How to activate animations when presenting

Hi community, 

 

I am creating a slide deck in Adobe Express. Each slide has multiple text animations. When I am presenting, I want each animation to activate when I click the space bar. 

 

In the Present settings, there is a content playback option where "click" is an option (see attached screenshot). However with this option, the click activates all the animations at once. I want animations to appear "on click" as I am speaking. 

 

It seems like I should be able to change an animation timing to occur after the previous animation, but I am not finding that kind of option in the timeline settings. 

 

I'd appreciate any thoughts on this.

Hi @Shamire 

 

This isn't possible right now, but definitely a common request that we're working on addressing.

Hi @Abhi.G @ ADBE 

 

Thank for your response and sharing the suggestion thread. I did up-vote it. 

Is there another Adobe product with this presention feature that I can transfer my slides to?

Hi @Shamire 

 

I don't think there's another product that you can transfer the slides to with high fidelity while preserving editability.

 

Here's what some users have tried within Express though: duplicate slides and incrementally add the next desired animation in the duplicates (I realize this is extemely tedious!)
