What you need

Steps

  1. Open a blank slide and insert a rectangle that covers the area where your scene will sit. This becomes the frame you split later.

  2. Insert a Curve shape and draw a wavy line across the rectangle to mark the split line. Close the curve so it forms a filled shape.

  3. Select the rectangle and the curve, then go to Shape Format, Merge Shapes and choose Fragment. Delete the unwanted pieces so you have two separate halves.

  4. Download Chinese-style visuals such as a Dunhuang fairy and a red-crowned crane from Huaban.com. Save the images to your computer.

  5. Insert the images and place them inside the split halves so the composition looks balanced. Resize and crop as needed.

  6. Right-click the slide thumbnail and choose Duplicate Slide. On the copy, move the shapes and images to new positions for the end frame.

  7. Select the second slide and open Transitions. Choose Morph so PowerPoint animates the change between the two slides.

  8. Preview the slideshow with F5 to check the motion. Adjust positions or timing if the animation jumps or looks uneven.

Tips and common mistakes

Keep the same shapes on both slides so Morph can match them and animate smoothly.

Use high-resolution images so the scene stays sharp when the slide fills the screen.

If Morph is missing, update PowerPoint, since older versions do not include it.

Name shapes clearly in the Selection Pane to avoid mixing up elements between slides.

Questions

Do I need to speak Chinese to use Huaban.com?

No. You can search with English keywords or browse categories, then download the images you like.

Why does my Morph transition look choppy?

Morph works best when the same objects appear on both slides. Duplicate the slide and move existing elements instead of adding new ones.

Can I use this animation in Google Slides?

No. Morph is a PowerPoint-only transition, so you would need a different tool for Google Slides.
