Transitions are used when moving from one slide to the next and can add visual interest to a presentation. You will want to make sure that your transitions match the overall feel of your presentation. Transitions that are too flashy might end up drawing more attention to themselves than your presentation.
Let's explore how to add a transition to a presentation.
If you are beginning this course at this point, you will need to copy the presentation to your Google Drive.
NOTE: If you have been working through the course, your file should be up to date and you will not need to copy the practice presentation. You can move ahead to Adding a transition.
Right-click Copy practice presentation, Click Open link in new window
The file begins to open in a new window of the web browser. Before the presentation will open and can be edited, we need to make a copy of it.
Move to the new browser window.
Click 
A copy of the file is now open and, by default, is saved in your Google Drive. The filename now has the words "Copy of" at the beginning.
Let's add a transition between the first and second slides. To do this, the transition will have to be applied to the second slide.
Click Slide 2
Click Slide, Click Transition
The Motion panel opens on the right of the screen:
In this panel, you can choose the type of transition, and whether it should be applied to only this slide or all slides in the presentation. When you choose a transition, you will have the option to modify the speed of the transition.
Click 
, Click Dissolve
Press & Drag the speed slider to 1.3 seconds
Click 
Click 
NOTE: You can apply a transition to all slides in your presentation by clicking the “Apply to all slides” button. We will not be doing this in this example, but you are free to explore that option if you’d like.
Notice that there is a new symbol in the Slide panel. This indicates that there is a transition (or animation) applied to a slide.
