I LOVE animating things in PowerPoint. I get excited about doing things that pull viewers' attention into a presentation. Animation is one way to not only excite viewers, but also keep them from falling asleep! I often times use PowerPoint to animate sequences that I then export as a video and incorporate it into my video-editing project. The more sophisticated that a program is, like Adobe Premiere, the more intricate the tools you can be, but the downside is that it is typically harder to learn and master, due to its complexity. And not everybody needs to get too detailed with their visions. I love Premiere, but when I need something a little less labor-intensive, I find that PowerPoint has some great animation tools! If you figure out how to get creative with them, you can get certain animations done in a fraction of the time. In fact, the video in the header of this website was all done in PowerPoint, then exported as a video!
