Slide Bullets

Dec 28, 2017

What is the best way to bring individual bullets one at a time into slides?  

I would like each bullet to enter individually when I hit return on the keyboard

Hey Stephen,

Try making a textbox with your bullet points. Set the animation to Fly In, and under Effect Options set it to "By Paragraph". Create a new trigger:

Action: Pause timeline
Timeline: This slide
When: Animation completes
Object: (your textbox with bullet points)
Animation: Entrance

Then create a separate trigger:

Action: Resume timeline
Timeline: This slide
When: User presses a key
Key: Enter
Object: (your slide name)

The first trigger will freeze your slide's whole timeline as bullet points fly in, so if you have other animations occurring at the same time you may want to place the textbox on a separate slide layer and freeze only that layer's timeline. Up to you!

Hope this helps
