Hi Everyone. I need a help to learn how can I make morph transition as it is in powerpoint in storyline (like making a curved page turn and zoom at the same time)?:) Thanks.
This is an ongoing request that has never truly received any traction from articulate. I have put in a featured request and I believe others have also.
From my understanding, others have tried to make videos out of PowerPoint when using this transition and then add in navigation when using Articulate. Others have tried to recreate the transition directly in Articulate. Some have used other authoring tools to see if it was better supported.
I am going to try and do the video option because my client has already seen the demo out of PowerPoint and loves it. So if that does not work I may have to try another authoring tool or do a little back in coding with some Microsoft plugins to make it work.
I have been following these requests for a VERY long time as I would really like to see it incorporated. Hearing that Adobe Captivate has it and their cost is less expensive, it is really enticing to switch back.
This is not a feature that has been implemented at this time. I wanted to share some information about how we manage these feature requests, which may be helpful. This conversation is attached so that we can share any updates with you here in the future.

This feature would be nice. A workaround I have used is to create an image from Storyline and paste it in PowerPoint as a guide then replace the objects and create the Morph transition. then export that to a video and place that at the end of the Storyline slide. It is not tricky or time-consuming and it works. It does diminish editability in Storyline but if all you are morphing is an object or icons, it works well.
Hi - this request has been around for four years. And it's not the only one (requests for a Mac compatible version of Articulate has been around for 10+ years). So, could we get (or be directed) to insight on why these highly desired and requested asks aren't prioritized or addressed (especially for such expensive software)? Is it staff shortage? Tech operations? Can community members help in the development of these features in exchange for pay or product licenses?
Just commenting to support the cause. The morph feature is such a smooth & attractive transition. Wish I would have seen this earlier, as a current project of mine utilizes it ALOT! Please consider this for future enhancements!!
Jumping off of David's idea, I took a PowerPoint deck that Sarah Hodge shared that had great morphing transitions and tried to get Storyline to do the same thing.
Scene 1: I imported it into Storyline and it kept the animations but not the transitions. Scene 2: I played with the Storyline transitions to see if I could get anything close to the PPT. Nada. Scene 3: I did File Save as Video in PPT and imported it into Storyline and Voila! A replica of the PPT actions.
I've attached the Storyline file showing this, and put the original PPT in the resources.
I also discovered that PPT's Recording tab ribbon has a Publish to Video button that does the same thing as save to MP4 AND the Publish to Microsoft Stream creates the same thing in Stream, so no need to convert to video and upload.
Thank you, Kelly! PowerPoint has come out with a great updated product. PPTs can still be imported into most LMS' these days, especially when you can create a quiz in the LMS. We Articulate fans know what a great product this is, so we want to keep up with, no surpass the best! Morphing is the fun new thing these days. GSAP is built-in, but perhaps the new plugs in could be integrated as well? I love working with Storyline and Rise. Thank you for the great support.

Hi F,
We've had others request the morph transition, so I'll add this conversation to the report as well.
I wanted to share some information about how we manage these feature requests as that may be helpful.
Hopefully others in the community will chime in to share their ideas with you.
Hello Leslie, Thank you. Sure, Thanks.

There are many other transitions surprisingly not supported by articulate: https://articulate.com/support/article/Supported-Slide-Transitions-in-Articulate-Presenter-360

@Leslie McKerchie I saw this old thread, but this is very much an active request now... is Morph supported in the current version?

Is there any further development on this feature?
Hi Gethyn, and thanks for reaching out!
I don't have news to share on this feature request right now, but will be sure to update this thread on our progress.

Articulate have been very open that there will not be a Mac version.
Any update on this?
Please Please Please add this feature to your software! It would make our work so much easier and of cause our courses look much better :-)
Do we know where Articulate 360 stands with the decision to add "Morph" onto Storyline?
Yes, has Articulate decided to include this functionality yet? They incorporate GSAP, why not this plugin?

Hi BJ, and thanks for reaching out!
I responded to a similar post of yours on this thread. Please let me know if you have any questions!

I would love to have this feature. Following here.
Here to say that I would love this feature as well.
I am trying to recreate it in PPT.
+1
Let's up that transition game in Storyline asap!
This is very helpful! Thank you, Jean.
I would love to see this feature added directly to Storyline, though. I am using zoom transitions that can't be replicated without Morph.
