Bonjour Heroes.
I tried and tried and tried. After a hundred prompts, I give up.
(new message, Tuesday evening)
I decided to give it a second chance. Because I'm a little afraid I ruined the challenge. I hope to see something good from someone else, to hide my terrible failure.
I place an image.png of the Earth that I name “Earth.”
Here is the prompt: Apply a circular motion to the object named Earth, around the center of the slide (screen size 128x720), starting from the object's initial position. Make one revolution in 10 seconds.
This time, I spoke to the BetaThing in English, in case any terms were misinterpreted, even though the interface is in French and it responds to me in French. And I added “Please” because, contrary to the cliché, the French are very polite.
Result: none. Once the trigger was created, depending on the original position of the Earth object on the screen (in the middle, or top left, or bottom right), I got a linear movement of a few pixels, or the object disappeared (off screen) and a piece of the trajectory (non-circular), or nothing at all.
I don't really see any difference when I talk to ChapGPT and have to explain how Storyline works.
I tried it with a linear movement, and it works very well. But then again, I already knew how to do that.
I'll let the BetaThing rest. I'm afraid I've offended it.

I agree with you! This challenge was a workout. I had to ask 3 or 4 times to get my request to work the way I expected. This new feature didn't do what I wanted it to do...it did what I told it to do. :) I also tried being polite in my requests. I hope you figure it out!
Thanks JodiSansone . As Bono says: “I still haven't found what I'm looking for.” I like your expression, very apt. “This new feature didn't do what I wanted it to do...it did what I told it to do.” I wasn't expecting miracles, nor did I expect to stop thinking or working because I'm using AI. But I haven't figured out how to tell it more simply and precisely what it needs to do. In my particular case, of course.
I downloaded your file to see if I could get it to work. I was able to get the planet to circulate, I think, but it was off the slide. I couldn't get it to begin from the top position of the trajectory ellipse. I even asked another GPT to create the code. I couldn't figure it out!
I was bummed it doesn't seem to work with images/vectors, only shapes.
Unfortunately ded2 , I had also tried with a simple oval shape, replacing the image of the Earth (but after 100 test prompts, I wasn't sure anymore). I just double-checked. The oval element is correctly identified (it moves), but depending on its initial position, the same random problems described above appear. I think it's this particular trajectory (circular or flattened circular) that causes headaches for the BetaThing, not the type of element. At least, in my particular case.
