I would like an object in Storyline to pulse repeatedly from the beginning to the end of the timeline. In PowerPoint I would use an Emphasis animation - is there a workaround in Storyline?
Thanks so much, Ray! That will save me well over 200 hotspots today. I had it no fill and dashed lines (for flashing running ants). It was (annoyingly) letting me trigger with a click anywhere on the screen and not just inside the no fill box. done and done.
And my vote. I'm looking at video animation software like Powtoon with pulsing / popping animations, and html Elementor effects like mouse/scroll effects & mini image zoom in/out with hover. Another way forward could be an animated icon library as some of the emphasis effects oscillate between two states.
What I've done is to put a shape behind whatever I needed to pulse, have both an entry and exit animation (fade in/out; at the same 0.5 sec duration each) and have the following 2 triggers:
Change state of [shape] to Hidden when Entry Animation is complete
Change state of [shape] to Normal when Exit Animation is complete
Hello everyone, any updates on emphasis animations and when we can expect more? I could really use a pulsing one in the project I am developing. Cheers.
I can see it's been 2 years since the last note on this discussion and we still don't have emphasis animations. Is there any reason Articulate is hesitant to add this request? Will it hinder the functionality of other components? I know we can probably achieve emphasis using states, layers, and triggers... but the level of effort is considerably higher and not as clean as if we simply had a 'PowerPoint-esque' animation effect.... Any updates on this?
Thanks for following up on this feature to add the Emphasis animation in Storyline 360! I'm happy to share an update, but I'm afraid it's not what you're hoping for. We've had features that are a higher priority, so this isn't on our current roadmap. That doesn't mean that it won't be in the future, but right now, our team is prioritizing other features for our upcoming releases. I'll be sure to report back when this makes it on our roadmap.
To everyone who s been asking for this.. i think I may have a workaround
Have the object you want to pulse appear last on the layer ( or atleast as the last animation ). Set the animation time for just a 1oth of a second and then add a trigger " jump to time on this slide " set the time in the trigger to when your object started animating " voila .. you have a pulse loop

+1 from me as well! Seems like Storyline should have everything PPT has, especially now that it's been around for so long.

+1 will really help

It creates a loop that pulses using the states.
+1 for emphasis animation.
How would you create a spotlight effect?
This is what I currently did...
1. Make 3 copies of image
2. Top version is the cropped area you wish to "spotlight". Add the soft edges picture effect
3. Middle version is normal. Set an exit fade animation with a shorter timeline
4. Back version should be recolored to dark gray
Is there an easier way?
Voting for this too!

+1! (Add me to the list of requestors too!)
+1 I would love to have the emphasis animations like in Powerpoint!
