Hey everyone. So in this first example, we're going to look at bulleted text and then how to show an image after you show some bulleted text. So let's say you have some bulleted text that you want to show while you narrate over slides, and you want each bullet point to appear when you click. Then after the text appears, you want an image to appear like this. So I'm going to show you what this is going to look like first, and then we're going to walk through it step by step. So that would be bullet point one, text one, text to text three.

And then you have an image appear. And yes, I chose this cute little kitten because I love cat. Alright, so I'm gonna back out of here and show you how to do this on the next slide step by step. So we're going to do it together. So first, you start by writing out the text on the PowerPoint slide first. So I'm going to go up to insert here and I'm going to insert a text box.

I'm going to type text one. Alright, so there's our first bullet point, so to speak. And then we can actually put a bullet there if you want, so we can have it like this. And then I'm going to highlight I'm going to, I'm highlighting it right now. And we're going to go up to animations. And we're going to choose one of the entrance ones.

And all the ones in here in green here are entrance animations. You can also go over here to add animation. And you can see the different types. So this is the entrance ones, these are emphasis. And the red ones are the exit animations and they're there. There's other things here, motion paths that we're not going to get into in this video, but maybe another video we can explore that.

So I'm gonna use fade here and it shows you a little preview and Do it as well. And also you should have over here your you should have your animation pane right here. So click on this, if it's not already click, so you just do that. And then on the right hand side, you can see, you'll be able to see everything that you add to every item on your screen. So this is your kind of like, where you can manipulate things here too, because there's options and different things here. So we'll get into that in a second.

Okay, so one of the things we need to look at over here on the right hand side in the animation pane, is make sure this says start on click so that when you click anywhere on the screen, this text, this bulleted text is going to show up by fading it. You could start you could click Start with previous or start after previous but those are usually when you have something else before this and you want it to start at the same time as the other item. So that's the one thing for this one. What is Make sure this starts on click. So now we're going to repeat this for text two and text three. So I'm just gonna copy and paste this.

So now I have three of them. And I'm just gonna, I'm going to read label these. Okay, and I'm just going to line these up a bit better. And then I'm going to add the same animation. Actually, it should be on there already. And it is because we just copied and pasted it and see this little number here.

123 That's indicating your animation that you've applied. So you can also see that on the right over here. So each text box you can check will start on click. So let's go and find preview this. So I'm just going to go down here to the slideshow. And when I click text one, text to text three, there we go.

Okay, so now we're going to insert an image. So I'm just gonna go and choose the one that I've shown you in the example. So just go to insert pictures, and I'm gonna pick the cat image, insert, and it's quite large, so I'm just gonna make that smaller. Maybe not that small. Okay, and so now, we're gonna have this pop up, after we show the text boxes, and we're assuming these are longer than I'm showing here. This is just as an example.

So this would probably overlap some of the text. So we can just line that up, however you like, somewhere in the middle. Alright, and then we're gonna add an animation to that. So I'm gonna To add, I think zoom in for that. There we go. And now, we have all these entrance animations, but we want the text here to go away.

We don't want it to be up when the cat is there. So I'm going to choose, I'm going to select all three of these. There we go. And then I'm going to go up here to add animation. And I'm now going to go down to the red ones here and select. Let's see, shrink and turn, I think.

All right, and then I'm going to make sure that if you go over to the right here, you see picture seven. Picture seven is my image of the cat. I'm going to make sure that number five here, which is this group here, I'm going to make sure that starts with previous right here. So that when the picture comes in these ones All out. So that's pretty much all there is to it for this one. So let's go preview that.

All right, we'll go preview this. So I click once, twice. Third time, we see the text boxes and then I click again, and the image appears and the text disappears. So that's all for this animation. I hope this was helpful to show you some basic animations and layering you can do in PowerPoint. Now we're going to go a bit deeper and look at some more complicated animations and layering examples that I'll go through in real time step by step.
