The most dramatic new feature of the program is its enhanced animation capabilities. In the past, creating animated objects involved selecting one and defining a specific path for it to follow. Animating a single object was easy, but getting multiple objects moving smoothly involved tedious trial and error.

The new Magic Move tool eliminates the problem. Users produce a slide with objects in a starting position, then create a duplicate. The second slide represents endpoints; after turning on Magic Move, the software generates middle transition animations automatically.
