Introduction
In this Blog, you will learn how to create a Glint Text Effect Animation in Microsoft PowerPoint. The concept behind this presentation is to use Merge Shapes – Subtract command over a rectangle and then we used a shape with Path Fill Color and moved it using Motion Paths behind the subtracted text.
What Is the Glint Text Effect?
The Glint Text Effect is a captivating animation that makes text stand out by simulating a glint or shine that moves across the text. This effect adds a touch of sophistication and emphasis, making key points more memorable.
WHO to Creating the Glint Text Effect
1. Set Up Your Slide
Start by opening PowerPoint and setting up a clean slide layout. Choose a background that contrasts well with your text for maximum impact.
2. Add and Format Your Text
Insert a text box and type your desired text. Customize the font style, size, and color to fit your presentation theme.
3. Convert Text to a Shape
To apply advanced effects, you need to convert your text into a shape. This can be done by selecting the text and using the Convert to Shape option, found under the Shape Format tab.
4. Use Merge Shapes to Create a Cut-Out Effect
Add a rectangle over your text and use the Merge Shapes – Subtract command to cut out the shape of the text from the rectangle. This creates a clean, transparent cut-out effect where the text is visible through the rectangle.
5. Add a Glint Shape
Insert a shape, such as a star or custom figure, that will act as the glint. Position it to cover the area where you want the glint effect to appear. Format this shape with a gradient or light color to simulate the shine.
6. Animate the Glint
Select the glint shape and apply a Motion Path Animation. Draw a motion path that moves the glint across or behind the text. Adjust the timing and speed of the animation to create a smooth, dynamic effect.
7. Fine-Tune and Preview
Preview the animation to ensure everything looks seamless. Make any necessary adjustments to the timing, position, and effect to achieve the desired result.
