Objectifs :

This video aims to teach viewers how to apply and customize motion paths in animation effects, enhancing their presentation skills by demonstrating how to make images move in specific ways on slides.


Chapitres :

  1. Introduction to Motion Paths
    In this section, we explore the concept of motion paths in animation. Unlike traditional fade-in effects where items appear line by line, motion paths allow images to not only fade in but also move to designated positions on the slide. This technique adds a dynamic element to presentations.
  2. Applying Motion Paths
    To apply a motion path, first select the image you want to animate. For instance, after applying a Fade entrance effect to an image, you can set it to move left without exiting the slide. This is done by selecting a motion path from the animation gallery. Choose a 'Straight line' path to achieve the desired movement.
  3. Understanding Motion Path Settings
    Once the motion path is applied, you can customize the start settings for the animation. The image will fade in and then move along the specified path. This allows for precise control over how elements appear and move on the slide.
  4. Examples of Motion Paths
    Motion paths can create engaging visual effects. For example, a line motion path can make wheels appear to roll, while a rocket image can travel along diagonal paths, appearing to grow smaller in the distance and larger as it returns. These effects can enhance storytelling in presentations.
  5. Practical Applications of Motion Paths
    In practical applications, motion paths can be used to create engaging lists or sequences. For instance, a chevron arrow can move from bullet to bullet using a series of downward motion paths, triggering text effects as it progresses. This technique not only captures attention but also aids in information delivery.
  6. Conclusion and Next Steps
    In the upcoming sections, we will delve deeper into customizing motion paths and creating effects that are both practical and entertaining. Mastering these techniques will significantly enhance your presentation skills and audience engagement.

FAQ :

What are motion paths in animation?

Motion paths are animation effects that allow objects to move along a specified line or path on a slide, enabling precise control over their movement.

How do I apply a fade entrance effect?

To apply a fade entrance effect, select the object you want to animate, go to the animation gallery, and choose the 'Fade' option from the entrance effects.

Can I customize motion paths?

Yes, motion paths can be customized by selecting the object, choosing a motion path from the gallery, and adjusting the path's direction and length as needed.

What is the difference between a straight line motion path and a diagonal path?

A straight line motion path moves an object in a direct line, while a diagonal path moves the object at an angle, allowing for more dynamic movement.

What are some practical applications of motion paths?

Motion paths can be used to create engaging presentations, highlight key points, or illustrate processes by visually guiding the audience's attention.

How can I make an object grow or shrink during an animation?

To create a grow or shrink effect, apply the 'Grow/Shrink' animation to the object in addition to its motion path, allowing it to change size as it moves.


Quelques cas d'usages :

Creating Engaging Presentations

Use motion paths to animate images and text in a presentation, making it more visually appealing and keeping the audience engaged.

Illustrating Processes

In training sessions, motion paths can help illustrate step-by-step processes by guiding the viewer's eye along a defined path.

Highlighting Key Information

In reports or business presentations, use motion paths to draw attention to important data points or conclusions, enhancing clarity and retention.

Creating Interactive Learning Modules

In e-learning, motion paths can be used to create interactive elements that respond to user actions, improving the learning experience.

Enhancing Marketing Videos

In promotional videos, motion paths can animate product features or benefits, making the content more dynamic and engaging for viewers.


Glossaire :

Animation Effects

Visual effects that create the illusion of movement in a presentation, such as fading in or out, or moving objects on a slide.

Motion Paths

Animation effects that allow an object, like a picture, to move along a specified line or path on a slide.

Fade Entrance Effect

An animation effect where an object gradually appears on the slide by fading in from transparency.

Straight Line Motion Path

A type of motion path that moves an object in a direct, linear direction without curves.

Start Setting

The configuration that determines how an animation effect begins, such as 'On Click' or 'With Previous'.

Grow/Shrink Effect

An animation effect that changes the size of an object, making it appear to grow larger or shrink smaller.

Diagonal Paths

Motion paths that move objects at an angle rather than straight up, down, left, or right.

Chevron Arrow

A graphical element often used in presentations to indicate direction or movement, typically shaped like a V.

Bullet Points

Items in a list that are preceded by a symbol (like a dot or arrow) to highlight key information.

00:00:07
where you fade in a list, line by line or you fade in pictures one by one,
00:00:15
but say you want a sequence where pictures fade in and
00:00:18
then move somewhere on the slide like the first two pictures here.
00:00:25
I'll play this effect again.
00:00:27
The first picture enters and moves left.
00:00:30
The second one enters and moves right.
00:00:34
The pictures are moved by animation effects called motion paths.
00:00:38
A motion path moves an item like a picture on a line you specify.
00:00:44
Let's apply a motion path, I've put a Fade entrance effect on this picture.
00:00:50
Next I want it to move to the left, not to exit but just to change position.
00:00:55
I'll apply a motion path, with the picture selected
00:00:58
I click Add animation
00:01:01
and I find Motion paths at the bottom of the gallery.
00:01:05
I want a Straight line.
00:01:11
Once I apply the path, I can use Effect options to make changes to it
00:01:15
like changing its direction.
00:01:22
I can choose a Start setting for the path
00:01:27
and a Duration.
00:01:30
Let's look at a preview.
00:01:33
The picture fades in and moves to the left on the path;
00:01:36
so you use a motion path to move something
00:01:39
in a very specific way on a slide.
00:01:41
You can also combine motion paths with other effects.
00:01:45
In this example a line motion path is combined with the Spin effect
00:01:49
to make the wheels seem like it's rolling.
00:01:54
Here a rocket image traveling on motion paths get smaller
00:01:58
in the distance and larger on its return.
00:02:02
It's moving on diagonal paths that have a Grow/shrink effect applied.
00:02:09
Motion paths help you do more with animation.
00:02:12
In this list, the chevron arrow moves bullet to bullet on
00:02:15
a series of Down motion paths setting off text effects as it moves.
00:02:22
Coming up, we'll apply and customize motion paths and
00:02:25
create effects that are both practical and fun.
