Transitions are animations that appear between PowerPoint slides when you advance from one slide to the next during your presentation. Examples of transitions include a slide dissolving into the next slide, a slide pushing the previous slide off-screen, and so on. PowerPoint includes more than 50 different transitions. Used wisely, transitions can make your PowerPoint presentation look even more impressive.

It’s usually a good idea to use the same transition throughout your presentation. Using the same transition not only gives your presentation consistency, but also makes it look more professional. The exception to this rule is that many presentations have one slide that deserves to have attention called to it. Sometimes, it makes sense to use a different transition to introduce that special slide. But, most of the time, you’ll look more professional if you use only one transition throughout your whole presentation.
When you select this option, PowerPoint prints a thumbnail of the slide along. To choose a PDF format, click the PDF button at the bottom of the Print dialog box. Slides as graphics, or you can even send the presentation to your video iPod.
You can also decide to use no transitions between slides. If you don’t use any transition, when you click to advance to the next slide, the next slide replaces the current slide instantly with no animation.
Transitions work pretty much the same as themes and layouts. Click a thumbnail to apply the transition (theme, layout) to the selected slides.
