Dog Animation in PowerPoint

Introduction

Dog Animation in PowerPoint is a collaborative project. I would like to thank Avinash from +KnackGraphics for designing the Dog Character in Adobe Illustrator CC. All the layers of the Dog body have been carefully arranged and exported in EMF format and later we can import EMF file formats in Microsoft PowerPoint 2016 / 2019.

Importing EMF Files into PowerPoint

By default, when you import an EMF file into PowerPoint, it will always be imported as a single grouped object. So, you need to Ungroup the EMF file to separate all the layers.

Figure 1.2 indicates that when you will click the Ungroup, a message will appear stating that โ€œThis is an imported picture, not a group. Do you want to convert it to a Microsoft Office drawing object.โ€ that is a great feature of PowerPoint that it will exactly show all the layers when you Ungroup an EMF file once. But all those layers are still under a Group named โ€œGroup 4โ€. So, you need to apply the Ungroup command a second time to separate all those layers, so you may use each layer individually.

Each layer can be used as a separate Office drawing object.

Later, you need to Group all those separate layers into individual Groups as required. For instance, look into Figure 1.4, where layers that correspond to the face like the Nose, Right, Left Eye, Right Ear, Left Ear, and Mouth have been grouped into a single object Face.

Adobe Illustrator and Microsoft PowerPoint could be great animation tools if combined together.
