MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / May 2008Lightning Animation
I have a picture to which I would like to add a lightning-looking animation. The picture is a flat brain and does not include any lightning-like features, so I would need to draw lines and then animate them. I have drawn lines that will be sufficient, but I cannot work out a good animation scheme to make them "crackle". Any suggestions?  Signaturejawelk You might use the Wipe and/or Peek In effects then set them to reverse and repeat (in Effect Options and Timing). Layer the lighting bolts, use different sizes and slight color variations SignaturePowerPoint Responsibly Sandy Johnson Microsoft Certified Office Specialist (MOS PowerPoint) > I have a picture to which I would like to add a lightning-looking animation. > The picture is a flat brain and does not include any lightning-like features, > so I would need to draw lines and then animate them.

You can try drawing the lightning, then add Emphasis > Blink effect onto the tail of the lightning. Have the blink effect set to 0.01 seconds and repeat around 3 times. You can also set the background of your slide to black, then add a white rectangle that covers the entire slide. Similarly, add the blink effect onto the rectangle to make it look like flashes.
