Slide transition animation in PowerPoint is the animation that occurs when you advance from slide to slide within the presentation.

You have many options for controlling the effects of the slide transition animation in PowerPoint.

For example, you can often set the speed and direction of many transition animations.

You can also add sound effects to complement the slide transition animation in PowerPoint, if desired.

To do this, select the slide or slides to which you want to apply slide transition animation from the Slides pane.

Then use the buttons and options in the Transition to This Slide button group to apply slide transition animation.

Then click the Preview button in the Preview button group to see the transition effect previewed in the slide window.

After selecting a transition effect, set the properties of the transition using the Effect Options button within this button group.

To do this, enter the amount of time to play the transition animation into the Duration spinner box.

To play a custom sound, select the Other sound choice from the buttons dropdown menu.

In the Add Audio dialog box that appears, navigate to the folder that contains the sound file to use.

It is important to note that the sound must be a WAV file type.

You can either advance the slide by mouse click andor automatically advance the slide after a predetermined time interval.

To advance to the next slide when you click your mouse button, ensure the On Mouse Click checkbox is checked.

Then enter a time duration into the small spinner box to the right.

To do this, click the Apply to All button in the Timing button group.
