape name. An object name is used to match two objects and force the first one to morph into the other. The name shall correspond to the !!Name template and remain the same for two morphed objects.

4. Click the Parameters button to select one of the available effect options that define exactly how the effect appears. For example, the options available for Zoom effect are Zoom In, Zoom Out and Zoom and Rotate.
5. Specify how long you want the transition to last. In the Duration box, enter or select the necessary time value, measured in seconds.
6. Press the Preview button to view the slide with the transition applied in the slide editing area.
7. Specify how long you want the slide to be displayed until it advances to the next one:
   • Start on click – check this box if you don't want to restrict the time to display the selected slide. The slide will advance to the next one only when you click it with the mouse.
   • Delay – use this option if you want the selected slide to be displayed within a specified period of time until it advances to the next one. Check this box and enter or select the necessary time value, measured in seconds.

     Note: if you check only the Delay box, the slides will advance automatically within a specified time interval. If you check both the Start on click and the Delay boxes and set the delay value, the slides will advance automatically as well, but you will also be able to click a slide to advance it to the next.

To apply a transition to all slides in your presentation, click the Apply to All Slides button on the Transitions tab.

To delete a transition, select the necessary slide and choose None among the transition effect options on the Transitions tab.

To delete all transitions, select any slide, choose None among the transition effect options and press the Apply to All Slides button on the Transitions tab.
