Stortyline Animations

Hi Jeff,

I don't believe so. But, you can extend animation within Storyline by adding Flash movies. It's also possible to fake some effects depending on how you layer your objects.

Hi Jeff,

Those are currently the only animations supported, but as Julie mentioned there are a few workarounds depending on how you want to set it up.

In the meantime, if there are particular types of animations you'd like to see, you're welcome to submit a feature request. 

I agree. I wish there were more like they have in Presenter.  It is hard to believe something as robust as SL would only offer FIVE animation options.  I submitted a feature request, and hopefully they plan to add more.

Agreed!! How long ago did you make your request for more options?

Thanks Caroline for submitting a request ( and welcome to Heroes!). 

Our team is looking at more powerful animation capabilities for a future release, but I don't have an update on what those are or when they may be released. Be sure to subscribe to the Articulate Word of Mouth Blog to receive notifications when new updates and features are released.

Hi All,

I'd also like more animations, but in the meantime thought I'd attach this file which shows 2 ways that existing animations can be used to a bit creatively and a way to incorporate motion paths into SL

So, Presenter is able to use motion paths in PowerPoint. To get these to work in Storyline, save them in PowerPoint as a movie file and then import into SL.

In the attached

Slide 1 uses masking for a fly up

Slide 2 uses several objects placed at intervals along the timeline

Slide 3 has a import .wmv file from PowerPoint

Any questions, please shout out.

Nice examples Becky, thanks for sharing here!
