Review notes
- The source article does not provide exact UI click paths, so the steps stay timing-focused and generic.
- Related articles are suggested as plain titles only because no internal URLs or IDs were provided.
- The original article was very short; this draft expands it while keeping the behavior conservative and limited to the provided timing rules.
Summary
If an object’s enter or exit effect is missing, the timing is usually too tight. Adjust the object’s start or end time so Powtoon can play the effect.
Before you start
- Make sure the object already has an enter or exit effect applied.
- Check whether the object starts at 0 seconds or ends exactly at the end of the slide.
Steps
- Check when the object appears on the slide.
- If the enter effect is missing, move the object’s appearance to 1 second or later.
- If the exit effect is missing, move the object’s exit to at least 0.5 seconds before the end of the slide.
- Preview the slide again to confirm the effect now plays.
What happens next
Enter effects start about half a second before the object appears. Exit effects need space before the slide transition begins. When the timing allows for that space, the effect should display as expected.
Limits and caveats
- Enter effects do not play when the object appears at 0 seconds.
- Exit effects do not play when the object exits exactly at the end of the slide.
- This behavior is caused by slide timing, not by the effect being removed.
