You can also adjust the timing of builds, setting some effects to build automatically after others, or setting builds to run simultaneously. You can change the order in which objects animate on a slide. These ghost objects represent the resulting position of an object with an action build.

When an object changes its position as a result of an action build, a “ghost” object appears on the slide.

To combine two Basic action builds, apply both Basic action builds to an object in the Action tab at the top of the sidebar, select Build Order, then choose With Build to select the previous build in the Build Order window. To apply another Basic action build to the object, click the red diamond below the object, then choose another build. Use the controls to customize the animation. If you don’t see a sidebar, or the sidebar doesn’t have an Action tab, click in the toolbar.Ĭlick Add an Effect, then choose an animation. For example, you could apply a Move build that plays at the same time as a Rotate build so the object appears to rotate while it moves across your slide.Ĭlick the Action tab at the top of the sidebar on the right. You can combine Basic action builds to create an interesting animation. Emphasis action builds start and end in the same position and are used to call attention to an object on the slide. There are two types of action builds: Basic action builds change how the object appears by adjusting its position or size on the slide. For example, you can change an object’s size, make it transparent, and more. You can use action builds to move objects along a path or change how an object looks without moving the object onto or off the slide.
