Entrance animation/exit animation - can we do emphasis?

FYI - I requested a "Pulse" state (perhaps using whatever code is used for Markers), to be one of the pre-configured states in the Beta.

Depending on your requirements and your specific shape, you could probably make this work using:

• An animated GIF
• An SWF animation

A video loop could work but that's a little more complicated since there's no loop property.

Could you set up a State called "Pulse", which had a Glow effect, and then use a series of off-stage boxes + Timeline to control it glowing on and off?

Not pulse I know, but similar.

Thanks for the replies guys - I think I'll definitely add this as a feature request, the technology is obviously there as Phil mentioned, should take too much time to add that as a state...

... animated states.. woaahh... I'm already getting excited

Thanks for the suggestions - I don't fancy creating a flash animation and videos are maybe too clunky, so will give Bruce's idea a go first.. 

Happy friday :)

What type / shape and background are you looking at? I'll crank out some animated GIF's if you think they'd be valuable. Adding that to the state background of your object could produce the effect you're looking for without resorting to looping logic.

Hey! I have been working with Storyline for a while now... I can see it's been 6 whole years since this discussion was had, and there are still no emphasise animations built into the program. Will this change? Is this still on the list of requested features?

Hi Todor,

We still use Entrance and Exit animations in Storyline, and we also have motion paths now. There aren't specific emphasis animations included. This discussion is quite a bit older and I haven't seen a lot of requests for it since then which does help us prioritize features. Take a look at how we figure out what features to add next here. 

Put in another request to add Emphasis Animation. I wonder how many more request they need to include a feature request in their roadmap development queue?

Count me in.  I cannot believe this functionality which has been available in PowerPoint since the Stone Age isn't available in Storyline yet.  

I know I've requested emphasis animations before. Let me go on record that I still want them.

Cheers!

Thanks, Gerald, Ray and Lori for adding your voices here too! It really helps us to know what features you'd like to see and how those will help your course design.

I really wish the animations were more enhanced, especially since the development of HTML5 and CSS animations. This is something I've requested before and feel somewhat restricted and limited on. I just wish Storyline360 even had the 'morph' transition from PowerPoint and overall some smoother animations etc.

I have been looking for ways to do this as well, please put emphasis animations into the queue! :)

Yep, this would be very helpful.

Thanks all for adding your voice to this idea - I'll update the request with our team to reflect the interest in this feature. 

+ 1 here too! Especially since we can publish to video now. I'm creating an animated intro video in Storyline to use before a how-to video/screencast. I really need to emphasize a couple of elements on the screen. I'll submit a feature request and will try the workarounds in the meantime. 

Thanks for taking the time to submit a request, Shannon! If we add this feature to Storyline in the future, we'll let you know. 😊

plus one from me too - would love to see emphasis functionality!

I know this thread has been going on for some time.  I want to add my voice to the count for the Emphasis feature added as well as Pulse feature added for entrance and exit animations.  Those would help me tremendously.

Thanks for your input, Alex and Cassandra! You'll be among the first to know if we add this feature to Storyline in a future update!

Hi. I would also like to see emphasis animations happen soon! (Do the developers accept bribes? Chocolate, maybe?)

Hey, Susan. You had us at dessert.. 🍫

I'm going to add your vote, and I promise to let this discussion know if we make this change in the future!

voting for this as well!!
