How to add, change, or remove a transition between slides

A transition is an animation-like effect that plays when your Powtoon moves from one slide to the next. By default, slides play in consecutive order without any transition effect. Adding a transition can give your Powtoon a more polished, dynamic feel between scenes.

This article covers how to add a transition to a slide, and how to change or remove one you have already applied.

Adding a transition between slides

To add a transition between slides in Powtoon Studio:

1. In the slide panel on the left, select the slide you want to add a transition to.
2. Click the Add transition icon directly below the slide thumbnail in the slide panel.
3. Scroll through the available transition options. Hover over any transition to see a preview of how it will look.
4. Click the transition you want to apply. The transition is added to the slide, and the icon below the thumbnail changes to indicate that a transition is now set between that slide and the next.

Note: The filled transition icon below a slide thumbnail indicates that a transition is active between that slide and the one that follows it.

Changing or removing a transition

To change or remove an existing transition between slides:

1. In the slide panel, select the slide whose transition you want to edit.
2. Click the transition icon below the slide thumbnail. The transition picker opens.
3. Select a different transition to replace the current one, or click Remove Transition to remove it entirely.

Note: Removing a transition returns the slide to the default behavior — the Powtoon moves directly to the next slide with no effect.
