pptXTREME' Animation Painter works just like the Size and postion painter, however these tools record the animation setting of an object and allow them to be pasted back on the same object or on another. See the example below to realize how valuable this is to all Powerpoint™ users.

1. With an object selected, click on the  Pick-up Animation button. This will record all of the animation settings of the selected object (even animation order). 
2. Select the object to paste the animation settings onto and click on the  Apply Animation button. 

Example:
Now you don't have to re-create the animations for groups of objects, everytime you have to edit one of the objects in the group. Just  Pick-Up the animation settings, ungroup and edit as needed, then re-group, and  Apply the settings back on the object!
