TurboAnimator for Google Slides par Sriram Sami

TurboAnimator is an extension that lets you automate animation-related tasks in Google Slides* by directly simulating browser clicks, drags, etc. You can quickly add and delete animations with single key combinations, greatly speeding up animation-heavy workflows.

Why?

Using animations in Slides is sometimes tedious. There's no default way to change the default animation style and delay, and you need many clicks to add, delete, and modify animations.

My personal use-case: I always prefer a Fade In animation at 0.3 seconds delay, which previously requires 4 interactions per animation (Add Animation > Click on the animation type > Change to Fade In > Drag the timing slider exactly to 0.3 seconds). I created this extension to make my workflows much faster by just pressing "Alt+A" to add this animation.

Note: this extension is in an early beta release and is likely to have some bugs for now as I made it initially to solve a personal pain point. My testing is mostly limited to Chrome running on Ubuntu. Also, due to it simulating keypresses / etc on the DOM directly, this extension can easily stop working if the Google Slides user interface changes. However, this is the only way that animations can be automated for now, and since I use this daily, I will likely update it ASAP if something breaks.

As of this version you can:
- Add your preferred animation (chosen through the Options menu) with a single keypress (Alt+A by default)
- Delete the last animation in the list (Alt+Shift+D by default)
- Delete the last animation for the selected element (Alt+Shift+R by default)
- Use hotkeyed custom animations besides the default (e.g., Alt+Shift+1 by default for custom animation 1)
- Animate by-paragraph if necessary
- Choose which animation start condition should be applied (on-click, with previous, after previous)

Changelog:
v0.7.0:
- Changed naming and assets for clarity
v0.6.3:
- Fixed bug with timings at 1.0 seconds not applying correctly - not waiting long enough for slider animation time to stabilize caused timing to be incorrect, we now wait a minimum time for each animation to be added
