Part 1 10 Best Animated Text Generators for 2021

For our first list, as promised, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best-animated text generators for 2021. This is a general list of text animation software that you have to either download or install to use! If you want the online text animation maker list, that would be the one after this!

01Aurora: 3D Text Logo Maker

PRICE: FREE!

RATING: 4.5/5

The first animated text generator on our list is Aurora 3D. Aurora offers several different products, but the one that we’re focusing on today is their 3D Text & Logo maker, which you can use to create some pretty advanced text animations with no sweat (as well as logos, of course, as the name implies)! The software is available for both Mac and Windows OS computers and desktops.

02Animaker

PRICE: Basic Plan = $10 per month!

RATING: 4.9/5

If you’re looking for a more modern text animation maker, then Animaker might just be the one that you want! With this, you can create your 3D text animations from scratch, or choose from the dozens of templates and presets that they have for text, animated characters, icons, and other properties. This is more of a video editor than a strict text tool, but we thought it was important to give you a good variety. It’s also not FREE, but you can try it for free for a time so that you can check if it’s the one for you.

03OpenToonz

PRICE: Free

RATING: 4/5

OpenToonz is a free text animation software that you can use for both basic and advanced 2D animation. It comes in several different languages (including Spanish and Japanese) and is very useful for creating simple text animation from scratch — no complicated tools. Just create and go! (It is also available in both Mac and Windows!)

04Reallusion

PRICE: Free

RATING: 4/5

Reallusion is another open-source text gif maker that you can use if you’re looking for something quick-and-easy. It supports a ton of different fonts, as well as ways to control the width, height, dimension, and style of every single object inside of their 3D properties gallery — giving you a lot of options for customization without any added cost!

05Express Animate

PRICE: $60 (full license)

RATING: 4/5

Express Animate, just like Open Toonz, it is more of an animation tool than one strictly created for text animation. However, it does work for that purpose as well. So, if you’re willing to pay for the full license (which will cost $60), it could be a fairly good tool for you. Especially if you’re interested in trying out more complex animations in the future.

06Motion

PRICE: $47

RATING: 3.9/5

Motion is a Mac-only software. It is, just like some of the other options on this list, a great option for those looking for a tool that can help them with general animations (not just text animation — although it provides tools for that as well). The best part of Motion is undoubtedly its graphic library, where you have access to a ton of different presets and templates that you can use to simplify your text-animation-making.

07Xara 3D Maker

PRICE: $39.99

RATING: 3.9/5

Xara is another one of our paid options. It also comes complete with a range of different templates and presets that you can use in order to simplify your animation-generating. And, if you end up disliking the product after you try it, they do offer a 30-day money-back guarantee that you can take advantage of to make sure that you get the most out of your purchase.

08Easy Banner

PRICE: FREE

RATING: 3.5/5

Easy Banner is a free animated text-banner-making software. It’s only available in Windows, and its uses are limited to created banners. However, if that’s what you’re looking for? Then there’s no reason not to try it out! Especially since it’s free, and it comes with some pretty advanced customization options for getting the exact look that you want on your text banners.

09Falco GIF Animator

PRICE: FREE

RATING: 3.5/5

Falco Gif Animator is from the same creators of the previous item on this list (Softpedia!) The two offer similar tools, but for different purposes. Whilst the previous tool was for the creation of animated-text banners, this one is a GIF maker for icons, cursors, logos, etc. It’s also FREE! So, if the project you’re working on is applicable to its available features? Then you should definitely try it!

10TISFAT

PRICE: Free

RATING: 3/5

TISFAT is the last of the tools that we have for you. It’s an open-source stick animation tool that you can use to create text animations in whatever style or format that you desire. Making it more customizable than some of the other Softpedia options we just introduced, but still, one to consider based on your own circumstances.

Part 2 8 Best Online Text GIF Generators to Make Animated Word GIFs

And so, we move on to our next list! Here’s where we introduce online solutions for animated text generation needs! So, all the tools on this list will not require any downloading, but they will require that you have internet while working!

01MotionDen

PROS	CONS
● FREE version available● Large resources library● Easy-to-use video templates	● Must upgrade to the premium version to export high-quality projects without a watermark.● The FREE version has a 5-video limit (you cannot work on any more projects than that).● Difficult to use for creating text animation from scratch.

RATING: 4.8/5

MotionDen is a good entry point for text animation online solutions! It comes with tons of different templates that you can choose from to start working on your project immediately. MotionDen also offers a free version that you can test out for a limited number of times (one that gives you access to all their tools and their large resource library). So, you can decide to upgrade to their premium version whenever you want to (which will cost you around $29 per month!)

02Wave.Video

PROS	CONS
● FREE version is available for trying out its tools.● Vast library of animation properties for you to play around with.● Vast library of animation properties for you to play around with.	● FREE version limits the length of your projects to 15 seconds.● You can also only create five video projects with the free version.● You can also only create five video projects with the free version.

RATING: 4.5/5

Wave.Video, just like MotionDen, is a freemium software. You can try it out for free and start using their online video editing tools immediately to create short promos, logos, text gifs, etc. If you want access to some of its more advanced tools, however, you’ll need to pay the premium price ($24-48), which, to you, may or may not be worth the vast library of polished animation properties.

03MakerMoon

PROS	CONS
● Easy-to-use, and comes with templates and presets!● Advanced video editing tools that you can use to personalize your projects.● FREE plan is available.	● The FREE version is limited in use.● You also cannot download high-quality projects without a watermark with the free version.● Basic animations only.

RATING: 4.3/5

If you want to keep things simple, then MakerMoon might be your preferred choice for text animation. It is, like the previous picks, an online video maker, but one with the focus on creating text-centric projects, which you can personalize in a number of ways to create logos, banners, short videos, gifs, etc.

04Textanim

PROS	CONS
● FREE online GIF maker● A variety of different font style options● Animated Effects options	● Output is GIF only.● Limited animations options.● Limited resource library.

RATING: 4/5

Textanim is a very bubbly and glittery kind of gif-maker, made for a more specific kind of project. But, if it works, it works! Plus, it’s also the first completely FREE online gif maker on this list. So, you can test it out without having to make any commitments and use it literally anytime you feel like it. Unfortunately, though, it should be said that the animations here are mainly for effects (i.e., glowing, sparkling, etc.). The text won’t actually move. So, if that’s not what you’re looking for? Then it might not be for you.

05SnackThis

PROS	CONS
● FREE version for testing its tools and resources is available.● Lots of modern templates are available.● Editing tools for polishing projects.	● If you’re using the FREE version, you will not be able to actually download your project.● You will also need to register to use it.● The customization options are limited.

RATING: 4/5

SnackThis, unlike Textanim, is the type to cater to a wider array of users. Its templates are all very modern and professional-looking. So, if what you’re looking for is to create text banners, logos, icons, etc. for your business? Then this definitely is an option that you may want to consider. It’s pretty easy to use too! All you have to do is select the template that you want to use, and then edit it to match what you need.

06Animatron Studio

PROS	CONS
● More customizable functions.● Advanced video editing options.● Pre-made templates are available for easier animating.	● FREE Version is limited.● Might be difficult for inexperienced animators.● Output formats are MP4 and GIF only.

RATING: 3.9/5

Animatron Studio is the tool to use if what you’re looking for is customization. This tool is really better described as animation software, rather than a simple text generator. That means that you have more options than what you might see from other online text animation tools, but it also means that you’ll need to put in more effort to come up with a polished-looking end-product.

07Cool Text

PROS	CONS
● Easy and quick to use.● Various font customization options.● FREE to use.	● Limited customizability.● Old-fashioned fonts.

RATING: 3.5/5

As a departure from the previous pick, we have Cool Text, which is its complete opposite! This is an older software and is definitely best described strictly as an animated text generator. With Cool Text, you can make logos or icons very easily. The options are, of course, more limited because of that, but it may very well be all you need based on the kind of project you’re working on.

08Loading.io

PROS	CONS
● Lots of fonts customization options.● Three different output formats (svg., png., and gif).● Also pre-set animations to choose from.	● The FREE version is limited.● It isn’t as advanced as some of the other tools on this list.

RATING: 3.5/5

For our last online text animator, we have Loading.io. This one is a very simple, and very straightforward kind of tool. It’s also a freemium one, so you’ll have to pay in order to unlock some of its features, but it’s a solid contender for its customization tools, which gives a lot more options to choose from.

Part 3 How to Use an Animated Text Generator to Make Stunning Videos?

Now, if you need help making use of your finished animated text, icons, etc. Then you’ll probably need a video editor like Wondershare Filmora !

Free Download

For Win 7 or later (64-bit)

Free Download

For macOS 10.14 or later

As you can see from the image shown above, Wondershare Filmora is a very sleek video editing software. It’s used by all sorts of professionals as well, as it comes with all kinds of resources and tools that you can use in order to create stunning videos (including, believe it or not, templates for animated text! So, if you want, you can even skip the animated text maker altogether and just get straight to using Filmora.)

Key Takeaways from This Episode

● There are various text animation generators in the market! Some of which you can download straight to your desktop or computer!

● There are also online GIF makers that you can use straight from your browser, leaving out all the hassle of having to download or install anything and helping you get straight to work!

● If you want to polish up your project some more, then consider using an advanced video editor like Filmora Pro to make sure that your work is sparkly clean!

● Easy-to-use, and comes with templates and presets!● Advanced video editing tools that you can use to personalize your projects.● FREE plan is available.	● The FREE version is limited in use.● You also cannot download high-quality projects without a watermark with the free version.● Basic animations only.

RATING: 4.3/5

If you want to keep things simple, then MakerMoon might be your preferred choice for text animation. It is, like the previous picks, an online video maker, but one with the focus on creating text-centric projects, which you can personalize in a number of ways to create logos, banners, short videos, gifs, etc.

04Textanim

PROS	CONS
● FREE online GIF maker● A variety of different font style options● Animated Effects options	● Output is GIF only.● Limited animations options.● Limited resource library.

RATING: 4/5

Textanim is a very bubbly and glittery kind of gif-maker, made for a more specific kind of project. But, if it works, it works! Plus, it’s also the first completely FREE online gif maker on this list. So, you can test it out without having to make any commitments and use it literally anytime you feel like it. Unfortunately, though, it should be said that the animations here are mainly for effects (i.e., glowing, sparkling, etc.). The text won’t actually move. So, if that’s not what you’re looking for? Then it might not be for you.

05SnackThis

PROS	CONS
● FREE version for testing its tools and resources is available.● Lots of modern templates are available.● Editing tools for polishing projects.	● If you’re using the FREE version, you will not be able to actually download your project.● You will also need to register to use it.● The customization options are limited.

RATING: 4/5

SnackThis, unlike Textanim, is the type to cater to a wider array of users. Its templates are all very modern and professional-looking. So, if what you’re looking for is to create text banners, logos, icons, etc. for your business? Then this definitely is an option that you may want to consider. It’s pretty easy to use too! All you have to do is select the template that you want to use, and then edit it to match what you need.

06Animatron Studio

PROS	CONS
● More customizable functions.● Advanced video editing options.● Pre-made templates are available for easier animating.	● FREE Version is limited.● Might be difficult for inexperienced animators.● Output formats are MP4 and GIF only.

RATING: 3.9/5

Animatron Studio is the tool to use if what you’re looking for is customization. This tool is really better described as animation software, rather than a simple text generator. That means that you have more options than what you might see from other online text animation tools, but it also means that you’ll need to put in more effort to come up with a polished-looking end-product.

07Cool Text

PROS	CONS
● Easy and quick to use.● Various font customization options.● FREE to use.	● Limited customizability.● Old-fashioned fonts.

RATING: 3.5/5

As a departure from the previous pick, we have Cool Text, which is its complete opposite! This is an older software and is definitely best described strictly as an animated text generator. With Cool Text, you can make logos or icons very easily. The options are, of course, more limited because of that, but it may very well be all you need based on the kind of project you’re working on.

08Loading.io

PROS	CONS
● Lots of fonts customization options.● Three different output formats (svg., png., and gif).● Also pre-set animations to choose from.	● The FREE version is limited.● It isn’t as advanced as some of the other tools on this list.

RATING: 3.5/5

For our last online text animator, we have Loading.io. This one is a very simple, and very straightforward kind of tool. It’s also a freemium one, so you’ll have to pay in order to unlock some of its features, but it’s a solid contender for its customization tools, which gives a lot more options to choose from.

Part 1 10 Best Animated Text Generators for 2021

For our first list, as promised, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best-animated text generators for 2021. This is a general list of text animation software that you have to either download or install to use! If you want the online text animation maker list, that would be the one after this!

01Aurora: 3D Text Logo Maker

PRICE: FREE!

RATING: 4.5/5

The first animated text generator on our list is Aurora 3D. Aurora offers several different products, but the one that we’re focusing on today is their 3D Text & Logo maker, which you can use to create some pretty advanced text animations with no sweat (as well as logos, of course, as the name implies)! The software is available for both Mac and Windows OS computers and desktops.

02Animaker

PRICE: Basic Plan = $10 per month!

RATING: 4.9/5

If you’re looking for a more modern text animation maker, then Animaker might just be the one that you want! With this, you can create your 3D text animations from scratch, or choose from the dozens of templates and presets that they have for text, animated characters, icons, and other properties. This is more of a video editor than a strict text tool, but we thought it was important to give you a good variety. It’s also not FREE, but you can try it for free for a time so that you can check if it’s the one for you.

03OpenToonz

PRICE: Free

RATING: 4/5

OpenToonz is a free text animation software that you can use for both basic and advanced 2D animation. It comes in several different languages (including Spanish and Japanese) and is very useful for creating simple text animation from scratch — no complicated tools. Just create and go! (It is also available in both Mac and Windows!)

04Reallusion

PRICE: Free

RATING: 4/5

Reallusion is another open-source text gif maker that you can use if you’re looking for something quick-and-easy. It supports a ton of different fonts, as well as ways to control the width, height, dimension, and style of every single object inside of their 3D properties gallery — giving you a lot of options for customization without any added cost!

05Express Animate

PRICE: $60 (full license)

RATING: 4/5

Express Animate, just like Open Toonz, it is more of an animation tool than one strictly created for text animation. However, it does work for that purpose as well. So, if you’re willing to pay for the full license (which will cost $60), it could be a fairly good tool for you. Especially if you’re interested in trying out more complex animations in the future.

06Motion

PRICE: $47

RATING: 3.9/5

Motion is a Mac-only software. It is, just like some of the other options on this list, a great option for those looking for a tool that can help them with general animations (not just text animation — although it provides tools for that as well). The best part of Motion is undoubtedly its graphic library, where you have access to a ton of different presets and templates that you can use to simplify your text-animation-making.

07Xara 3D Maker

PRICE: $39.99

RATING: 3.9/5

Xara is another one of our paid options. It also comes complete with a range of different templates and presets that you can use in order to simplify your animation-generating. And, if you end up disliking the product after you try it, they do offer a 30-day money-back guarantee that you can take advantage of to make sure that you get the most out of your purchase.

08Easy Banner

PRICE: FREE

RATING: 3.5/5

Easy Banner is a free animated text-banner-making software. It’s only available in Windows, and its uses are limited to created banners. However, if that’s what you’re looking for? Then there’s no reason not to try it out! Especially since it’s free, and it comes with some pretty advanced customization options for getting the exact look that you want on your text banners.

09Falco GIF Animator

PRICE: FREE

RATING: 3.5/5

Falco Gif Animator is from the same creators of the previous item on this list (Softpedia!) The two offer similar tools, but for different purposes. Whilst the previous tool was for the creation of animated-text banners, this one is a GIF maker for icons, cursors, logos, etc. It’s also FREE! So, if the project you’re working on is applicable to its available features? Then you should definitely try it!

10TISFAT

PRICE: Free

RATING: 3/5

TISFAT is the last of the tools that we have for you. It’s an open-source stick animation tool that you can use to create text animations in whatever style or format that you desire. Making it more customizable than some of the other Softpedia options we just introduced, but still, one to consider based on your own circumstances.

PowerPoints can be quite dull without anything to spice it up. So, this question is more than 100% warranted. Fortunately, we were able to pull together a tutorial on creating moving animation PowerPoint presentations.

Complete with some templates that you can start off with (if you’d prefer to make it as simple as possible for yourself.)

02 [How to Create a Moving Animation in Powerpoint](#Part 2)

03 [10 Moving Animation Powerpoint Techniques](#Part 3)

Part 1 6 Animated PowerPoint Templates with Interactive Features

The default people tend to-go-to when it comes to presentations are videos. As they tend to be more engaging on their own. For that, you’ll see people gravitating towards software like Filmora, which can create beautiful, eye-catching presentations that you can easily and quickly share. Not just to an immediate audience, but also on social media and the like.

However, of course, sometimes a personal touch is important in a presentation — important to have a ‘voice’ attached to the image on the screen. But just because this is the case, doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t go all out on your presentation. Hence, why moving animation PowerPoint templates are such a big deal:

01Company Presentation PowerPoint Template

For the first of the Moving Animation PowerPoint templates that we have to introduce, we chose the ‘Company Presentation PowerPoint Template.’ As you can perhaps guess from the name, it’s a very professional template. It comes with a total of 500 sample slides that you can choose from (50 of which are unique), and it’s set up with professional animations that can spice up your presentation without making it look gaudy or over-the-top.

02Move Animated PowerPoint Template

Next is the modern, minimalistic template called “Move Animated.” This one is a lot more versatile, with every single one of the 144 unique slides available suitably animated. The best part of it is definitely the easy way in which it can be used. With the modern, minimalistic style, it’s easy enough to remove the presets and replace them with suitable company or product images to promote your content, idea, or project.

0340 Animated Conceptual Slides for PowerPoint

Again, we have another modern and minimalistic kind of PowerPoint template with ‘40 Animated Conceptual Slides for PowerPoint.’ It comes with 40 modern slides, all of which come fully animated are easy enough to customize with your own branding or content.

04UNIGRAPH - Animated & Creative Template (PPTX)

For a bit more fun, our next template is “UNIGRAPH.” This still definitely fits the description ‘minimalistic’ but the pop of color and effects that it brings to the table gives it a different kind of vibe from all the others. No less professional, but certainly more fun. Of course, most importantly, perhaps, is the fact that each slide is smoothly animated.

05Graph & Charts PowerPoint Presentation

For this next one, we introduce a template set called “Graphs & Charts” for those who may want to present their products, projects, ideas, etc. in the shape of graphs and charts. It’s perfect for professionals, certainly. Especially with its clean look, brightened only by occasional pops of color that can be seen from the graphs and charts that it comes with.

06Laststyle - PowerPoint Template

This next PowerPoint template is most suited for businesses looking to promote their products. The creator of the template has provided five different colored versions of the template, each with 30 unique slides that were carefully sectioned with suitable animations.

Part 2 How to Create a Moving Animation in PowerPoint

Now we come to the point of the article where we speak directly to those who may want to experiment more by personally creating a moving animation PowerPoint. For this example, we’ll be teaching you how to create a path animation PowerPoint with the available tools that the software offers under ‘Animation.’ Stick around if you want to learn more.

01Step 1. Open Project.

First things first, of course. Start a new project. When you’ve started, move on to the Animation tab (which we’ve pointed out in the image below.)

02Step 2. Add Animation.

Then, make sure to select the object or model that you want to animate (in this case, we’ve inserted a 2D model of a businessman), and then click the ‘Add Animation’ button (shown in the image below.)

03Step 3. Choose Animation.

Under ‘Add Animation’ you’ll find several different options for animations that you can choose from. Of course, since our goal is to create a PowerPoint Motion Path Animation, we have selected one of the ‘Motion Path’ options.

04Step 4. Choose Motion Path Animation

In order to make motion animation in PowerPoint, you must select one of the offered ‘Motion Paths’ (i.e., Bounce, Line, Arcs, etc.) and then use the motion path tool that appears to control the direction you wish to make your character move.

In this example, we chose the ‘Lines’ motion path (1) and then used the line tool to create a path for our businessman model. To walk from the right side of the screen towards the left.

05Step 5. Adjust Animation.

With path animation PowerPoint complete, you can adjust as needed with the tools provided. For example, you can have the character start moving as soon as the slide opens, or wait until a minute has passed, you can extend the animation by changing duration, etc.

Part 3 10 Moving Animation PowerPoint Techniques

For this last step, we break down some important PowerPoint 3D Animation need-to-knows. Including the specifics provided by each of the options made available to you and why it’s important to explore every single one to create better and more professional-looking presentations.

01Transitions

When it comes to PowerPoint presentations, most people are no doubt the most familiar with ‘Transitions’ when talking in terms of adding animation into a presentation. This one decides whether you want to shift from one slide to another smoothly, or if you want the previous slide to break into splinters, or rotate into the next slide, and so on and so forth. It’s an ‘in-between’ animation that signals where one ends and the other begins.

02Animations

Now, for the ‘Animations’ tab, we focus on animations that occur in the slide (not in-between like transitions). This can include a wide array of things. Whether it be characters moving (like shown in the tutorial we provided), text boxes appearing and disappearing in short order, images bouncing into view in dramatic fashion, and so on and so forth. There’s lots of potential here.

03Animation - Start

We mentioned this previously in the tutorial, but PowerPoint (which does not offer the more advanced 3D customization options), does still give you the freedom to choose how you want certain animations to work.

In the case of the ‘Animations-Start’ option, the goal is to decide when an animation starts playing. Do you want it to start after a click? Or maybe you want it to start up immediately? Whatever the case may be, this function will let you choose the specifics.

044. Animation - Duration

Next, we decide how long you want the animation to last. For example, if you chose to add a PowerPoint 3D rotation animation into a character, how long do you want it to spin before it settles into place? Perhaps only a second? Perhaps more? Whatever you chose, this is the option that will let you finalize that.

05Animation - Delay

This one is self-explanatory as well. But suffice to say, the ‘Delay’ option is for deciding how much an animation is delayed before starting. For example, if you chose to start it ‘On Click’ you can increase the delay to keep it from playing immediately on click.

06Break Up Presentation into Sections

A lot of PowerPoint templates, you’ll find, are naturally broken into sections. This is because it is easier to consume it in that way. It’s also a good signal to your audience as to what point of the presentation you are on. Are you in the beginning? The middle? Near the end? Etc. In this case, the best option for showing it is transitions that separate the sections from one another.

07Add Animation - Entrance

As promised earlier, we’ll be going through each type of animation is available under the ‘Add Animation’ option. The first is “Entrance” animations. This one is pretty easy to guess. It makes up a variety of animations that serve as its entrance animation. Here are some examples:

● Appear: To have objects appear without any other effect.

● Fade: To have objects fade into view.

● Bounce: To have objects bounce into view.

● Swivel: To have objects swivel into view.

08Add Animation - Emphasis

This next animation style is to give emphasis to an already-present object. For example, at a click, you can have a text box ‘Pulse’ and become the center of attention. You can change ‘Object Color’ to make it stand out. And so on.

099. Add Animation - Exit

Opposite of the ‘Entrance’ animations are the ‘Exit’ animations. You’ll notice that the style of animations is the same here. The only difference is that the animations occur to exit the project out of the presentation. For example, an image exiting to reveal text. Or text flying out to be replaced with more text, etc.

10Add Animation - Motion Path

We’ve already mentioned the PowerPoint Motion Path animation style previously, but just to reiterate some things, this is the most customizable animation feature on PowerPoint. One that allows you to move objects across the slide in whatever way you wish. In our example, we created a motion path animation that took the character from the center of the screen to the left of the screen.

● Key Takeaways from This Episode →

● While videos are the most popular way to share information, there are some presentations that require a heavier guiding hand.

● In these situations, a PowerPoint presentation, carefully animated, can serve in place of an edited video.

● There are templates available that you can take advantage of if you’d prefer to start with something to work from. We introduced some in this article that we think were particularly notable.

● But, of course, more careful personalization is sometimes necessary. In that case, we hope that you find our tutorial and our list of PowerPoint techniques helpful.

However, of course, sometimes a personal touch is important in a presentation — important to have a ‘voice’ attached to the image on the screen. But just because this is the case, doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t go all out on your presentation. Hence, why moving animation PowerPoint templates are such a big deal:

01Company Presentation PowerPoint Template

For the first of the Moving Animation PowerPoint templates that we have to introduce, we chose the ‘Company Presentation PowerPoint Template.’ As you can perhaps guess from the name, it’s a very professional template. It comes with a total of 500 sample slides that you can choose from (50 of which are unique), and it’s set up with professional animations that can spice up your presentation without making it look gaudy or over-the-top.

02Move Animated PowerPoint Template

Next is the modern, minimalistic template called “Move Animated.” This one is a lot more versatile, with every single one of the 144 unique slides available suitably animated. The best part of it is definitely the easy way in which it can be used. With the modern, minimalistic style, it’s easy enough to remove the presets and replace them with suitable company or product images to promote your content, idea, or project.

0340 Animated Conceptual Slides for PowerPoint

Again, we have another modern and minimalistic kind of PowerPoint template with ‘40 Animated Conceptual Slides for PowerPoint.’ It comes with 40 modern slides, all of which come fully animated are easy enough to customize with your own branding or content.

04UNIGRAPH - Animated & Creative Template (PPTX)

For a bit more fun, our next template is “UNIGRAPH.” This still definitely fits the description ‘minimalistic’ but the pop of color and effects that it brings to the table gives it a different kind of vibe from all the others. No less professional, but certainly more fun. Of course, most importantly, perhaps, is the fact that each slide is smoothly animated.

05Graph & Charts PowerPoint Presentation

For this next one, we introduce a template set called “Graphs & Charts” for those who may want to present their products, projects, ideas, etc. in the shape of graphs and charts. It’s perfect for professionals, certainly. Especially with its clean look, brightened only by occasional pops of color that can be seen from the graphs and charts that it comes with.

06Laststyle - PowerPoint Template

This next PowerPoint template is most suited for businesses looking to promote their products. The creator of the template has provided five different colored versions of the template, each with 30 unique slides that were carefully sectioned with suitable animations.

Part 2 How to Create a Moving Animation in PowerPoint

Now we come to the point of the article where we speak directly to those who may want to experiment more by personally creating a moving animation PowerPoint. For this example, we’ll be teaching you how to create a path animation PowerPoint with the available tools that the software offers under ‘Animation.’ Stick around if you want to learn more.

01Step 1. Open Project.

First things first, of course. Start a new project. When you’ve started, move on to the Animation tab (which we’ve pointed out in the image below.)

02Step 2. Add Animation.

Then, make sure to select the object or model that you want to animate (in this case, we’ve inserted a 2D model of a businessman), and then click the ‘Add Animation’ button (shown in the image below.)

03Step 3. Choose Animation.

Under ‘Add Animation’ you’ll find several different options for animations that you can choose from. Of course, since our goal is to create a PowerPoint Motion Path Animation, we have selected one of the ‘Motion Path’ options.

04Step 4. Choose Motion Path Animation

In order to make motion animation in PowerPoint, you must select one of the offered ‘Motion Paths’ (i.e., Bounce, Line, Arcs, etc.) and then use the motion path tool that appears to control the direction you wish to make your character move.

In this example, we chose the ‘Lines’ motion path (1) and then used the line tool to create a path for our businessman model. To walk from the right side of the screen towards the left.

05Step 5. Adjust Animation.

With path animation PowerPoint complete, you can adjust as needed with the tools provided. For example, you can have the character start moving as soon as the slide opens, or wait until a minute has passed, you can extend the animation by changing duration, etc.

Part 3 10 Moving Animation PowerPoint Techniques

For this last step, we break down some important PowerPoint 3D Animation need-to-knows. Including the specifics provided by each of the options made available to you and why it’s important to explore every single one to create better and more professional-looking presentations.

01Transitions

When it comes to PowerPoint presentations, most people are no doubt the most familiar with ‘Transitions’ when talking in terms of adding animation into a presentation. This one decides whether you want to shift from one slide to another smoothly, or if you want the previous slide to break into splinters, or rotate into the next slide, and so on and so forth. It’s an ‘in-between’ animation that signals where one ends and the other begins.

02Animations

Now, for the ‘Animations’ tab, we focus on animations that occur in the slide (not in-between like transitions). This can include a wide array of things. Whether it be characters moving (like shown in the tutorial we provided), text boxes appearing and disappearing in short order, images bouncing into view in dramatic fashion, and so on and so forth. There’s lots of potential here.

03Animation - Start

We mentioned this previously in the tutorial, but PowerPoint (which does not offer the more advanced 3D customization options), does still give you the freedom to choose how you want certain animations to work.

In the case of the ‘Animations-Start’ option, the goal is to decide when an animation starts playing. Do you want it to start after a click? Or maybe you want it to start up immediately? Whatever the case may be, this function will let you choose the specifics.

044. Animation - Duration

Next, we decide how long you want the animation to last. For example, if you chose to add a PowerPoint 3D rotation animation into a character, how long do you want it to spin before it settles into place? Perhaps only a second? Perhaps more? Whatever you chose, this is the option that will let you finalize that.

05Animation - Delay

This one is self-explanatory as well. But suffice to say, the ‘Delay’ option is for deciding how much an animation is delayed before starting. For example, if you chose to start it ‘On Click’ you can increase the delay to keep it from playing immediately on click.

06Break Up Presentation into Sections

A lot of PowerPoint templates, you’ll find, are naturally broken into sections. This is because it is easier to consume it in that way. It’s also a good signal to your audience as to what point of the presentation you are on. Are you in the beginning? The middle? Near the end? Etc. In this case, the best option for showing it is transitions that separate the sections from one another.

07Add Animation - Entrance

As promised earlier, we’ll be going through each type of animation is available under the ‘Add Animation’ option. The first is “Entrance” animations. This one is pretty easy to guess. It makes up a variety of animations that serve as its entrance animation. Here are some examples:

● Appear: To have objects appear without any other effect.

● Fade: To have objects fade into view.

● Bounce: To have objects bounce into view.

● Swivel: To have objects swivel into view.

08Add Animation - Emphasis

This next animation style is to give emphasis to an already-present object. For example, at a click, you can have a text box ‘Pulse’ and become the center of attention. You can change ‘Object Color’ to make it stand out. And so on.

099. Add Animation - Exit

Opposite of the ‘Entrance’ animations are the ‘Exit’ animations. You’ll notice that the style of animations is the same here. The only difference is that the animations occur to exit the project out of the presentation. For example, an image exiting to reveal text. Or text flying out to be replaced with more text, etc.

10Add Animation - Motion Path

We’ve already mentioned the PowerPoint Motion Path animation style previously, but just to reiterate some things, this is the most customizable animation feature on PowerPoint. One that allows you to move objects across the slide in whatever way you wish. In our example, we created a motion path animation that took the character from the center of the screen to the left of the screen.

● Key Takeaways from This Episode →

● While videos are the most popular way to share information, there are some presentations that require a heavier guiding hand.

● In these situations, a PowerPoint presentation, carefully animated, can serve in place of an edited video.

● There are templates available that you can take advantage of if you’d prefer to start with something to work from. We introduced some in this article that we think were particularly notable.

● But, of course, more careful personalization is sometimes necessary. In that case, we hope that you find our tutorial and our list of PowerPoint techniques helpful.
