Unwanted Automatic Animations

Jun 13, 2013

Storyline seems to be applying animations to some objects automatically.  Even when I make sure the animation setting is at 'None' it still does this.  A few days ago I hit the 'Apply to All' button for slide transition and ever since it seems to have affected slide object animations.  I've removed some objects and added them in fresh but it hasn't helped.  This is very frustrating.  Please help someone?

Hi Christine,

I've managed to fix the problem!  I did the same thing as I did yesterday - clicked on the text object (that was flying in from the left even though there was no animation set on it) and then clicked on the 'No Transition' button.  This time it worked!

Can I just ask if the 'Transitions to this slide' buttons are supposed to affect the slide transitions only?  That was my understanding but it seems to affect some slide elements, e.g. text boxes, also.

Thanks for your swift reply here and all's well that ends well!

Hi Brian,

Awesome! Very happy to hear that you were able to get this working :D

Honestly, I think it was just an issue with the file. If you disable those transitions there should be none. So, something was just causing a hiccup, I think. If it happens again, it may be a corruption issue and might be worth it to import the original project into a new one

The transitions will affect the content on the slide, sometimes, yes. From my understanding it depends on the content and the type of transition. They usually affect how content and the slide appear when loaded/left.

Have a great Friday, Brian! :)
