Slide transition in PowerPoint is the visual effect that occurs when moving from one slide to the next during a presentation. It is an animated effect that helps to make the presentation more engaging and professional.
Slide transitions can range from simple fades or wipes to more elaborate animations that move elements of the slide around the screen. They can be set to occur automatically after a certain amount of time, or manually by clicking a button or pressing a key.
In PowerPoint, you can choose from a variety of slide transition effects, such as dissolve, fade, push, or slide. You can also set the duration of the transition and choose whether to apply the same effect to all slides or to select individual slides.
Using slide transitions effectively can help to keep the audience engaged and focused on the content of the PowerPoint presentation. However, it's important to use them sparingly and not to overdo it, as too many transitions can become distracting and reduce the effectiveness of the presentation.
