I have a 5 text boxes (a list of items) that I want each one to highlight (change the color of the text) when the audio part says what's in the list - I thought I could use states and make one state change to color, but the text box only has hidden and normal as states... Is there a way to highlight the list as the audio plays? Thanks so much!
I found two work arounds -- I just have the line of text appear on screen when the audio part comes, and also used a whole block of text with bullets and did Add Animation > by first level paragraph to match up each bullet with the audio -- so, it'd be cool if there is a way to highlight lines as the audio plays, but if not the other ways work too.
Hi Stephanie! That sounds like a great solution. I'm not sure of a way to do what you're asking short of just having highlighted text show up in your animations, but that seems to defeat the purpose of what you originally wanted. No need to over-do it
This thread is a bit dated, but if you are using Storyline 2, you can achieve this effect. You can create new states on a text box, (Under Edit States) and use triggers to have them change states at a certain time on the timeline. You can set those triggers up by Cue points, or by timing.
Hi Hilary! This thread is a bit dated and I'm not sure what you are asking about here. You are welcome to reach out to the user as needed via the contact me option on the user profile.
If you would like to describe what you are trying to accomplish, perhaps we could better assist.
Hi Leslie - I was reading Emily's post and the changing the state to highlight seems like what I may be after. Basically the request was for the letters to "highlight" along with the narration.
Thanks for contacting us and sharing what you would like to create with your project.
I look forward to seeing the design ideas from the community.
To help get you started, I wanted to link you to a couple of similar conversations here and here that may be the spark you are looking for to get started.
Hi, so in all of those years of people asking for a feature to highlight text in sync with audio, articulate was not able to present a solution for this except telling people to use some hacky workarounds? This is something I would expect from open source software but not from a provider of paid software. IMHO
I would love to have a feature like that, because animating everything in only one second before it was said in the voice over, will discriminate visual learners that need the big picture.
Is there any feature in Rise 360 to highlight a text in paragraph in synchronous with the video playing. Whatever the narrator speaks in video that text have to be get highlight in paragraph.
We don't currently have this feature in Rise 360, where text is highlighted while a video is playing. I encourage you to submit a feature request so our team can begin tracking this request. In the meantime, as a workaround, you might consider a similar interaction in Storyline 360.
I hope other community members will share if they've created something similar in their projects!
If they don't have this feature yet, I did a very simple workaround. I simply overlaid text boxes (make sure the X and Y are exactly the same), highlighted specific words, and set the animations to wipe. After that I simply synced the animation text to the audio. Hope this help someone.

I second Stephanie's request.
Hi April,

Let us know if you need anything further!
April, do you have a tutorial on the method you described above?

Hi Hilary!
Looks like Emily was sharing information for the full text box.
I'm not sure of a way to animate/highlight across letters while the narration is going.
Perhaps someone in the community can assist with this request.
Hello,
Has anyone seen a recent solution they could share on this?
Thank you

Please give your valuable solutions.

Hi Ramona,
Thanks so much for sharing this workaround! I'm sure others in the E-Learning Heroes community will find this useful!
