Speeding up An Animation
Jan 03, 2021
I am trying to have an image and a text box perform the Shrink and Turn animation, triggered by a START button. However, the animation takes a really long time to animate. I create a 2nd screen where it is to animate because I am having a large textbox to enter with instructions.
I tried to have it animate from the base layer but I didn't know how to fix it.
I tried to disable the animated parts on the base layer and have a trigger to bring the items to NORMAL but that didn't work. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Reba,
Thank for the video explaining what are experiencing. That really helped me to understand you issue.
What causing your issue is how the exit animations work. Exit animations always play at the end of their spot on the timeline, minus their duration. For example, if you look at the Science Title Logo, layer on the timeline, you will notice that the layer is set to display for the entire 16 second timeline. If its exit animation is set for .5 seconds, the animation begins at 15.5 seconds.
Changing the length of the timeline fixes the issue.
For your convenience, I've made the update in your story file for you to look at.
I hope this helps :-)

Thank you soooo much Dave!!
Wow, I see how my inexperience is showing... I never thought about the timeline. I kept adjusting the duration.
And a BIG thanks for the updated file.
No problem, Reba.
There is no better teacher than experience. :-)
