Multiple Animating 1

Logic: save yourself time by adding more than one animation at a time in PowerPoint

It is possible to add animations to more than one object at a time, but have you ever considered doing this to Motion Paths?

We start with setting our Snap Objects to Grid at 2 centimetres (your may be in inches).  Then, we add a rectangle.

This rectangle can be duplicated by selecting it and the keyboard shortcut of <Control + D>.

Now, with all three rectangles selected, we go to the Animation Task Pane and select Add Effect| Motion Paths| Draw Custom Path| Freeform.

We click once in the middle of any one of the three rectangles. We draw the Path down, and to the left. The three clicks were (1) at the start, (2) at the turning point and (3) at the end point.

3 animations result

Notice the result! All three objects are animated. But also notice, the start point is in the right location for each object! The result is animating three objects (in this case, rectangles) in one go!
