A few mistakes to avoid when using animations for PowerPoint include the likes of:
1. Overuse of animations: Less is more when it comes to presentation animation. Don’t clutter your slides with too much movement. Focus on using them to highlight the most important points.
2. Inconsistent animations: Keep your animations consistent. Jumping around with different effects can be distracting and confusing. Pick a style and stick with it.
3. Overemphasizing trivial points: Focus on what matters. Animations should highlight the key points of your presentation, not the small stuff. Make sure every animation has a clear purpose and supports your message.
