Animations are a great way to help your content stand out. MangoSigns is one of the few platforms that allow you to animate just about anything on your slides. The possibilities are almost endless as to what you can come up with while layering in animations.
To animate an object, simply select the object and choose the rocket icon in the action bar, or you can click the Animate button in the top bar.
Once you click on the rocket icon, you will see the Animation panel appear on the right-hand side of your slide editor.
From here, you can select to add one of 3 types of animations on the top, for text elements you can also select Text Animations.
Entrance Animation - This type of animation will animate the content onto the screen after a given delay.
Emphasis Animation - This type of animation will animate the content in place. You can choose to repeat this animation to have an effect that repeats over and over but does not move off the screen. This can be useful for highlighting a menu item or something similar.
Exit Animation - This type of animation will animate the content off of the screen after a given delay.
To preview the animation you can hover over the animation. To apply it, simply click on the animation you would like to apply.
From here, for each animation type, you can define a Delay - this is the amount of time after the slide loads, or the previous animation ended. You can also specify a Duration - This is the amount of time it will take the animation to complete. Setting a higher time will slow down the animation, setting a lower time will speed it up.
You can preview how all of the animations will look on your slide by using the Timeline panel on the bottom of the Slide Editor.
Once an element has an animation applied, you will see the rocket icon appear orange. You can also use the Timeline panel to see all of the elements with animations applied and adjust the start time, duration and end time by dragging the animation section in the timeline panel.
If you have text on a page, you can choose to animate it with these animations, or you can apply separate text animations. More info on text animations can be found under the Text help section.
Automatically Animate the Entire Page
To apply animations to all of the elements on your page, you can click on the Auto Animate button at the top of the slide editor. This will apply different transitions to all of your elements to have them animate into your slide.
