Reverse Wheel in PowerPoint

What do you want to do with it?  What's the purpose? 

You can easily capture the motion using Captivate to record what's happening on the screen.  You can embed the published Captivate output in your Articulate module.  But without knowing what you're trying to do, there's no way to know if that meets your needs or not.

Hi Jen,

I would have swore you could reverse the wheel animation but I couldn't figure it out either. This isn't the most elegant solution but might get you what you want... or give you an idea of how to get there

Natalia, that's a very creative solution! Kind of like reverse engineering.

Thank you all for your replies! Rebecca, I have been thinking of creating a handwriting effect in PPT but got stuck with the letter "o," as the wheel animation works only in clockwise, and most people write/print the letter "o" in counterclockwise motion. I did find a solution at http://www.powerpoint-answers.com/microsoft/PowerPoint/31606068/anticlockwise-wheel-wipe.aspx that works pretty well. However, Natalia, I really like your example better! I'm sure it's a slower process, but it ends up looking great. Thanks so much!

Well good. You know it really wasn't that bad. Just duplicate and place. I added the disappear animations to all at once, set them to Start After Previous, fiddled with the timing a bit and then formatted them all to white in one go. Not as easy as applying one quick animation but not so cumbersome that it isn't worth it.

I know it has been 5 years since the matter but for newcomers i will offer a solution.

1. Add entrance wheel animation.

2. Add emphasis spin animation. Make it "start with previous", from effect options make the direction "counter clockwise" and set the duration to 0,875 x duration of wheel animation. For example: Wheel: 2 secs + Spin 1.75, wheel: 1 sec + spin: 0.88 sec, wheel 0.5 sec + spin: 0.44 sec.

It works for circular shapes...
