How to Automate Animation and Slideshow

Transitions in PowerPoint
You can set your existing PowerPoint animations to play automatically so that you don't
have to click the slide area to make the next item appear. You can also set the slide
transitions to progress automatically, so there is no need to click to proceed to the next
slide in your show. These instructions are for PowerPoint 2016, 2013, and 2010. The
tabs and section headings may vary slightly in appearance, but the terminology in these
instructions will remain the same between each version of PowerPoint.

Note:
This help page assumes that you are working with a PowerPoint file that already
includes animations.

Automate Slide Animations

1. Open your PowerPoint slideshow.


2. Click the [Animations] tab > From the "Advanced Animation" group, click
"Animation Pane".
3. Right-click the first animation > Select "Start With Previous". This will cause your
first animation to start as soon as the slide appears on the screen.
4. For each of the remaining animations in your list, right-click and then select "Start
After Previous." This will cause all other animations on the slide to occur
automatically in the order you have listed them.
5. To adjust the time each animations occurs, click the up and down arrows in the
"Duration:" field located within the "Timing" group.
6. To adjust the time before the next animation appears, click the up and down
arrows in the "Delay:" field located within the "Timing" group.

Note:
When you return to a slide after having viewed only part of it, the animation sequences
automatically start from the beginning.

Automate Slide Transitions

Note:
These instructions can be used to set up a Pecha Kucha Presentation.

1. Click the [Transitions] tab > From the "Transition to This Slide" group, choose the
transition you would like to apply to the selected slide.
2. To modify the transition speed, adjust the "Duration" drop-down list in the
"Timing" group.
3. From the "Timing" group, uncheck "On Mouse Click."
4. From the "Timing" group, check "After" and modify the drop-down list to display
the number of seconds you would like between slides.
5. To apply slide transition preferences to all slides, from the "Timing" group, select
"Apply to All" or go to each slide and repeat the above steps for each individual
slide.
6. Save (Ctrl + S) your presentation and run the slideshow (F5) to view your
changes.
