Create transparent layer

Jan 11, 2019

I'm trying to create a transparent layer, i.e. one where if you click on the layer, the base layer doesn't turn to black and white. This is on Storyline 2. Any way of doing this?

Thanks for reaching out and sharing what you would like to see. I see that Ryan has reached out to assist.

With your permission, we'd be happy to take a look at your project file to understand what's happening. You can share it publicly here, or send it to me privately by uploading it here. I'll delete it when I'm done troubleshooting.

Can you confirm that this fog appears during preview or after publishing? Or is it just something that happens during development to help you know which items are on the transparent layer, and which are on the base layer?

In my experiments (with SL2 and 360), when I am working on a layer, the Dim option is available. selecting it causes everything on the base layer to be dimmed (white fog-like appearance), but only during development. Deselecting it makes the layer transparent, and all the items on the base layer show clearly.
