.gif Animation Looping: Customize It To Your Liking!
Create life in your PowerPoint presentations by adding an animated .GIF
, which can help call attention to a point or idea on your slide. However, use these .GIF animations with caution. Your viewers can become distracted by adding too much animation to a slide and the last thing we want to do is distract from our message.Usually a .GIF animation is set to loop over and over again forever. This might be cool at first but also may become distracting for your viewers if you plan to stay on that slide for awhile. Your viewers attention may become drawn to the looping animation instead of focusing there attention to your overall presentation. Wouldn't it be great if this animation could bring focus to your idea, point or concept and then stop letting you finish talking about the information on the slide with no distractions.
This would be absolutely wonderful!.... and this is the answer to this very problem. A tool has been found at a website called www.PresenterMedia.com that lets you set the number of loops in your animations right on a web page without downloading any kind of software! This customizer also has other features allowing you to control things like the intensity of the .GIFS shadow and reflection, change the background color and use an interactive slider allowing you to re-size the animation to your liking.
The layout of the animation customizer is very clean and easy to use. Just by clicking the number of loops area in this customizer, you can change the animation looping from one to six times or make it loop indefinitely.
My personal preference if to set the animation to loop only once or twice for my animated PowerPoint templates, this lets me spruce up my slide without causing the animation to become a distraction in my presentation.
For now, this customizer is the only way I have found to change the number of loops in your .Gif animations right on a web page.
