0Here's How to add, change, and remove Transitions in Google Slides.
i. Here are some potential pros and cons of using transitions in Google Slides:
Pros:
- Smooth transitions can make slide changes feel more natural and polished.
- Subtle transitions can help content flow from one slide to the next.
- Transitions can visually emphasize or deemphasize certain slides.
- Movement can help hold audience attention from one slide to the next.
- Sound effects with transitions can further accentuate slide changes.
- Varied transitions can keep presentations visually interesting.
Cons:
- Overusing transitions can feel distracting or amateurish.
- Fancy transitions can detract from slide content if not used judiciously.
- Too many transition types in one presentation can feel disjointed.
- Some transitions like page wipes take too long and disrupt flow.
- Audiences with visual sensitivity may react negatively to excessive movement.
- Relying on transitions in place of good content results in a weak presentation.
- Speaker notes don't indicate when slide transitions occur.
- Transitions may not work smoothly on lower-powered computers.
The best practice is to use transitions sparingly and purposefully to enhance the presentation when appropriate without distracting from the core content. Simple, fast transitions tend to work best.
