Transition Types | Set a Slide Transition | Configure a Transition

To liven up your presentations, you can set each slide to have a transition effect. When the slide is displayed, rather than merely popping up on the screen, the slide contents can be unveiled using a few different animation effects.

## Transition Types

Gobe Productive presentations includes the following transition types.

> Jump: This is the standard slide transition. There are no effects, the slide just appears all at once.

> Wipe: The slide is wiped off the screen and replaced with the next slide.

> Venetian Blinds: The slide is cut up into sections and each section "flips" to the next slide.

> Elevator Doors: The slide is cut in half and each half slides out.

## To Set a Slide Transition

1. From the Presentation Palette, click the transition tool.
2. Select the transition you want for the slide from the drop-down menu.

## To Configure a Transition

1. Transitions have some effects options you can configure.
2. From the Transition tool for a slide, select Settings from the drop-down menu.
3. From the Slide Transition dialog box displayed, select the transition type you want to configure.
4. The following settings are available for each transition type:
