Sometimes we have to use images that are complex, such as diagrams or charts that come from other sources. It would be easier to explain to the audience if we could build it one piece at a time so we can walk the audience step by step through each part of the image. But the image came from another source as a picture, so PowerPoint’s animation feature can’t break it apart for us. We don’t want to recreate the entire image in PowerPoint because that would take too long. This video shows you how to break the image into pieces and put them together in a way that each piece can be built on the slide using animation. This will make it easier for you to explain the image and make it easier for the audience to understand it. Click the Full Screen button in the lower right of the video to make it as large as your screen so it is easier to see the step-by-step instructions.
