What is PowerPoint’s Animation Painter? The Animation Painter is a latest feature introduced in Microsoft PowerPoint 2010. It works much like the Format Painter which has been part of the Microsoft Office suite of programs for a long time. This feature saves your time when you have to copy animations from one object (text, image, shape, etc.) and paste them to several different objects. Instead of setting the same animation manually for each item, you can just copy the animation to several objects in a presentation.
