 Hey there! This is Rod from Burn to Learn, and we want to show you how to make an animated timeline in a PowerPoint presentation. First, select the slide you want to use, then go to the top and click on the Insert tab. Now click on Shapes, and select a line and then draw it to the slide. Next, we add a circle shape marker for the important things in our timeline. Now go to the Shapes, and this time choose a circle, and then we add a hollow shape and address it to the circle. Then click on Format, and Shape Fill, then click No Fill. Now draw a line down and a box where we're going to type the year we want to highlight in the timeline. Now select and copy the shapes. Remember to change the colors and the years. Now that our timeline looks ready, let's add animation. First, select the shape, then go up to the Animations tab, click on Add Animation, and select the animation you'd like for each shape. This time, we're going to choose Wipe for the lines and Zoom for the circular shapes. Repeat these steps for each shape. Select the shape, go to Animations, click on Add Animation, and choose the animation you'd like. Remember to set all the effects to after previous on the right side of the Animations tab. There you can also check the timing and delay of the effects. You can have a clearer view of all the animation effects using the Animation Pane feature in the Animations tab. Once you're done, play the presentation so you can check the animation added to the timeline. This animated timeline will make your presentation look fantastic. Useful, right?
