Magic Move

Apply the Magic Move transition and watch as repeated objects automatically animate across consecutive slides. Animations include changes in the location, scale, and rotation of any object.

Text transitions

Easily transform a line of text on one slide into another on the next. Choose from Anagram, Shimmer, Sparkle, and Swing effects.

Object-driven transitions

Use transitions to automatically build slide elements out on one slide while building different elements in on the next. Choose from object push, object zoom, perspective, and revolve effects.

Enhanced 3D charts and chart animations

Create impressive 3D charts using new cylinder shapes on bar charts, beveled edges on pie charts, and new textures (including Concrete, Granite, and Slate). Bring charts to life using builds that include Crane, Radial, and Rotate & Grow.

Image and movie optimization

Dramatically reduce file size without compromising quality by scaling down photos and graphics to match the resolution of your presentation. Reduce the size of movies by keeping only the frames used in your presentation.

Connection lines

Create dynamic flowcharts and diagrams by adding a connection line between any two selected objects. The connection lines remain anchored even when objects are repositioned.You can turn a connection line into a curved line by dragging a single point.
