In this tutorial, we will learn how to export a PNG graphic from Microsoft Expression with an alpha channel that PowerPoint can import. I have used the new Microsoft Expression 3.3 for Macintosh.

With the launch of PowerPoint 2002 (and 2003), animation metamorphosed from a simple single-click attribute to something much more enriched, and complicated. Designers spent hours mastering the new motion paths and fine-tuning the timings on multiple animations. After the jaws finished dropping and the wows were over, designers were expected to create a similar animation effect for another presentation element! You get the pattern: hours upon hours were being spent on recreating the same effects. It was often felt that it would be great if PowerPoint had a library feature where all such animation procedures could be stored and then imparted to objects with a single click. Our product for review, Animation Carbon fills that void.
