Tune a transition

Change how long a transition takes, how it feels and what each effect does.

Once you have chosen a transition, the settings under the grid shape it. Select the arrow between two pages to see them.

Timing and feel

Set the length

Length is how long the change takes, in milliseconds, with a minimum of 50. A new Fly takes 1200, a Morph 800 and a Dissolve 600. The right panel with Feel, Length and Then holds for a selected transition

Choose a feel

Feel sets how the move speeds up and slows down: Smooth, Gentle, Snappy or Bouncy. Bouncy overshoots a little, then settles.

Set how long the next page stays

Then holds is how long the next page stays once it has arrived. It follows that page's own animation length until you type a value. Use the page's duration goes back to that.

Cut has no Feel or Length. Goes to changes which page the arrow lands on, and Camera frames the page it lands on. See Close in on a layer.

Dip, Flood, Rings, Stripes, Blades, Burst and Pixel also have a colour. See Transition colours and gradients.

Switching to another transition clears the settings of the old one. Choose the transition first, then tune it.

Choose Play at the top of the panel to watch only that transition.

Try it

Select the Hook to Product arrow in your sale flow and choose Clock. Set Turns to Anticlockwise and Starts at to 90. Choose Play, then set Length to 1500 and play again.
