• Using images and people helps convey your message clearly.

Step-by-Step Guide

To start using Morph in PowerPoint, follow these steps:

First, open your PowerPoint program and switch to presentation mode. Now you can show the first slide, which simply depicts a beautiful living room. I will use an image here that you have downloaded. It is important that you have an image that has a source with the appropriate license. After inserting the image, the first slide should look like this:

To fully utilize the Morph function, you now need to add a second slide. Duplicate the first slide and start pointing out specific elements in the room. For example, you may want to highlight the air conditioner or the large television. By drawing attention to specific features, you can increase the audience's interest.

Now I will explain how you can make elements transparent to highlight them during the presentation. Simply drag the corresponding slide edge and make the background elements visible. This helps focus on the main image while keeping the other elements in the background easily recognizable.

To insert a person pointing to the air conditioner, go to "Insert" and select the appropriate figure. You can choose from various pre-defined figures available since PowerPoint 2019. Make sure the person looks friendly and optimistic to leave a positive impression.

After inserting the person, move them to the right position. I recommend placing them over the air conditioner you want to point out. It helps to control the dimensions and ensure that the figure has the desired effect.

If you want to change the position of the figure, you can simply adjust the graphic. Make sure to lock the aspect ratio to keep the figure proportioned. It is important for the proportions to be consistent so that the presentation looks professional.

Now duplicate the second slide to create another indication, for example, on the television. Place the figure where it points to the element you want to present. Make sure to move the figures according to their position in the room.

For your final presentation, address the objects you want to highlight. You can also work with different colors for arrows or frames to create visual accents. The most important thing is to present the right information clearly and distinctly.

Before testing the whole thing in presentation mode, make sure the transitions are smooth. Select all slides from the second to the last one and activate the Morph function. Now you can ensure that everything works seamlessly together and surprises the audience with an impressive visual experience.

Finally, if everything is going well, you can start your presentation and animate the people and arrows to come in. Make sure they move elegantly and point to the objects to be presented to captivate the viewers' attention.
