If you select With previous, the animation will play at the same time as the previous blitheness, and if you select After previous, the animation will brainstorm equally soon as the previous animation completes.
  1. Just like transitions, you can specify the speed of Google Slides animations. Drag the slider left and right to modify the animation speed.
