💡 Animation Best Practices

  • Less is more—use animations sparingly to maintain professionalism
  • Keep transition durations under 500ms for smooth, non-distracting effects
  • Use the same transition style throughout for consistency
  • Animate key points one at a time to control pacing and focus
  • Test animations in present mode before sharing or exporting
