Adding Animations in Focusky to Grab Audience’s Attention

Want to grab audience’s attention? Want your presentation lifelike and vivid? Then create a dynamic presentation with animation effects! The use of animations is quite common in presentations. It is proved that, compared with static messages, animations (if designed properly) are more effective for telling stories. They really provide visual interest to presentations.
