If the Custom Animation Panel is visible, the motion paths of all effects of the current slide are drawn as a transparent overlay on the slide. If the drawing is finished and not canceled, the created path is removed from the document and inserted as a motion path effect. If you select 'Curve', 'Polygon', or 'Freeform Line', the dialog closes and you can draw your own path. You can use predefined or your own motion paths. When you present the slide show with the Presenter Console, icon indicates that the next slide has custom animation.Īn object can be animated to move along a motion path.

* On a social level, LibreOffice seems to be able to evolve faster than OOo and to react better to community input, I strongly hope this will be the case here as well.On Slide Pane an icon appears next to the preview of those slides, which have one or more objects with custom animation. * I don't think that individual animations should have a 'export in PDF' checkbox, it would clutter an interface that is already heavy for (wild guess) little real world usage. * I think it should be enabled by default, as in case of animations in a slide, the slide as we see it in the editing view may make no sense at all. * I don't think the animation effect itself matters, but we should just be able to have a separate PDF page matching the page we get in impress after each click/timeout. It is a hack, which requires some boring manual work and doesn't work so reliably for me, so I still long for a proper fix. The page has a link to an extension which 'unfolds' animations in the presentation, making it easier to get the proper PDF version. A similar feature request was filled in OOo 5 years ago:
