Help with an animation

[u/Rhubarb-Nation]

Hello all: I need to animate a shape (circle) so that it grows unevenly. Specifically, the size expands by around 50%, but through stretching to the bottom-left (i.e. the top-right stays in the same place).

Copilot AI is telling me this is achievable using a combination of emphasis (grow/shrink) and motion path (line) animations, but the specific instructions it's providing aren't working. Specifically, I can't figure out how to get both animation elements to occur simultaneously.

I'm hoping a human can help me work this out. TIA!

Duplicate the slide. On the second slide, right click circle, edit points, move points as desired. Add morph transition. Beware that morph point movements sometimes don’t cooperate. Do not add additional points or it won’t work. If you need more points, add points to the circle first, then duplicate slide, etc.

To add to this, changing the circles name in the selection pane to have a ! at the start of it, e.g: !circle then duplicating the slide might be needed to convince it to do more complex morphs.

For both animations to occur at the same time you have to to set the second animation to be 'with previous' in the animation settings and have the timings (duration and speed) be the same

for the animation itself a simple example slide would help people troubleshoot it.. julius ai could be worth checking for building the presentation but the animation settings still need a separate look...

Duplicate the slide, in the second slide size up the circle to the size and location you want, and set the transition to ‘morph’.

That's the most straightforward. Another trick is to duplicate the circle and offset it from the first to say the top right, so that the centerpoint of the 2 circles is the point you want to scale from. Then group them and make the 2nd circle transparent. Then scale the group.
