Cue Points not Working for Text Box...

Feb 07, 2013

Hello I am new to Storyline, so I could totally be doing something wrong, but I can't seem to get the cue points to display the correct information and I'm having a devil of a time getting text to show up "on cue".

I have a text box with animations coming in, and I set up the cue points when I wanted each phrase to display. I created the cue points, but all of the bullet points are coming in according to the animation, not to the cue points. I tried removing animation, but then they all show up together, again, not along with the cue points.

Can I use cue points with text? Thanks so much for the help!

Hi - yes.

If (for example) you are doing a "Fade" animation, you need to choose the Fade> By first level paragraph setting.

That way, a little "arrow" will appear on your Timeline next to the Textbox, and you can set the bullets or whatever to come in based on Cue Points.

Hope that helps - let us know.

I imported Powerpoint slides into Storyline– but my animations did not take and are not working correctly. When I try to fix it – it is just not doing what it should do – I can’t get it to paint the format from one text box to another and am not having an easy time working with animations – it is not like PPT so it is difficult for me to figure it out. I have a move to the left animation that doesn't even seem to be an option in Storyline - are animations reduced in Storyline compared to useing PPT and presenter?

Do you have a detailed tutorial on using animations in Storyline?
