How to animate text?

Salsa · #1 01-12-2016, 06:36 AM

Hey. I am doing a Spanish vocab video and I have done all the images and text, so what I don't know what to do is how to animate each text box, so when I say "hola" in the recorded sound file, the text box will animate itself, then automatically next word and same thing.

Does anyone know how to do that? Thanks

Assuming you have a sound file like "Hola John Wilson" then this is not really possible in XP except by setting animation delays which are not reliable.

In 2010 and later you can trigger animation from bookmarks in the sound file..

Hi yes. I got the 2007 version, what I forgot to mention is that. The sound file I have is all pre-recorded in one file about 10min long, so the word boxes in powerpoint would be all timed to be animated.

Another way to come around it is to screen record it then put it together in Microsoft movie maker.

In 2010 and later you can do this in PowerPoint using the new Bookmark Trigger but not in 2007.
