Free PowerPoint Effects Template

Over the last year, I’ve had really great results and responses from my live presentations at seminars around the country. One of my favorite’s has been one called: “How To Create Your Very Own Killer Video In 45 Minutes!”

In that presentation, I use a PowerPoint 2010 template with nice design and some “pre-built” animation effects. What I found was:

I ended up using those particular effects over and over again in LOTS of PowerPoint videos since then!

So…I created a slide deck with my 4 favorite effects that I use as a template and I thought others might find it useful too.

I also had a bit of fun with this video by creating a little sound track for it in my recording studio! 😉  Here ya go:

(Viewing Tip: Change the Quality Setting to 720p HD and kick it into Full Screen)

You can open or download the PowerPoint file here:

I’d LOVE to hear your thoughts, comments, or questions.

NOTE: This template only works for PowerPoint 2010 or HIGHER…

Thanks and have fun!

Hi Lon
Thanks, I look forward to playing with this!

2 quick questions… well, 2-1/2…. 🙂

Where/how do you “preview” your effect so you know if you’ve done the bounce the amount you want, etc., for instance?

In your video… what did you use to do the big red arrows and post it notes – And when did you apply or add it?

    Hi Christine,
    To preview an effect I usually just kick it into Slide Show and see what happens.

    I use the Big Red Cursor. Just Google that and get it from the Bill Myers site where he has a video tutorial on how to install it. I sometimes also use the Cursor Effects in Camtasia and make the cursor a little bigger. The Post-It note is just a Custom Callout graphic…can’t remember where I got it but you might try searching http://graphicriver.net

Hey Lon,

Great video and the effects look amazing!

I checked it out with Office 2007 and I did get the same effects although not all 4 FX worked.

Anyway, thank you for the tips, really appreciate it.

Lon, Those are WAY COOL!!!! Thank you so much. I have been using power point to do live workshops and just invested in Camtasia and your training to learn to do more with my workshop content. It is the best training I have had so far. The animations you’ve shown are some of the hidden treasures to PPT. Thanks for uncovering them & sharing with us!!!

Thanks for the template. I’m sure it will come in handy in the near future. It’s an excellent way to save certain slide effects.

Thanks Lon

Lon,
I haven’t tried it yet, but here is a suggestion – this is what I did from watching the tutorial.
I created a first slide called How to Use These Effects with these 4 bullet points.
Choose Animation Pane.
Click on object, then Animation Painter.
Click on new object in new presentaon.
Will have same effect as first one.

Also, check out actual settings to see how effect was created.

    Lon Naylor Reply

    Absolutely! That’s the whole idea. The Animation Painter (in PowerPoint 2010) makes this super simple. 😉

Really wonderful little effects, that will be so useful. Thanks for the video on exactly how to use them. Pictures are worth a thousand words. And…I love the sound track. Fun !!!

Thank you so much, Lon!

I’m not a fan of animations, but having said that, I think this a a very good lesson. Knowledge of the transition painted was the most valuable part.

Hello. How can i make a voice over while typing into a PowerPoint Template?
If i were to print a child’s poem. Mary Had A Little Lamb.

How do i print Mary Had A…and speak as I am typing ?
Thank you sir. Every Video you present are amazing.
You both are a very talented people with PowerPoint and Camtasia.
Looking forward to your instructions. Laurence.

    Lon Naylor Reply

    Hi Laurence. I think we might be chatting about this elsewhere? I wouldn’t try to do both at them same time. I would create the audio narration and then the slide with the text animating in…insert the audio file and then record the slideshow to time and sync the words.

    Here’s an example of the process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GUoV3qofCA

    Your case will require a bit more work on animating (because the words perhaps come too quick to “click” them in effectively.

    Maybe I can do a quick sample video to demonstrate. Also, if you want to do such a thing rather quick & easy, http://www.powtoon might be an easier tool.

What a nice gift! I especially like the quote builder which displays a quote more creatively.

I love creating my own animations but I never thought of saving them as a template, so I will definitely be trying that myself. You also got me thinking about what kind of a useful template I can create to give away to my clients and prospects!

Thanks for the inspiration as well as the tools themselves.

Michael Hickey Reply

Those are just awesome. It’s that cool extra effort that sets your videos so far apart from the corporate dude that is up to his a** in his bullet points and thinks he’s good at PowerPoint.

This template alone makes your course worth the price of admission.

Thanks again……….
