WHAT IS IT?
Animating in Google Slides allows you to add motion effects to text, images, or other elements in a presentation. You can use different types of animations like entrance, exit, motion, and emphasis to make elements appear, disappear, or move in dynamic ways. These animations will allow you to then create a final film in combination with your favourite editor such as PREMIER PRO.
