Available transitions
Here are some of the types of transitions you can choose from:
- No transition
- Fade or Crossfade – for a clean and simple transition between slides
- Fade through dark / light / transparent – for a more atmospheric fade
- Slide up / down / left / right – for a basic directional slide
- Slide over up / down / left / right – for a dynamic slide-in overlay
- Slide remove – to remove the previous slide while adding the new one
- Slot slide / Box fade – for horizontal or vertical block-style animations
- Fade and slide from... – for combined fade + directional motion
- Parallax to... – for depth-effect transitions (right, left, top, bottom)
- Curtain 1 / 2 / 3 – for a theatrical curtain-style reveal
- Grayscale / Brightness – to apply filter-based transitions
- Cube / Turnoff / Papercut / Flying – for advanced and premium 3D-style effects
