Editing motion paths
If the Custom Animation Panel is visible, the motion paths of all effects of the current slide are drawn as a transparent overlay on the slide. All paths are visible all the time, therefore animations with consecutive paths can be created easily.
A motion path can be selected by clicking on the path. A selected path will support handles, it can be moved and resized like a shape. A double click on a path starts the point edit mode. The point edit mode can also be started by or by pressing F8.

Cross-fading creates shapes and distributes them by uniform increments between two drawing objects.
The cross-fading command is only available in LibreOffice Draw. You can, however, copy and paste cross-faded objects into LibreOffice Impress.
Hold down Shift and click each object.
Choose Edit - Cross-fading.
Enter a value to specify the number of objects between the start and end of the cross-fade in the Increments box.
Click OK.
A group containing the two original objects and the specified number (increments) of cross-faded objects is displayed.
You can edit the individual objects of a group by selecting the group and pressing F3. Press Ctrl+F3 to exit the group editing mode.
You can animate drawing objects, text objects, and graphic objects (images) on your slides to make your presentation more interesting. Trine Office Impress provides you with a simple animation editor where you can create animation images (frames) by assembling objects from your slide. The animation effect is achieved by rotating through the static frames that you create.
If you create a bitmap animation (animated GIF), you can assign a delay time to each frame, and specify the number of times the animation is played.
Select an object or group of objects that you want to include in your animation and choose Insert - Media - Animated Image.
Do one of the following:
Click the Apply Object button 
to add a single object or a group of objects to the current animation frame.
Click the Apply Objects Individually button 
to create a separate animation frame for each of the selected objects.

Enter the number of seconds you want the frame to display in the Duration box (middle box).
Repeat the last two steps for each frame in your animation.
You can preview your animation by using the controls to the left of the Image Number box.
