Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / February 2005PowerPoint and "motion path"
Hi, One of the professors I work for needs to make a Powerpoint presentation with animation. He needs to have an object move from one defined point to another. I'm told Windows Powerpoint has an animation option called "motion path", that permits doing this. This doesn't seem to be present in Powerpoint 2004. As an alternative, I created a set of slides for him that had the object in a different position along a trajectory, exported these as TIFF files, and then used iMovie to convert the TIFF files into a movie that I imported back into a Powerpoint slide. The resulting movie works, but lines look jagged and imprecise. So, is there another way to get something equivalent to "motion path" in Mac Powerpoint 2004 (or Powerpoint X). Or, what can I do to improve the quality of the movie I create with iMovie using a series of high-resolution TIFF files.

There is a *somehow* related discussion in the (unfortunately Apple proprietary) Keynote forum, where someone details how to build a movie (later incorporated in a slide) featuring a pointer (or whichever image you want) that will follow the cursor. Most probably, instead of the cursor you could have the image follow a given path. But I retained it was not instant... http://discussions.info.apple.com/keynote/ ah, I got it.

Of course you have things like Flash, but on the lower end, maybe a product like SnagIt would do the trick? |
