Animations and memory

[Guest]

Do adding text animations and clip art animations add to the file size of ppt
presentations?

 

[Brian Reilly, MVP]

Yes, everything you add to a Presentation adds to the file size.
Whether you consider it significant or not depends on you.

Save a file and check the file size. And an animation and save and
check the file size.

To add to Brian's eloquence, to minimize file sizes be sure to turn off
"Allow fast saves" (under "Tools", "Options", "Save" TAB). If you want to
learn more about why file sizes can get too big, check out:

What they said but also.....

adding animation "using powerpoint custom animations" add's only a minimal
amount to your filesize. Not much difference to adding more text

adding "pictures" adds loads more in terms of filesize

Sort of like adding meat to your stew (clipart), or potatoes (pictures), or
salt/pepper (text/animations)!
