I'm relatively new and thus far self-trained (not to mention the training I've received in this community) in the area of course development. I'm trying to create an animation such that a vehicle drives onto the screen at the beginning of the slide, remains stationary while the slide is fully viewed, drives off the screen at the end of the slide and drives onto the next slide as if it's traveling from one slide to another. I've got the entrance animation down but could use help on the rest.
Hi Jill. Welcome! Take a look at this and see if it's what you're looking for. I have it set up automatic but you can change it to come in and out on a click instead.
Also take a look at the Animation Timing settings.
Am I missing something? I was unable to view your demo (CarAnimation.pptx). I tried just double-clicking the file & Saving/Extracting it & what I get looks like source files. I have Powerpoint 20101 & Articulate Studio '09 loaded on my computer, so it should play, right? This isn't the first time I've had this problem, either. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!
You know what? I just saw someone else post that question in another discussion. I know it has been a topic several times, but I've never had it happen to me so I'm not quite sure what the issue is. Maybe another community member will chime in and tell us.
Hi all! If you're having trouble opening the file, try right-clicking Natalia's attachment above and using your browser's "Save As" option. (It'll be something like "Save target as," or "Save Link as.") Once you've saved the file to your computer, rename the extension to .pptx and try opening the file in PowerPoint. Let us know if that doesn't work & we'll figure out a different way to get the file to ya.
I'm still unable to view it or the desktop calendar template. I don't get an option to change the .zip to .pptx; I only have achoice of .zip or "All Files." It's so weird, because I've been able to open other files, but once in a while I have this problem.
Here is a zipped version. Maybe that will help. If it doesn't and you would still like to see it, message me your email and I'll send it to you directly.
I am working on a lesson about marketing and distribution (which can be pretty boring) BUT maybe an animated delivery truck would at least help liven things up.
Wanting to challenge myself, I decided to take what you made and try a little different way of animating the scene to create motion.
I have only PPT 2003 so I don't have the advanced animation options, nor have I had the opportunity to go through Tom's tutorial on lining up motion path start/stop points, so it's a little rough but you'll get the idea. I also tried to incorporate a little of David's parallax tutorial as well.
Doing it this way would obviously require having a wide enough background to make the effect work, or at least background that you can 'tile'.
Natalia, your presentation works perfectly. David, I really like the way you did this. That lines effect on the picture really does make it feel like motion. Thanks!

By the way, if I assumed too much and you need step by step instructions on any of that, just let me know.
Natalia,

Was anyone ever able to view the file I attached?
Natalia,
This is SUPER cool! I just downloaded and viewed the file - works great for me. Awesome job - thanks!

That time there was a PPT file included which I was able to open. Looks good! Thanks!
After all that, it was probably a bit anti-climactic
Good idea about the moving car!

Very cool, Natalia!

This was a fun excercise for me!
Nice one, David!
