remove animation from a screen element

Oct 24, 2013

I have some slides with captions or pictures sometimes displaying after a delay. When I select the element and look at Animations, there are none applied. Any ideas on why this delay is occurring and how to get rid of it?

Hi Pamela,

Without seeing your .story file it's hard to say for certain, but have you checked things like the trigger panel or timeline to ensure that those are set to show you pictures or captions when you'd like? If you'd like to share your .story file here then we'll be able to take a look at it, and if you'd prefer to share privately you're welcome to send it here.

Hi Philippe

you have slide transitions set to 'FADE' change to None and it will remove the animation 'flashing' - You will need to do this for all slides so from Story View you can select all slides and do them all at once.

You do have fade animations on the text on the right of slides - if you need to remove those you highlight the text box, Click the Animations tab and select None.

Yes I mentioned above I could see the issue.  I thoought perhaps if you had copied the text from a word doc or ppt that it held onto the formatting but as you didn't that rules that out.

I think you need to submit a support ticket to Articulate to get them to look at the file. The animations look like they are stuck on.

I tried importing your file into a new file and same behaviour but I am using SL360.

I created a new SL360 file added an image and a text box with an animation and could turn the animation off. So I think the issue may be specific to SL3.

Sorry I can't be more help.
