I am trying to build a sequence for a course that from the first person perspective that begins with a black screen (as if you were asleep) and then you slowly open their eyes, then close them, then open them all the way and the screen gets lighter each time the eyes open. I've tried a few different custom animations and they didn't look great. I don't even need eye images, just using an oval would do as that is what I think of when I slowly open and close my own eyes.
Does this make sense, and if so, any suggestions would be appreciated.
Is this the effect you are trying to achieve? I just animated some shapes moving up and down to simulate eye lids opening and closing
I sued PPT 2010 to create the eyelids, just a rectangle with an oval shape removed (I think it was intersect) and than a semi tranparent rectangle over the image.
Hi Blair, that's exactly what I was looking for. Looks fantastic. I really need a refresher on motion paths and animations. Thanks so much for your help!
I've seen a few of these zip folders on various postings but when I download and extract the files, can't see anything but the xml files (as text) in each folder. How can I view these? Thanks
Again, thanks for sharing Blair. Articulate is a fantastic product but without the Community involvement and sharing of ideas and resources we'd not know just how good it is.

Hello Jon,
When you download it you need to add the extension ".pptx" to the file name, and change the "save as type" to "all files."
Blair,
very nice and a creative solution. Much appreciated.

Thanks, Heidi. I appreciate the help. Now I can see it.
That is a really clever effect.
Blair- what an elegant solution. I would have over-complicated that one. Nice job and thanks for sharing
