Animating the Title Slide
The first slide in our presentation could benefit from some animation, which will help capture your audience’s attention at the start of your presentation. Keynote offers several build animations that can be used to enhance the slide.
Adding Multiple Builds
- In the slide navigator, select slide 1.
- Select the Build Inspector and click Build In.
- Select the logo on the canvas.
- From the Effect pop-up menu, choose Scale, and from the Direction pop-up menu, choose Down.
- On the canvas, select the white bar.
- From the Effect menu, choose Dissolve.
Now the logo shrinks, and then the white bar dissolves into the background.
