1. A machine-implemented method for replicating an animation effect from one object to another, the machine-implemented method further comprising: receiving a selection, from a presentation file, of a source object having at least one associated animation effect; receiving an indication of a desired operation, including copying of the at least one associated animation effect from the source object to at least one target object; receiving a selection of the at least one target object; and copying the at least one animation effect from the source object to the at least one target object in response to the receiving of the selection of the source object, the receiving of the indication of the desired operation, and the receiving of the selection of the at least one target object.
