Slide Transition

By Wendy Russell, About.com

Definition: Slide transitions are the visual movements as one slide changes to another. Many different slide transitions are available in programs such as PowerPoint or OpenOffice Impress.

Transitions differ from animations, in that animations are the movements of the objects on the slide.

Examples: Each slide in the presentation changed to the next, using a dissolve type of transition. Mary had applied the transition to all of the slides at one time in slide sorter view.
