Animated Logo Loop

On a recent project, we were provided with a number of corporate logos and asked to create an animated presentation that would be able to seamlessly loop.

The logos were all supplied as Illustrator .eps files. So the first task was converting to .emf or .png format.

Then each logo was separated into many small image files to allow flexibility in animating. All animation is developed in PowerPoint 2010. Here is the result:

Loop 1st Movie While the Second Plays Too

My sample slide shows 2 movies of heart surgery in action. Both movies are set to play at the same time (July 29 post) and set to loop (July 31 post). But here the presenter wants to talk to the 1st movie, and then click to play the 2nd movie.

The first step is to adjust the animations:
1. Open the Animation Pane

2. Select the 2nd movie and change its animation to ON CLICK

– I prefer to do this on the ANIMATION tab

– But the animation start for movies can also be changed on the PLAYBACK tab

3. Select the 1st movie and TIMING (to open the PLAY VIDEO dialog)

4. The REPEAT needs to be set to UNTIL END OF SLIDE vs. Until Next Click

** PPT 2003 and 2007 the default is UNTIL NEXT CLICK, so if modifying legacy presentations this will need to be checked. PPT 2010 the default is UNTIL END OF SLIDE, so it ‘automatically’ sets up the 1st movie to continue playing while the 2nd plays.

Set Movies to Loop

Here is my same sample slide from an earlier post. Because this is a short seamless animated loop it is usually set to loop. Setting a movie to loop takes only a few easy steps.

1. Select movie

2. With the movie selected the VIDEO TOOLS functions are added to the ribbon.

3. Go to the PLAYBACK tab and click LOOP UNTIL STOPPED

Then repeat the same steps for the 2nd movie. The animation pane does not show the movie playback time, just a simple ‘appear’ icon. But if you repeat (eg. loop) any other element (text, shape, picture, etc.) the timeline shows the length of each loop and how many repeats it is set to do. For comparison, here is the animation pane the movie and three inserted shapes all set to repeat 3X’s. The vertical line is the end of the animation and then the repeat – which only shows up on the shapes, the movie animation only shows the play icon (no looping information).
