Hi, Sarah! The post about your new position in the Articulate Community brought me here. Congratulations - it is very well deserved, and based on the work I have seen of yours, they are lucky to have you.
I wasn't able to find that any previous comments had specifically asked about the rising mist effect in the opening slide of this course - which is super awesome (the effect, that is - not the fact that nobody had mentioned it, hehe)! Any hints on how you created that?

Hi, Matthew! That first initial screen with the trees and the stream is a video I found in Content Library 360. There’s a subtle mist effect in the video which inspired me to add my own mist on top of that to slowly introduce the title screen. In Photoshop, I used custom fog brushes over a transparent background and saved as a PNG. I then inserted the fog PNG into my Storyline project, duplicated it multiple times to cover different parts of the slide, resized to my liking, and added motion paths to slowly reveal the title screen with the video.
Thank you for the kind words! I feel very lucky to work with such great people and be a part of this awesome community! 😊
