Types of Animation in PowerPoint
Before starting to add animation, It is important for you to know the types of animations in PowerPoint. The type or style of animation you can add depends on the type of object you choose. In PowerPoint there are four types of animations, that is :
- Entrance, is an animation that displays or inserts an object into a slide. Before the animation is executed the object is not visible, after the animation is executed the object will be visible inside slide.
- Emphasis, is a color changing animation, shape, the size or position of the object in the slide will then return to its original state. Before and after the animation plays the object remains inside slide.
- Exit, is the opposite of entrance, This animation will remove/remove the object from the slide. After the animation plays, objects become invisible inside slide.
- Motion Path, is an animation for moving objects (move places) according to the path created.
These four types of animation have several different effects with different effect options and additional options.

2.2. Determining the Animation Start Time
You can specify the same or different start times for multiple animations. By setting a different start time, You can play all animations sequentially or alternately.
Below is a selection of animation start times:
- Start On Click, meaning the animation starts when you click the mouse.
- Start With Previous, meaning the animation starts at the same time as the previous animation. This setting combines several effects at once.
- Start After Previous, meaning the animation effect starts as soon as the previous animation finishes executing.
To determine the start time of the animation, click the object you have added the animation to, on the tab Animations, in the group Timing select one of the available options, Start: On Click, With Previous or After Previous

5. Setting Animation Sequence in PowerPoint
From Animation Pane, You can see a list of some of the animations that have been added. PowerPoint will play the animations in the order in the list from top to bottom. This animation sequence is closely related to the start time settings that have been applied previously.
If you have added multiple animations with the same start time, example Start On Click or Start With Previous then you will see that each animation stick is aligned with each other so that the ordering is not affected.
If you have added several animations with different start times, example Start After Previous or with delay, then you will see animated bars with positions that are not parallel to each other, so this will affect the overall animation playback.
Therefore, You can rearrange the animation sequence to match the sequence . To set the animation sequence, Click on the object name in the animation list and then on the tab Animations, group section Timing, part Reorder Animation, click Move Earlier or Move Later
You can also set the animation sequence by selecting the name of the object then clicking and dragging it to the position you want, for example up or down.
