Video\movement effects

Hi,

We're starting a big project that will include short learning units about software prgramming, architecture, new features etc,. 
Basicly - boring stuff :-P

We would like to make the result look more as a video, or to have some movement in it (in topics we're not using Captivate ot other cursor-based simulations).

On the other hand, we're talking about a massive amount of materials (for a huge audience, each will be consuming a small part of the learning units available, based on their needs) - so adding lots of custome animations in each unit - will be too time consuming.  

Best would be to find things that will provide such an effect, and can be added to the development templates.

The sliding slides are an option, the animated scenario can also server this purpose.  

More ideas?

Thanks!
