Some transitions have
additional options.
Set how much time it takes
to complete the transition.
Set how much time to wait
until transitions that start
automatically begin playing.
To add a transition effect after a selected slide:
1 Click Inspector in the toolbar, and then click the Slide inspector button. Click Transition.
2 Choose an option from the Effect pop-up menu, where transitions are grouped by
type, as described below.
If you see “Effects that can’t play on this computer,” these transitions require an
advanced graphics card in your computer.
Some transition styles work best with particular types of content. These “content-
aware” transitions create effects based on the images or text on your slides. The first
three sets of transitions described below are content-aware transitions.
Magic Move: Moves and resizes graphics and text that appear both on the current
slide and the following slide. During the transition, the objects are moved into their
new position and size on the following slide. This transition only works when you use
an identical image, shape, or text box in a different location or with a different size on
the next slide.
Text Effects: Moves the individual letters on the slide as the text on one slide
transitions to the text on the following slide. Text effects are best used when
transitioning between two slides containing prominent text. An example of a text
effect is the Anagram transition.
