I'm totally loving Storyline, but there's one thing that's driving me crazy. My client wants a slow zoom in on a product beauty shot. I can do this in PowerPoint, but I'm struggling to find a way to replicate it in Storyline. I can't do Zoom Region because the displayed text will fall off the stage. I've tried the Grow and Zoom animations, but they start small. I need the photo to start full screen, and then get larger, effectively zooming in. What am I missing?
Thanks Rex. I really appreciate your help. Is there a way to get that shape to continue to grow beyond the edges of the screen?
I need to start with a photo that fills 100% of the screen, and then have it grow, simulating a zoom in. I've attached a PowerPoint that demonstrates what I need.
Zoom Region isn't an option for me because I need a text box to remain visible throughout the slide, while effectively zooming into the photo behind it.
Thanks Walt. I'll give it a shot. I was hoping to be able to zoom high quality product photos throughout the course. Using video format will may result in reduced quality. Bummer.
As you can see the sample, you can really scale up the shape to your desired size. That is the only workaround in Storyline. Storyline doesn't support scaling of shapes / objects from the starting size to end size. The only way is to mimic the Tweening animation by covering the first few seconds of the animation.

Hi Drake,
You may love this method of doing what you need.
Hope this helps you.
Let me know if you have any questions regarding the sample animation.

You already have exactly what you want, so export your PowerPoint as a video, and import the video into SL.
