I have some text listed as bullet points and I want to have each bullet come in at a specific time, but I can't seem to figure out how to accomplish this. I know we can adjust the timing of the animations in terms of speed, but that's not quite what I am going for.
Is it possible or will I need to include separate text boxes?
Sounds like you are using Storyline. You don't need separate text boxes.
1.Go to your timeline. To the left of your main text box(the one with all the bullets) you will see a small drop-down arrow. Click on it and it will separate your bullet points so you can have them come in when you want.
2. On your animation, make sure you have "one at at time" selected.
For objects (say shapes), you'd need to move these were you wanted to them to animate on the timeline itself. Let me know if that doesn't make sense and I can create a screenshot.
Yes, select the object, apply animation you want from the ribbon, and drag
to where you want the animation to happen on the timeline.
Another way to align if you are wanting to align animations to voiceover:
You can also align them to cue points on the timeline. Use keyboard
shortcut control + C to create the cue point on the timeline, and then
right click on the object to align it to the cue point.

Hope that's what you were referring to. --Daniel

Please help!
Thank you!
Hi Lindsay! I'm not sure 'exactly' what Daniel was trying to explain, but I did throw a quick Screenr together to assist you in getting this set up:
Thank you!!! That fixed it.
Glad to hear it Lindsay! Thanks for the update and just let us know if you need anything further.

Hi Sherali!
I'm not sure if Daniel is still subscribed here.
Did you take a look at the video I shared above? It explains how to do so.
Just let me know if you have any further questions.
I am using Storyline360 and am unable to locate these functions. Is this only for bullets or can it also be done with objects?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Daniel,
Does that mean I just click on them and drag them to when I want them to animate onto the slide?
Thanks!
Yes, select the object, apply animation you want from the ribbon, and drag
to where you want the animation to happen on the timeline.

No problem. Happy to help. --Daniel
