Hi, I have a list of 5 items that I'd like to animate. I copied an0ther animation with 3 paras and edited it to 5. Problem is, it is only animating as if it were 3 paras still. Is there a limitation on the number of paragraphs that can be animated using this feature? Thanks!
Hi there, Jennifer! I would expect the animation by paragraph to respect wherever you have a return or line break in your text box. I did a quick test in Storyline 360 with a standard text box:
Create a text box with 3 paragraphs.
Apply animation to text box, option by paragraph.
Copy and paste another instance of that text box.
Add 2 additional paragraphs of text.
Preview.
Following those steps, I was able to animate the second text box in with 5 paragraphs successfully. Let me know if I'm missing anything in your process!
I tested this in Storyline 2, and it works correctly there as well. Would you mind sharing a copy of the slide that's giving you trouble? I'd like to take a closer look.
I suspect that when you added two paragraphs, they defaulted to animate when the previous last (3rd) paragraph animated. What you are seeing is #1 animating, #2 animating, and #3, #4, and #5 animating all at once. Look at your timeline, expand the text box, and see if it looks something like this:
Give #4 and #5 their own timing, by dragging, or right-clicking and choosing timing, and see if that changes things.

Thanks, Crystal! I'm using Storyline 2. Do you think that makes a difference?
