| Three Categories of Transitions | Subtle, Exciting, Dynamic Content |

| Exciting transitions | Slide transitions which use more complex animations to transition between slides such as such as "dissolve," "curtains," and "checkerboard" which are more visually interesting but can make your presentation look less professional when used too much. |
| Dynamic Content | Although listed under "slide transitions", this transition effect DOES NOT move the slide but only the placeholders within the slide when using similar slide layouts between two slides. |
