Animations Doubling Up when set to "By Paragraph"

Jul 18, 2023

I have text timed to animate onto a slide along with an audio track. I have the animation set to "By Paragraph" so I can time the animations by bullet point. Everything looks right on the timeline, however on many slides when a bullet point animates onto the slide, the previous bullet point also animates at the same time to the slide, even though it animated previously and has already appeared onto the slide. 

Since everything looks correct on the timeline, I'm not sure how to fix this.

Hi Amy,

Great question! I understand that your textboxes that are set to animate “by paragraph” aren’t working correctly. I'd love to know more about your setup so we can figure this out together.

  • Is this happening with all of your slides with animated bulletpoints? If not, can you check if there are any differences in the setup between the slides that work and the slides that don’t?

Also, would you be willing to share your file here or with our support engineers privately in a support case so we can troubleshoot the issue?

Thanks for reaching out and I look forward to your response!
