Are we talking animations from within the image its self? or the custom
animations applied to an image once it is inserted into PowerPoint. If it is the
custom animations applied to an inserted image, then AFAIK, you need to re apply
them.

It costs a little, but I live by Corporate Imaging's EFFECTS LIBRARY, which
not only preserves an animation, but allows you to 'copy' an animation and
apply it to other objects! They have a new version of IMPORT/EXPORT due out
soon (I'm running the beta) that allows you to update a picture with a new
one without loosing any settings.
Check it out here:

Hello,

| How do you replace an existing picture in a slide presentation without
losing all of the animation
|
This ability has been in PowerPoint since (at least) PowerPoint 97,
although in a somewhat limited fashion.
Basically, if you have an animation effect applied to the "Object area for
AutoLayouts" in your Slide Master, and you insert your pictures using the
slide autolayouts using the object (PPT 97/2000) or content (PPT 2002/2003)
placholders in those layouts to contain the pictures, the pictures will be
automatically animated.
Then, if you delete a picture it is replaced by the empty object/content
placeholder and you can insert a new picture into the placeholder and the
animation is applied automatically to the new picture. The steps vary
somewhat from version to version so I'll give sample steps for the latest 2
versions of PowerPoint (2002 and 2003).
1) Apply entry animation (Fly from left) to "Object Area for AutoLayouts"
in Slide Master
2) In new slide choose slide layout with content placeholders
3) Insert picture into slide by clicking on the "Insert Picture" or "Insert
Clip Art" button in the middle of the content placeholder (and insert your
picture)
4) Verify that the picture animates as intended
5) Delete picture (picture is replaced by empty content placeholder
6) Repeat step 3 to put a new picture in the placeholder
7) Verify that the animation still works for the new picture.
The additional benefit of PowerPoint 2002 and 2003 is that, with multiple
masters, you can have different slide masters with different animations
effects (or none at all) and you change/remove the animation from the
pictures in any slide by simply applying a different master (design) to the
selected slide.
In PPT 97/2000 you don't have the buttons inside of the object placeholders
so you have to "place" the pictures differently into the placeholders but,
other than that, the behavior is the same when deleting and replacing the
picture with a new one (the animation from the Slide Master is retained).
If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that this capability
can/should be improved in PowerPoint (without have to resort to an add-in
or VBA), don't forget to send your feedback to Microsoft at:

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also why it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.
IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions)
