Powerpoint Slides with Animations

Hi Tori,

When importing into Storyline from Powerpoint there are a few things to keep in mind, and the full list is here, but I included the animation/transition pieces below:

Entrance and Exit Animations	PowerPoint entrance and exit animations are supported in Storyline and will be imported—though some will be converted to Fade animations. Click here for details.
Emphasis Animations	Emphasis animations aren't supported in Storyline and won't be imported.
Motion Path Animations	PowerPoint motion path animations that have equivalent counterparts in Storyline are supported and will be imported. Motion path animations that aren't supported in Storyline will be ignored during the import process. Click here for details.
Slide Transitions	PowerPoint slide transitions that have equivalent counterparts in Storyline are supported and will be imported. Transitions that aren't supported in Storyline will be ignored during the import process. Click here for details.

 

It's also important to note, Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge don't support masking animations in HTML5 output. As a result, some Storyline 360/Storyline 3 animations and transitions won't work in these browsers or in CD-published output. 

Hi Ashley,

Thank you for the quick reply. Can you tell me what a masking animation is?

Thank you so much,

Hi Tori,

Sure thing, a masking animation is one that covers or uncovers the object/slide. Here's a list to help you out: 

Object Animations	Slide and Layer Transitions
Random Bars Shape Split Wheel Wipe	Blinds Checkerboard Circle Clock Diamond Dissolve In Out Plus Random Bars Split
