I would like to know if the Illustrated characters in Storyline can be exported out so we can customise them ( i.e. our uniform etc)? We've just selected Storyline as our corporate e-learning tool and we we could customise the characters, that would be magic !!!
It is possible to export them out, however it is a very tedious process. You will have to export all the artwork out (including the heads) set them up so that they all line up again, export them back out of your vector based program, and if you renamed the files, recreate the database.
If your looking for some different characters, I do have a website with a few stock characters (they work in storyline) and I also do custom characters.
Hey Dafne, you can change the character files extension from .ACP to .ZIP (make a copy) and extract the artwork. They are in WMF format and can be imported in Illustrator. Warning though. Once you do this, you cannot import them back into Storyline without a lot of work.
Thanks for the suggestions! Since I only needed to edit one pose, I just used the Image Trace option in Illustrator, made my revision, then used it as a regular image in Storyline. It's a workaround for now.

Thanks Jerson for helping out Shivani here!
Thanks Jerson. Appreciate your reply.
Hi all! How do you actually export the characters? Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello,
I know this is an old discussion, but is it possible to export characters from Storyline 2? I would like to edit a specific pose in Adobe Illustrator.
Thanks!
Hi Dafne,
If you were editing one image/pose - did you try to "Save as" image and update?

Awesome - thanks Dafne for that update and happy to hear you found a method that worked for you!
