POWERPOINT Animation - Missing feature

Question

Ok, I understand that powerpoint was not designed for animation in the first place. Though I realized that there is one feature missing.

A ability to add a new animation upon the transformed (animated) objects).

The snag is that when I move the object from one corner to another, I see only the starting position - I don't see the exact place where it lands. And when I need to add something to the end position I actually should guess where it is. (it indicates the end position but disappears once I am trying to choose any other object).

I know that there are some tricks and technichenies how to overcome this limitation. For example, reverse motion.

But the second snag appears when you need to shrink or enlarge an abject (and also simultaneously move it, why not?). There is no motion path for a size change.

I can give other exmaples, but I hope you got the idea.

The solution is very simple - Pause/Frame by Frame Playback button. So to have the ability to see the animation in frame by frame mode so you can add any other object whereever/whenever you need.

One simple feature that will address a bunch of issues and will UPGRADE the animation to new level.

(I hope MS developers will see this discussion).

Hello

I am Abdal and I would be glad to help you with your question.

The feature you suggest of a pause/frame by frame playback button in PowerPoint for animations is a common request among users. It would allow for more precision and control in the animation process, as well as provide a clearer understanding of the final result. While it's difficult to say if this feature will be added in the future, it's always helpful to share your suggestions with the development team so they can consider the demand for such a feature.
