The Format Painter allows us to copy text formatting from one piece of text to another. Is it possible to somehow also copy the custom animation settings from one object to another?

After you've just spent 30 minutes adding and tweaking custom animations to an object to get it to do just what you want, and you have multiple objects that need exactly the same animation, it really would be nice if there were some kind of Animation Painter option.

I've found one solution, but it wil only work with images/pictures, not with shapes:

1. Copy the image that has the animation you want, and paste it where you want the next image. This will also copy the animation.

2. Then right-click the image, choose Change Picture, and select the image you want.

Done

Unfortunately this option (Animation Painter) only in Powerpoint 2010, But you can add animation to shape, And then copy it and change it from Format Menu:
