Transitions

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.
