Slide Animations

Tutorial AI applies built-in animations to auto-generated slides (Title, Agenda, Topic intro). On top of that, every text box and image on a slide can have its own custom animation — controlling how it appears, how it leaves, and how it moves while on screen.

Opening the Animations panel

Select an image or text box on a slide, then switch to the Animations tab in the right-hand panel.

All four animation areas live here: Entrance, Timing, Exit, and Motion effects.

Entrance animations

Pick from the Animation Type dropdown:

Option	Effect
Fade in	Element softly appears from invisible
Move in	Element travels into position from off-element
Slide in	Element slides in from outside the slide edge
Zoom in	Element scales up from small to full size

Timing

By default, animations play at the start of the slide. Add a delay (in seconds) to stagger elements — useful for revealing bullets one by one or holding a title before introducing supporting visuals.

Exit animations

By default, elements remain on screen until the slide transitions out. To exit earlier, set an exit animation in the Exit Animation section:

Option	Effect
Fade out	Element softly fades to invisible
Move out	Element travels off its position
Slide out	Element slides off the slide edge
Zoom out	Element scales down to invisible

Use Disappear after to specify when the exit triggers, independent of the slide’s own duration.

Tip

Exit animations are most effective in marketing content where elements need to clear before the next visual lands. For instructional content, leaving elements visible until the slide ends usually reads cleaner.

Motion effects

Motion effects animate an element while it’s on screen — not just on entrance or exit. Currently one motion effect is available:

Pan — combines movement and zoom into a single continuous animation. Parameters:

• Distance — how far the element travels
• Direction — which way it moves
• Starting zoom — scale at the beginning
• Ending zoom — scale at the end

A common use: a product shot that slowly zooms in while drifting across the slide, keeping the visual feeling alive without distracting from the narration.

Note

Slide transitions and element animations can interfere with each other, especially when both have longer durations — the slide is still moving in while elements are already trying to animate. If you want element animations to be the focus, set the Slide Transition to Direct Cut so the slide arrives instantly and gives the element animations room to breathe.

Copying animations between elements

Tune one element, then propagate the settings to others without re-picking each time.

1. On the source element, click the Copy button in the Animations tab.
2. Select the target element.
3. Press Cmd-V (Mac) or Ctrl-V (Windows).

The full animation configuration — type, timing, exit, motion — is pasted onto the target.
