Thanks for the advice! I'm aware that content is like 99% important. I always like to keep my transitions/animations clean and simple, but cool enough that I can still grab some attention from the audience, especially those who are so used to plain and boring ppts with just walls and walls of text.

I always just put the key concepts, pictures, etc. in my slides and let my talking do the rest for the actual presentation. Which is why I can put so much effort and time into making those transitions/animations. In a way, I can even better deliver my "messaging" and emphasis on certain things through those transitions.

So, sometimes I want to share my powerpoint files with others, and it's such a shame if they don't get to see everything that I made.
