Fade in lines in textbox one at a time

May 07, 2020

By S T

Hi,

I am using Storyline 360. I have been trying to get each line in one textbox to fade in at certain times. Looking this up, it doesn't look like I have the Sequence options under Effect Options (see attachment).

What am I missing? Each line is separated by 2 returns (tried one, tried with and without bullets).

Thanks.

Do you know why I can't see the options I need? I attached a screenshot.

The screenshot doesn't show me which object you have highlighted before you click the Animation tab. If you share your file happy to take a look.

I attached just one slide, content removed. I am unable to see sequencing options.

Thanks!

Looks like the text box might be corrupt. I added another one on the slide, selected it > Animation > Fade and the options displayed

Thanks!!

Any idea why the text box was corrupt? I have about 6 files that all have this issue (worked in one when I inserted a new text box as you suggested, so I assume it will work in the others).
