Screenshot: Fly in animation effect window showing “smooth end” effect settingsĢ. Stagger the entrance animations for each group to follow one another on the timeline as you prefer or as shown in the sample file.Use Animation Painter to copy and paste this effect to the remaining objects on the slide.Adjust/drag the start and end points of the motion path so it ends with the object in its final position and the start point underneath (see screenshot below for positioning example.).Select Animation > Motion Path, direction Up, the same duration of 0.75 seconds, and add a Smooth End with timing of 0.75 seconds. Add a second animation effect to your object.In the animation pane, add a Fade In entrance animation to your object, set to play After Previous, with a duration of 0.75 seconds.
