Do PowerPoint animations and their timings you've set in Presenter come across when you import from a PowerPoint file? Based on my memory I don't think they do.
If you're opening the PowerPoint file in Presenter 360, the animations and their proper timing should appear. If you're importing the PowerPoint file into Storyline 360, here's what is supported. Let me know if you see something different on your end!
The animations (entrance/fade in) that were synced in Presenter are not happening anymore when importing it into Storyline. All the animation happens at once. Is this because it's one text box? Would I have to break up all the text into separate text boxes and then adjust the start/end times on the timeline to sync it in storyline?
Not everything is carried over when slides are imported from PowerPoint to Storyline 360. For animations and transitions, this article lists everything that is imported:
If you have specific timings and animations for text in your text boxes, you'll need to recreate them within Storyline 360, and you may need to move the text into individual text boxes for the timing to be the same as it was in PowerPoint.
