I hope this is being posted in the right location, but I am needing some help. I am currently working on a project and I want the title to appear as if it is being typed. I have the background sound as a type writer, but can't find the right transition to make this work. Has anyone done this before or have an example that would be willing to share?
Last question. Anyone know of sites for various cut-out characters? I typically go to eLearning brothers, but I am looking for cartoon military characters and objects.
A quick and dirty way of achieving the typed effect that I've used before is to open up MS Word, select my font, size, background colour to match, etc. and then use SnagIt (or similar) to record only that part of the screen (ie: where the typing occurs). Then export out that video clip and import it into screen steps and position/overlay it on your slide.
Hi, Brian -- In addition to Simon's suggestion above, you may also want to check out this thread where others shared examples of how they set this up. And as this is a design-type question, you would also be welcome to post over in the Building Better Courses forum and see what those folks might be able to suggest, as well. Best of luck with your project! :)
Storyline doesn't have an animation that would be letter by letter or word by word, but you're welcome to share your thoughts in the form of a feature request!
This a is a bit late but go to pixabay.com, and type in army or whatever, you can select a filter for images or vectors. There is quite a lot on army etc, some of the vectors are well...ordinary, but you can download the images, and "vectorize" them in Powerpoint/Photoshop.
There are some amazing photo images, and the site states that you can use all the content under the CC0 domain - "All images and videos on Pixabay are released free of copyrights under Creative Commons CC0.

You have sign up, but its easy to download the images
