Hi. I've searched the archives on this, but the search returned no hits.
Here is my question: I have created a text box with 5 lines of text. I would like to have each line appear on cue, but when I select Fade In By First Level Paragraphs, the text appears on an automated schedule that I don't seem to have any control over. Is there some way to have the lines appear on cue rather than automatically? I thought maybe cue points might address this, but could not find a specific reference to that function.
When you select "By first level paragraph", this creates a separate object on the timeline for each bullet or paragraph (there will be an arrow head pointing to the right on the far left of the text box or object the bullets are within). If you click on this arrow head, the timeline will expand to show you each individual bullet, which you can then move along your timeline to the position you want them to appear at. There is a screenr in this thread from Leslie.
You should be able to control the animations by syncing to a cue point as described here and here
Hi Richard! When you add in that animation, it should put a small arrow beside your text box in the timeline that you can expand and move each 'line' as you see fit. I'm attaching an image to help explain
I had been trying to figure out how to have a text boxes fade in and fade out at differnt times. Nothing was working so I came to THE community. I just tried this and it worked. Thank you! You ROCK!
Any way to have the text fade in by paragraph after an object has been clicked? I know how to adjust the timeline, but when I set an object's initial state to hidden I'd like it to reveal by paragraph when a button is clicked.
It will fade in as a whole when clicked but when I set it to fade in by paragraph it only obeys the timeline.
I made this demo file to show you how you can control when text would fade in using available triggers in Storyline 360. The basic logic is to pause the timeline of the slide until you're ready to reveal the text by paragraph.

Hello Benjamin,

Let me know if this works for you!
