Marker Animation Styles - Make usable as "Emphasis" animations

Jun 01, 2020

Hi Articulate!

So, I've noticed (can't believe it's taken me this long to be honest) that Storyline360 doesn't seem to have emphasis animations - that is if you want a button to keep flashing until the learner clicks on it, I can't see a way to do this without resorting to clever use or triggers and/or state changes.

I know in PowerPoint it comes with emphasis animations and I thought it would be nice if something like that was made available.

I know the markers in Storyline360 come with some nice little animations (pulse and swirl) which are continuous, but it would be nice if something like those existed for use on other shapes or the boundary box of inserted images.

I can create such things using Adobe After Effects, but I wouldn't say no to having such stock animations for emphasis of an object on screen. I'd love to have the the pulse animation from the markers available for use on the stock shapes available in Storyline (including the polygon tool) and on the boundary box of imported images.

 

Regards,

Sam

Hi Samuel,

I appreciate you reaching out and sharing what you'd like to see in Storyline. We do have an active request for emphasis animations, so I'll be sure to add your voice to the report!

Here's a bit more about how we work to prioritize feature requests. We'll be sure to update you in this discussion here if we decide to implement those features. Thanks again!
