Animations from PowerPoint
Jul 22, 2015
Hi,
I'm very new to Articulate so sorry if this is a really silly question! I wanted to use an 'Appear' animation to allow my text to come into the screen character by character as if being typed out. I couldn't seem to achieve this in Articulate itself so I created this in PowerPoint and then imported it into Articulate. When I play the slide the text appears all together and not character by character as set up. I looked in the 'Help' section and it seems that animation is supported so is there somewhere I am going wrong?
Also, the support information keeps referring to an 'Articulate tab' in PowerPoint - do I need to download this in order to set up animations for Articulate? I thought this feature was linked to older versions of Articulate but maybe I'm wrong!
Thanks all! :)

Hi Louise!
Assuming you are a Storyline user since you are posting in the Storyline forum.
'Appear' is not listed as a supported animation when importing from Powerpoint as you can see here.
As far as the Articulate Tab in Powerpoint, this would be if you were a Presenter software user, which is different than Storyline.
You can do this if you export the PowerPoint as a video, and import the video into Storyline
Hi Leslie,
Thanks for your response. I'm confused as I've read different things in different places about what is supported and what is not but at least you have confirmed for sure, thanks.

Hi Walt,
Thanks, what a good idea - I am definitely going to try this to see how it looks! Thanks for responding :)
