BEST PowerPoint Animation - TEXT SLICE Effect!🔥

Introduction

In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a stunning text slice animation effect in PowerPoint. This effect can enhance your presentations and make your text stand out. Follow the steps below to master this animation technique.

Step 1: Set Up Your Slide

• Open PowerPoint and create a new slide.
• Insert a dark photo as the background:
  • Go to the Slide Master View.
  • Add a photo from a free source like Freepik.
  • Position it as needed and ensure it’s not selectable in the normal view.
• Insert a single text box:
  • Click on the "Insert" tab and select "Text Box."
  • Type your desired text (e.g., "Text").
  • Center the text box on the slide and adjust the font and size as needed.

Step 2: Create the Slice Effect

• Insert a rectangle to slice the text:
  • Go to the "Insert" tab, select "Shapes," and choose a rectangle.
  • Adjust the rectangle's fill transparency:
    • Right-click the rectangle, select "Format Shape," and set the fill transparency.
  • Rotate the rectangle by -10 degrees to define the slice edge.
• Duplicate the slide:
  • Right-click the slide in the slide sorter and select "Duplicate Slide."

Step 3: Slice the Text

• On the duplicated slide, select both the text box and the rectangle:
  • Hold the Shift key and select both.
• Go to the "Shape Format" tab:
  • Click on "Merge Shapes" and choose "Subtract" to extract the top part of the text.
• Repeat the process for the bottom part:
  • Select the text and the rectangle again and choose "Intersect."
• Cut and paste the bottom part into the slide with the top part.

Step 4: Refine the Text Appearance

• Select both parts of the text and add a white outline:
  • This helps to hide the edge created during the slicing process.
• Rename the text parts in the Selection Pane for better organization.

Step 5: Add Motion Path Animations

• Adjust the transparency of the top text part to see the slice angle.
• Insert a small diamond shape:
  • Go to "Insert," select "Shapes," and choose a diamond.
  • Resize and rotate the diamond to match the slice angle.
• Add a motion path animation to the diamond:
  • Select the diamond, go to the "Animations" tab, and choose "Add Animation" > "Motion Paths" > "Line."
  • Adjust the motion path to match the angle of the slice.
  • Set the duration to 0.5 seconds and enable smooth start and end.

Step 6: Animate the Text Parts

• Select the top text part and add a motion path animation:
  • Repeat the process of adding a motion path and adjust its angle and duration.
• Add a delay of 0.25 seconds for the top text animation.
• Use the Animation Painter to copy the animation from the top text part to the bottom one.
• Shorten the bottom text's motion path and add a delay of 0.4 seconds.
