Slide transition means to change the effect of appearance of slide on
screen as
well
as disappearance of slide from the screen. In
slide
transition, special effects are
added to the slides that make the presentation more attractive
and beautiful. The slides appear and
disappear in a very beautiful way from right or left or in or down or
slides dissolve gradually etc. It develops an interest in the
viewers to see your presentation. If
transitions are not applied to the slides then new slide simply appears
in place of the previous one. This way of presentation without
transition may loose the interest of people and you can not convey your
ideas to others with good impression. Most of the design templates have added transition effects;
it is because these are more
attractive.
In
PowerPoint, there are two types of transitions.
-
Visual Transition.
