1 slide: quote

6 slides (max): GIF or cinemagraph
To set slides to transition automatically:
Canva: Click on a slide. At the top, click the clock icon “Edit timing”. Set the timer to 20 seconds.
Keynote: Select all of the slides. Click on the Animate tab. Set “Start Transition” to “Automatically” and “Delay” to 20 seconds.
PowerPoint: Select all of the slides. Click the “전환” tab. Set the timer on the right side labeled “다음 시간후” to 20 seconds.
Google Slides: It is not possible to automatically set the timer for 20 seconds, so presentations will need to be exported as a PowerPoint file.
