Transition between state change in character poses very jerky

Sorry, yes, I did hit reply.  Below is the attachment.

Thanks Janice, this really helps. I had them set up to transition through a state change, but setting them up as separate images on the timeline with a fade animation smooths things out. Thanks!!

Hi there, I am trying to do this exact thing but was trying to do a state change from one pose to another when a caption bubble appears.  But when I go to the NextBubble State change, I don't have access to the Animation buttons to try a quick fade in....so wondering if states works as right now it is very jumpy from one to the other.  but thinking if I have to put the character on the timeline twice as Carol mentioned to get it to work.  Janice you mentioned you had attached something but I do not see it. Would you mind sharing?  Thanks 

The attachment is in my reply above - called transition_example.story

Thanks, I see it now after your reply here but my computer didn't load it...I have been having issues lately....thanks Janice!!  Much appreciated.

I recall seeing a post about applying the animation and then copying and pasting into the state. Somehow that attaches the fade to the state change: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/fade-animation-on-change-of-state

But the thread is quite old, so I'm not sure if it still applies to this current version of Storyline. Haven't had a chance to test this.

Any updates on this post?

Hello Adrienne!

We don't have an update to share on this bug as our team is currently prioritizing other bug fixes. We'll update you in this discussion when this fix makes it on our roadmap. In the meantime, I'd encourage you to connect with a Support Engineer to take a look at your file and see if we can suggest a workaround!

Thank you. Do I do that by submitting a ticket?

Make it a great day!

One other solution to this is using GSAP. As its build into Storyline and Articulate uses it for all its animations internally...well it works great. Here you see a sample of it.

To hide and or show...well thats easy... i added a button to toggle and change the time of the duration. If you just need the fade you can get rid of some variables.
Adding the Storyline file.

That works well when there is a button, but not when you add the trigger on the timeline.

Make it a great day!

I dont like the timeline anyway ;-) So mostly use GSAP's timeline to create timed animations. In fact im quite sure the Storyline timeline uses GSAP's timeline in the backend.

How do I do that? Just google search?

Make it a great day!

Hi all!

I am happy to report that we are not seeing this behavior in Storyline 360 (Build 3.49.24347.0):

• Illustrated Character flicker/flashes when changing expression.

If you're still running into this snag, make sure you're using the latest version of Storyline 360.

Don't hesitate to reach out to us in this discussion or in a support case if you have additional questions!
