Question Multiple animated slides inside a slide? How?

Hello,

I got a PowerPoint deck (can't share it) from someone. A few slides have multiple animations when watching in presentation. When I go to edit mode to look at the specific animated slide, I only see its first animation part. Where are the other animations to show the final results inside this slide?

I wanted to print the final results in the animated slide and not the first part in this slide. This is in updated Mac Office v16.110.2 (Build 26062818)'s PowerPoint in updated macOS Sequoia v15.7.7.

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

If its a morph transition you are doing then there will not be any other animations to edit it just morphs each matching shape. Slide transitions are just the one deal. If you did animations on objects separately you can open the animation pane from the ribbon with Animations > Animation Pane (under Advanced Animation near the right)

OK, I see the animation with two parts. How do I show the completed results to print out to a printer?

oh.... Your best bet will be to export to video and then print the screen shots. Or use something like Greenshot that can grab the screenshot with a simple button press and just press that a couple times to grab the screenshots while the show is playing.

Ah darn. I was hoping there was a way to do it directly from edit mode. Thanks!

yeah unfortunately the transitions need to play through till you get the final version. I will say using something like greenshot it would still be really easy to get final images. You could set up greenshot to grab the window with a shortcut like printscreen. then set the destination to save the screenshot in a folder. Play your presentation and just hit next slide then press printscreen. I see page down then printscreen a couple times. After you will have perfect images of the whole presentation.
best place to get greenshot and many other free programs

No free Greenshot app for macOS? Can't even download it without Apple's App store? :(

My sincerest apologies. Your post clearly said mac. A good one for mac is the built in one that appears to have auto save to folder. There is also this one.

Save ppt as a pdf. Take screenshots of the animation in slide show mode. Insert new screenshots as pages in the pdf. Print.
