Okay, instead of wasting time and showing you how to animate the first text, how to animate the second text, how to animate the box on the right side, I'll just show you the coolest trick you can do with slides where you have like text, and you would like to do something with the text because it's very boring. You can click on this text. And I'm not 100% sure that this is available in all PowerPoint versions, but definitely in 2016, it was available, I think, in 2013, as well 2019 of course, the PowerPoint for Mac, I'm not sure, but I want to show you this here. Perhaps there are similar options in other versions and the newest version. And also in the bit older ones, you have font color. Let me click on that.
And you can see it slowly turns into orange, we can utilize this even more. Open the animation pane. And let me tinker with the animation which we have here since the text is already here. I will not bother to like change the text or make it appear on the screen. I just want the text to be the fleshy part here. Considering what I'm doing, I could even consider deleting the sale.
Okay, right click on the text, select with previous, just in case, double click on this animation. When you go to its effect in the font color, you can select the font color. But in the style right now, as you previewed it, it slowly turned from white to orange. If you want it to get back to orange later on, you can enable auto reverse, so it will go from white to orange. And again from orange to white. Note that this will extend the duration of this animation by an entire segment.
So this animation instead of two seconds, will take four seconds because we have the auto reverse. Okay, that aside in this title options. You also have this fleshy coral for versions. And depending on which color you select, there are a bunch of different files. But for example, orange works really well because it has this kind of rainbow effect. I also like this rainbow effect, I make a smooth end and smooth start just so the animation isn't so linear, I want the animation to flow and go back.
Something like this. On the bottom, we have animate text, and I do not want everything to be animated at once. I want to be animated by letter. And so the animation won't be too long. I will reduce the percentage to 3% delay between letters. Let me select Okay, let's preview how this looks like.
As you can see, this animation takes now five seconds to play. So with the reversing, it would take 10 seconds. You can grab the yellow part if you want to reduce the bilateral options. So Now this animation takes 3.5 seconds, together seven seconds, shift f5 to preview what's happened. We have this beautiful coloristic. And if you don't like it, you can extend this, of course, this will look a little slower.
I really enjoy this type of animation, just look at the slide if we delete the sale, if we put this in the middle, if we maybe make this a bit quicker and last part slower, okay? It will allow low in nicer into the letters. In my opinion, this animation is really, really beautiful. What you could do, you could double click on it, you could make it repeat until end of slide. This way, it will use the timing of the transitions of this slide and it will call and recall back on till we stopped This video, I think this is really great for some Instagram stories or Instagram posts or just to post videos around the web. If you are doing some social media marketing, this would be the perfect way to display your text.
I hope this trick will be very useful to you. And this is something completely unique and very rarely anyone does this. Or people do not know that this is available in PowerPoint. So be smarter and utilize what you can do. And you will be surely praised by this type of animation because it's really custom. Thank you for listening to this lecture.
I hope everything was crystal clear. We see each other in the next lecture. I'll just show you one small little trick on this slide as well. And we are basically done with the initial animation of our our slides.
