To duplicate the base slide, go to the left side of the screen, right click on the slide’s thumbnail and click on ‘Duplicate slide.’ Right click on the thumbnail to see the Duplicate Slide option The base slide for this example has a photo, some text, and a background gradient
I created a sample slide as you can see below.Īlso, I downloaded a free image from, and added the word ‘DESK’ (it’s important to note I added a text box for each letter – this information will come in handy in step 3) to the right of the slide.
This is the slide where all the pre-morph objects are in place. Now, imagining all these steps is hard work, so let me show you in detail what all those steps mean, so it’s easier for you to understand. This is quite literally all you need to remember – create a base slide, duplicate it, move/format the duplicate objects, hit Morph and preview. Once you’ve got your second slide set up, then you can click on Morph and preview the effects. Basically, what you want your base objects to morph into, that’s what you need to do on the duplicated slide. On the duplicated slide, you can move around the objects, you can change the colors, sizes, etc. Once you’re done with your base slide, you’re going to need to duplicate it. This is where you add the objects you want to morph. To get started with morphing transition effects, you’re going to create a base slide first. If you’re willing to think outside the box a little bit, you can create the most magical PowerPoint presentations, and your audience will never think it was done on PowerPoint! Getting Started With The Morph Transition Effect It’s such a simple idea to implement, yet the effects can be truly amazing. The point is that when you plan how your slide objects are going to morph from one form or position to another, then you can effectively capture your audience’s attention. It makes your viewers think you created your presentation with advanced video-editing software, and not PowerPoint. Morph allows you to create animations which gives off a vibe of seamless continuity. With Morph, you no longer need to use complicated animation sequences which would have been pretty daunting to a non-PowerPoint expert. Here’s a great example of a presentation made 100% with PowerPoint’s new morph feature: Objects transition from one slide to another very smoothly! The great thing is you can basically morph any element on your slides – the possibilities are nearly endless.įrom texts, shapes, colors, pictures, icons, SmartArt, WordArt, even tables and charts, you can animate it all just by clicking on that nifty Morph transition button! PowerPoint’s morph transition fits right into this very definition.
Morph – change smoothly from one image to another by small gradual steps using computer animation techniques. If you don’t know what morph means, here’s a quick definition from Oxford Dictionaries: By the end of this article, you just might be convinced to subscribe to Office 365 – these features are THAT awesome! The Morph Transition in PowerPoint First, I’ll cover Morph transition, then I’ll show you how the Zoom feature works.
I will divide this tutorial into two sections.
These new features bring PowerPoint to a whole new level and makes it more competitive with more recent presentation software like Prezi. If you’re an Office 365 subscriber, and you’ve got the latest version of PowerPoint, then congratulations! You have access to the Morph and Zoom transitions that regular PowerPoint users don’t.
