Hi, I'm Ramgopal from Presentation-Process.com.

In this video you will learn how to create a beautiful, animated PowerPoint timeline.

Normally timeline slides look like this...This is a slide that talks about five key events

of the French Revolution.

You can see this is nothing but a boring list of points.

When you present a slide like this, it is highly likely that your audience will go to

Now take a look at how the same slide can be presented.

More Interestingly, using purposeful custom animation.

I say in this slide we'll talk about five key events of French Revolution, which started

on 1789 an entered on 1794.

Let us explore the events.

The 1st event is this.

I give the explanation, then on a click I reveal the 2nd event, then the third event,

then the 4th event and the final event.

Isn't this a far more interesting way to present the same time?

Line that is the power of using purposeful custom animation.

Let us learn how to create this interesting animation from scratch.

Here I am on a new slide.

The first thing I'm going to do is to create the timeline and the various events for that,

let me go to Autoshapes Gallery from rectangles.

Let us pick up the simple rectangle tool.

And then draw a bar like this that would represent our timeline.

Let us go to shape, fill, give it a dark color, go to shape, outline, remove outline and then

let us have this bar aligned to the middle of the slide.

So, let us select the bar, go to align and say align middle perfect.

Now that we've got the timeline in place, it is time for us to mark the events.

For that let me go to Autoshapes Gallery once again.

From block arrows, I'm going to choose this shape called as arrow Pentagon and let us

draw a small shape like this go to shape fill and use the same color as this one.

Go to shape outline and say no outline and then go to rotate and say rotate left 90 degrees

and this marks one of the events.

Then let us press control D to create a duplicate and then position it a little bit away from

the first one and then hit control D again again and again.

Now we've got 5 events.

Now we need to arrange these events to ensure that they are on both sides of the bar, so

I'm going to have this and the 4th one selected while holding the shift button down and then

go to rotate and say flip vertical so I can change the direction I'm going to place this

Amber over here so that the top edge corresponds with the bot image of the bar.

And I'm going to do the same thing for this one as well, and let us have these ones positioned

Now we've got all of them positioned along the bar.

Now we need to ensure that they are all aligned properly.

So I'm going to select the top three of them.

Then go to align and say align top.

Yes, they are properly aligned.

Now I'm going to do the same thing for this one as well.

Go to align and Saalim bottom now to ensure that there is equal spacing between these

various markers, I'm going to click and drag my cursor across all of these and then go

Say distribute horizontally and there is equal spacing between them.

The next natural step is to add the.

Labels to save you some time in creating the labels.

I'm going to just pick up the labels from the previous slide.

The way I created these labels is fairly simple.

I used one text box, used a thicker font and wrote the title.

Then I picked up the text box again and then wrote this text, which explains the event.

Then I used a simple line to separate.

These two text elements, once it is done, I group them all together so that is how I

created each of these labels.

Let me select all of them while holding the shift button down.

And then I'm going to press control C to copy them and page down and press control V to

Now I need to ensure that these labels are arranged properly, so I'm going to click and

move it in such a way that the center point of this aligns with this and you can use the

smart guides for that.

For example, you can see the smart guide.

It tells me the exact center point.

Let us continue doing that for the remaining ones.

Once that is done, I'm going to select all three elements, go to, arrange, align and

say align, top, and then I'm going to move them up so that there is enough space for

the text to breathe.

Then let me do the same thing for the ones at the bottom is when select everything, then

go to arrange a line and say align bottom and then move them down to give them.

Now that we have the timeline and the labels in place, it is time for us to show the start

and the end point of this timeline.

For that, let me go to home, go to Autoshapes Gallery from basic shapes.

Let us pick up this one called as the Oval tool.

Hold the shift button down and let us draw a button like this and let us right there.

Here, in which the French Revolution started.

In this case it is 1789, and then let us use a thicker font.

Go to two, send empty condensed extra bold and then increase the size substantially like

And then let us go to shape affects.

Go to preset and use this one called us please set.

Let us give this green color to signify, start and then let us make a duplicate of this by

pressing control D and then place it over here and then let us give this red color to

signify the end point and it ended on 1794.

So let us write the ear and now we have got these two buttons in place.

Now let us select both the.

Dance press control G to group them and then bring them over here along the bar just to

ensure that these two buttons are smack in the center of this bar, I'm going to select

the bar 1st and then this group then go to arrange, align and say align center.

Now I know that it is exactly in the center now.

I can deselect it by clicking outside, then right click on this group and go to group

and say ungroup.

Now we can add our animations.

First, we need to introduce the start and end of the timeline.

So, let us select the first one, go to animations, click on animation pane so you can observe

what I'm doing.

I'm going to introduce this button with a simple zoom animation, so let us go to the

entrance animations and use zoom animation.

So that is the first thing that comes on a click.

Then let us select the second one and use the same zoom animation and this comes on

the second click.

Then on the next click we need to have both of these buttons move to the edges to reveal

For that let me go to the 1st.

Then go to add animation and use Motion Path animation used lines and say to left and we

need to redefine the endpoint.

You can see that it goes only till here.

So, I'm going to click on the endpoint, hold the shift button down and move it in such

a way that the endpoint corresponds with the left edge of this bar.

Excellent, now I'm going to do the same thing for this one as well.

Select this and then add animation.

Go to motion paths, click on lines and then this time it goes to.

Right and we need to readjust the end position.

Once again let us click on the end point.

Hold the shift button down and move it in such a way that the last point corresponds

with the right edge of the bar.

Now both these events seem to have two seconds duration.

We need to have that reduced to one second and then go to the drop-down menu.

Go to effect options and we're going to add a bit of drama by adding bound, send and say

And both of these need to happen together, so the second one happens with previous.

Now, while these two buttons move to the edges, we need to have the bar behind it reveal itself.

So, I'm going to select the bar and we need to have this enter the scene with a simple

split animation and the direction of the split can be changed from effect options and it

needs to be vertical out and the duration needs to be the same as the previous ones.

So I'm going to select this and then increase the duration to one second.

Now this also needs to happen with previous.

Let us go to slide show and see if we need to make some adjustments.

When I go to slide show on a click, I introduce the starting point and then the end point

and then this happens.

You can see that there is a bit of a lag between the time it takes for these two buttons to

move to the edges.

And for this bar to reveal itself, so I need to ensure that this bar needs to split out

a little bit quicker than these two, so I'm going to select this and say .75 seconds.

Now when I go to slide show you will see that the events happen very nicely like this.

Beautiful now that we revealed the timeline, it is time for us to show the individual events

and it's fairly simple to do.

Let me select the first one and introduce this with a wipe animation from bottom and

right after that I'm going to have the label show with a simple fade animation, and we

say after previous done then let us select this.

Go to wipe and this needs to happen from top and then we need to introduce this label with

a fade animation after previous.

Then let us select this white from bottom and then this fade happens after previous.

This one wipe from top.

And then this one happens with a fade after previous this one wipe from bottom and then

this one happens fade after previous.

So we have animated all the five events.

But there is one small change that I need to make.

The 1st event needs to animate.

Right after the revelation happens, so I'm going to select this first event, which represents

this and say this happens after previous.

That's it, now let us go to slide show and see how this whole thing plays out on a click.

I show the start of the timeline, then on a click the end of the timeline and then on

a click I reveal the timeline and the first event shows itself.

Then after explanation I click again and the next event shows.

Then the next event shows.

Then the next event and the final event.

This simple, purposeful custom animation ensures that your audience stays with your story till

the time you finish the slide.

Now just to showcase the power of custom animation in helping you tell beautiful stories in PowerPoint,

I'm going to show you 5 examples from comprehensive all in one PowerPoint bundle.

This first template shows the present and the future, and on a click, I show the hesitation

someone feels in making the jump from present to future.

Then on a click I show the factor that helped us bridge the gap like this.

Isn't this a very interesting animation?

If you want to visualize the story with a stop gap arrangement in the middle, you can

use this template on a click.

I talk about the present and then I talk about the future.

Then on a click I talk about the Stop gap arrangement.

That allows us to make the transition from present to future.

Here is the next example.

We talk about a simple three step timeline in a dramatic fashion using hand animation

Can you see here we reveal the timeline like this?

Then the first event, the 2nd event and the third.

Even if you want to have a first step timeline, I can use something as interesting as this.

We set up the timeline and then we talk about the individual events like this.

If you want to make this as a concept and tell your story about three stages of growth,

you can use this template on a click.

We talk about stage one, which is the initial phase.

Then on a click we talk about the intermediate phase which represents stage two and then

we talk about the full-fledged final phase which is stage.

Three, as you can see, each of these templates has tons of custom animation events which

would take a lot of time if you were to create them from scratch.

If you are a busy professional who needs to make an impact with your presentations, but

you don't have the time to create all these elaborate custom animations by yourself, then
