Hello, I'm currently looking into creating animations for e-learning. If I create an animation using another software would I then be able to import that into storyline?
All depends on your animation. If its a HTML5 scripted animation you can use a WebObject to bring it in. Gifs and Mp4's offcourse you can import and use.
One great possibility for animation is using GSAP, as recently Articulate upgraded its internal used GSAP to the latest version. Any GSAP animation you have/make or find you can use in Storyline.
Biggest issue then offcourse is how to select and control your page elements. Due to the internal setup of Storyline thats somewhat more complicated, but it for sure is possible. Any given element on Storyline's stage you can control and animate this way.

A lot of Powerpoint animations, yes.
Some other program from Articulate, yes.
Otherwise, no, unless you can publish it from the software as a video, and import the video, but it will not be interactive.
Hello Timothy and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
I'm glad that Walt was able to pop in and help you here.
We do have some documentation on PowerPoint animations in Storyline, so I wanted to link that article as well:
