Hi Product Hunt! ๐Ÿ‘‹ TurboAnimator was born out of my own frustration -- it took ages to add basic animations to my Google Slides presentations for both teaching and research. I spent almost an hour a week (yes, really!) clicking on each element, clicking the "Add Animation" button, changing the animation type. dragging animation speed sliders... I built TurboAnimator to simplify this workflow. Now with simple shortcuts (e.g., Alt-A), TurboAnimator adds your preset animation to the slide element(s) that you chose. You can also: - Apply the animation onto all the elements that you selected at the same time - Define and use up to 5 more custom animation combinations besides the default (via e.g., Alt+Shift+1 to 5) - Choose which animation start condition should be applied (on-click, with previous, after previous, etc) - Animate by-paragraph if necessary - Delete the last animation in the list (Alt+Shift+D by default) - Delete the last animation for the selected element (Alt+Shift+R by default) - And all these shortcuts can be changed! I hope that you can try this out and let me know what you think! To try a guided walkthrough and make testing easier, please feel free to clone this deck: https://bit.ly/turboanimator-tes....

As someone who's spent countless hours adjusting slide animations, I can relate to this a lot. The ability to define custom animation combos is ๐Ÿ”ฅ. Unfortunately, I am stuck with PowerPoint, but maybe that would be a cool addition in the future (e.g. as a plugin)?
Sriram Sami
@wintoniak Good to know that this is a legitimate issue - and sorry that we don't have something for PowerPoint yet :) I can recommend an OSS project for PowerPoint however: https://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/~ppt.... Maybe you'll find this useful!

Google slides are great! How does this compare to their Duet ai?
Sriram Sami
@kingromstar Hey! It seems like Duet can't create animations automatically, only images. I'd love for something to automatically animate my slides based on content though. Maybe an idea for someone else to try? ๐Ÿ˜„
