This effect is a very famous effect. It is mostly used everywhere. This effect is mostly used for intros of any presentation or video. It can also be used to highlight a heading. This is how it works. The layouts that you can see at the left and the right side of the slide are first at the centre of the slide. And then the left two layouts slide to the left and the right two layouts slide to the right side of the slide. And then come back together at the centre. At then the effect repeats itself according to the settings. Now the setting of the animation has been set to “Repeat Until End Of Slide”. So that means the animations will keep repeating themselves until you move on to the next slide.
As you can see the text in the center of the slide, It is positioned behind the layouts. So the text gets hidden when the layouts come back together at the center of the slide. And when the layouts go left and right the text gets revealed.
You all must be thinking about how the formatting can be changed. Well, you can easily change the picture of the background and the layouts. Just follow the following steps :
Go to the “Design” tab.
Click on the “Format Background” option.
Change the background picture to however kind of picture you like.
Then select the four layouts that make the parallax effect.
Right-click on the layouts and go to formate shape.
Go to the “Shape Fill” tab and chose the option “Slide Background Fill”.
By this, you will have the same picture as the background but not only that. The image will also be adjusted according to the slide size. A little bit of shadow is added to the layouts, and you can change the formatting of the shadow however you like.
It took some time for making the animations. So I suggest don’t ruin the animations. The animations are a little confusing but if still, you want to change some settings then go to YouTube and type in “How to create a parallax effect in PowerPoint”. The thumbnail of the video will have the same picture as you can see here. Just click on the video and you will be able to learn and see how to create this kind of parallax effect.
