You can add animation to Google Slides to make your presentations more dynamic and engaging. Here's how:

Adding Animations to Objects

2. Open the Animations panel: Click the "Animations" tab in the toolbar.
3. Choose an animation: Select from the list of animations, including "Entrance," "Emphasis," "Exit," and "Motion Paths."

Adding Transitions Between Slides

1. Select the slide: Click on the slide you want to add a transition to.

3. Choose a transition: Select from a variety of transitions like "Fade," "Push," "Wipe," and "Zoom."
4. Customize the transition: Adjust the speed, duration, and effect of the transition.

Here are some examples of transitions:

• Fade: The previous slide gradually fades out as the next slide fades in.
• Push: The previous slide is pushed off-screen as the next slide slides in.
• Wipe: The previous slide is wiped off-screen as the next slide appears.
• Zoom: The previous slide zooms out while the next slide zooms in.
