#POWERPLUGS TRANSITIONS FOR POWERPOINT TV#
No matter how great the commercials may be during your favorite TV show, you skip ahead with your DVR to the next segment of your program as quickly as possible.
Slide transitions delay, dilute, and detract from the messaging of your presentation. Custom animations can be used to control the flow of information (e.g., text, images, and objects) on a slide, which can be beneficial in explaining elaborate concepts or processes. Unlike custom animation effects, slide transitions don’t impact the actual content within your slides. However, regardless of the perceived coolness factor, you need to remember that slide transitions simply inform the audience that your presentation has progressed from one slide to another slide. Apple’s Keynote 3 provides a number of impressive “cinematic” transitions that significantly outperform PowerPoint 2007’s tired transitions. You can purchase additional third-party transitions packages such as PowerPlugs:Transitions that provide more exciting transition options. PowerPoint transitions haven’t changed since PowerPoint XP and have definitely become a little stale.
#POWERPLUGS TRANSITIONS FOR POWERPOINT SOFTWARE#
Presentation software from Microsoft PowerPoint to Apple’s Keynote all include slide transitions. What is the purpose of slide transitions?
Why not throw in some different transitions to break apart the bullet-point-laden slides? Maybe the slide transitions will help to keep their audience more engaged and focused…(so the reasoning goes). Perhaps they already sense that their slides are somewhat boring or weak, and they may be susceptible to losing their audience’s attention. I believe some people review their PowerPoint slides prior to delivering their presentation and determine that their slides need to be “spiced up” or enhanced in some way to increase their appeal. Continuing in my tradition of comparing PowerPoint to food, I consider slide transitions to be “empty calories” within PowerPoint – high in calories (sizzle) and low in nutritional value (substance). Transitions are the animation or motion effects that occur as you move between slides in a PowerPoint presentation. One form of animations in PowerPoint that you may want to avoid is slide transitions. PowerPoint ninjas hate jelly beans (c)iStockPhoto/Christine Glade
