We’ll leave the duration the same (3 secs) but because the layer now moves a greater distance in that 3 seconds, it’s moving faster than the layer behind. So, we’ll take our foreground layer and adjust the length of the motion path. Remember our view from the window on a train journey: the objects closest to us seem to move very quickly whilst the ones furthest away appear to move more slowly. To change that, let’s adjust the speed at which the layers move. We’ve got our scene to move now, but it’s all moving at the same pace which doesn’t give us the parallax scrolling effect we want. Step 5: Change the timings to create the parallax scrolling effect Then use the animation painter to copy that motion path onto the background image. Step 4: Create the scrolling effect in the background (If you’re not confident with animations and motion paths you might find it helpful to check out this free video resource first.) Now it’s time to add some movement! Select your foreground image and add a motion path moving from left to right. Step 3: Create the scrolling effect in the foreground Tip: to make it easier to see where the edge of the slide is, create a rectangle with just an outline, make it the same size as your slide and place it in front of your images as a guide. We’re going to create a horizontal pan so we need to make our images a bit larger than the slide so they have room to move across the screen. Next, we need to import those images into our PowerPoint deck and position them to construct our scene. Step 2: Position the images in PowerPoint We use this trick all the time when we make colour pop images, and there’s a handy tutorial showing you just how to do this on our Twitter feed. Draw a freeform shape and use the Intersect Shapes tool to cut out the piece of the image you need. You can also use PowerPoint to split out your layers. I started with this photo from Unsplash and used Adobe Photoshop to separate it into foreground and background layers. Step 1: Find your image and split it into layersįirst things first, you’ll need to split your image out into different layers (alternatively you could collect/create a series of images which can be combined to create a scene). Think about how this would take your next keynote presentation up a notch, and add some real design finesse to your next pitch presentation.īut without further ado – this is how you go about doing it. Not only is this a cool effect for all sorts of animations (hey we make animations just using PowerPoint all the time, like this one on the BrightCarbon homepage), but you can use this effect to create some really slick, cinematic slides.
