How to use PowerPoint Morph Transition

In this step-by-step tutorial, learn how to use the very best transition in PowerPoint, the morph transition, in your next presentation. The morph transition is sure to impress any audience. Unlike many of the other transitions in PowerPoint, morph is subtle, classy, and contributes to the message that you're delivering.

The Morph transition allows you to animate smooth movement from one slide to the next. You can apply the Morph transition to slides to create the appearance of movement in a wide range of things—text, shapes, pictures, SmartArt graphics, and WordArt. Charts, however, don't morph. Morph is available if you have an Microsoft 365 subscription or are using PowerPoint 2019. For Microsoft 365 subscribers using PowerPoint for the web, Morph is available when you are using files stored in OneDrive for work or school or SharePoint in Microsoft 365.

To use the Morph transition effectively, you'll need to have two slides with at least one object in common—the easiest way is to duplicate the slide and then move the object on the second slide to a different place, or copy and paste the object from one slide and add it to the next. Then, apply the Morph transition to the second slide to see what Morph can do to automatically animate and move your object.

Most other Youtubers: shows one showcase slide then just tells you to repeat the process for the other slides. Kevin: shows every step for every slide so you don’t get lost. Fantastic trainer! And the one I recommend to friends! 🙂 Great work Kevin!

[mhanzignacio]

Indeed, Kevin has significantly mastered himself in teaching the easiest way of doing a seemed complex things. Awesome guy! Thanks!

[edwardnasser]

Agreed. Morph is a game-changer. Back when I was in college I remember trying to animate every object to a path and matching their size and location on the next slide. Now it's just a few clicks with morph. Can you give us a tutorial on 3d objects on PowerPoint as they go hand in hand with morph? I'm especially curious about how to model my own pre-animated 3d model with custom scenes and movements.

Yup, Morph is now my favorite transition! Adds some class to the usual boring PP shows. And the carousel is also a great idea to be used in my future shows. Awesome, Kevin!

[LearningandTechnology]

This is one of my favourite videos you have ever made. I will definitely be sharing this video link with faculty and students that can benefit from this (as well as use these tips myself) - excellent job!

[FF-mbxx]

Your explanations are as smooth and clear as the the transitions you've just demonstrated! Thanks a lot!

[joelgrospe]

I've been self studying how to use this morph transition for so long and I can't fully understand how did they do it, thank you Kevin for explaining the basic and showing the step by step procedure.

[pannagiraja]

Thank you very much for all your excellent lessons, Kevin. You are one of the extremely few Youtubers that can actually teach and explain things in a clear, straightforward and organized fashion. You should teach all the professors how to teach. :)

[IreneKiew]

Kevin, your tutorials have helped a lot as we teachers transitioned to online learning during the pandemic. Thank you so much, all the way from Malaysia.

Great video Kevin. Morph transition is the best and my favorite in PowerPoint. Thanks Kevin for pulling out this video about the abilities of Morph Transition.

[TheFeaz]

I can't tell you how long I've been looking for this exact thing. I make trainer videos and I need a good way to animate concepts like how data changes over time. This was PERFECT! AWESOME WORK!

[Kaz-nfns]

Morph is absolutely fascinating! Thanks heaps, Kevin. A great tutorial with so many examples. Clear and concise instructions. Highly recommended👍

[vijayarjunwadkar]

Wow, super cool morph tutorial Kevin! I am from India, so felt nice when you zoomed in to my country on the map! Also the last morph was icing on cake with that nice sunrise effect! Loved it! 😊👍

[TylerStanczak]

Really like how you used morph to replicate a zoom effect in PowerPoint. Also that carousel morph transition is super smooth. Great tutorial Kevin :)

[dr.bobbrown]

Kevin is VERY Clear and shows EVERY detail needed to change pics words and more -- AWESOME work

[bhgemini]

I like how the Morph option had less breathing than the longer Zoom option, and that dusk to dawn transition was so cool.

[debrareekie]

Great Video!! I used morph a couple of weeks ago for the first time and was really happy with the results, but I learned some new aspects of it with this video! Thank you!

[GraeLaws]

Kevin, you are an absolute legend. Thank you very much for once again providing a perfectly paced tutorial.

[GAURAVI]

OMG .. so excited to try this out. Thank you so much Kevin.. you make a teacher's life easy with these cool things. 👍
