Steps to Add Slide Transition with C# REST API

  1. Set the credentials to create a SlidesApi object for adding transitions
  2. Upload the presentation to the Cloud storage for adding transitions
  3. Create a new slide for setting the transition
  4. Create an object of the SlideShowTransition class for setting transition characteristics
  5. Set the transition settings in the SlideShowTransition object
  6. Call the UpdateSlide() method to set a transition of the desired slide
  7. Save the output presentation with new transitions

These steps describe the process for adding the PowerPoint transitions with C# REST Interface. Upload the presentation, create a new skidded, add a new transition object to it, and set the desired properties in the presentation. Finally, call the UpdateSlide() to set the new transition to an existing slide.

Code for Adding Animation and Transition in PowerPoint with C# .NET-based API

This sample illustrates how to set PowerPoint slide transitions using the C# REST API. The SlideShowTransition class exposes a comprehensive set of properties—AdvanceAfter, AdvanceAfterTime, AdvanceOnClick, SoundMode, SoundName, and many more—giving you fine‑grained control. To apply the same transition to multiple slides, simply call UpdateSlide() for each slide you want to update.
