I wanted to take 64 thumbnail pics I have and have them exit an object on a PowerPoint slide and present the faces of our persons presented. I see this as thumbnail fireworking out to a larger size and then shrinking back out of view and repeating randomly on the screen. They do not need to be hidden I just want to have small images that grow (seemingly fireworking) out and then shrink back to smaller image. I can see this being random and several popping out and shrinking back randomly and in parallel not serially.

Does this make sense? Possible?

You can use the Grow/Shrink animation for each image, combined with a Line Animation if necessary to move the image to the right location.

If the animations have to proceed very fast, you can choose 'With Previous' instead of 'After Previous' for the different images, use small Duration times and add very small Delay times to the 'With Previous'.

Note: when you use a Grow animation on a small image, it might look pixelated after growing, even if the originally inserted image is large and you scaled it down on the slide.
To avoid this:
- insert large image
- add Shrink animation 'With Previous', duration 0.1 (to get the thumbnail size)
- add Disappear animation 'With Previous', duration Auto
- add Appear animation 'After Previous' (or Fade, or any entrance animation)
In Slide Show View you will not see the shrinking or disappearing, you will only see the appearing of the thumbnail size.
Now when you add a Grow animation to enlarge your thumbnail, your image will maintain its original quality.

This is how I would build the slide - hopefully you will also receive some answers that give a less complex animation panel and we can both learn from it
