When it comes to slideshows, one of the most effective ways to grab your audience's attention is through the use of animations. With Power Point, it is possible to insert and format animations in a simple and fast way.
Inserting animations
To insert an animation into a slide, just select the object you want to animate and go to the "Animations" tab. There, you will find several predefined animation options, such as entrance, exit, emphasis and path.
To apply an animation, just click on the desired option and check how it will look in real time. If you want to further customize the animation, you can adjust the duration, speed, direction and sound effect through the available options.
Formatting animations
In addition to inserting animations, it is important to format them properly so that they are effective in your presentation. One of the main ways to format animations is through the use of triggers.
Triggers allow animation to be triggered by a specific event, such as a mouse click or slide entry. To add a trigger, just select the desired animation and go to the "Animations" tab, clicking on "Add trigger".

Another way to format animations is through the use of animation sequences. Sequences allow multiple animations to be applied to the same object, creating a more elaborate and dynamic effect.
To create an animation sequence, simply select the object and apply the desired animations in order via the "Animations" tab. Afterwards, it is possible to adjust the duration and order of the animations through the available options.
In summary, inserting and formatting animations in Power Point is an effective way to make your presentations more dynamic and engaging. With the available options, it is possible to customize the animations according to the needs of the presentation and create more elaborate and impactful effects.
