COPYING OF ANIMATION EFFECTS FROM A SOURCE OBJECT TO AT LEAST ONE TARGET OBJECT

A method and a processing device may be provided for copying animation effects of a source object to one or more target objects of a presentation. The source object and the target objects may be included in presentation templates, or presentation slides of presentation files. The one or more target objects may be included in a same presentation slide as the source object, a different presentation slide as the source object, a same presentation file as the source object, a different presentation file as a source object, a same presentation template as a source object, or a different presentation template as the source object. Animation effects that are supported by a target object may be copied from the source object to the target object. When copying one or more animation effects from the source object to multiple target objects, timing of the animation effects may be serial or concurrent.
