When I add the Wipe animation to an object or text in Storyline it is not working and looks more like the fade animation. Anyone know how to correct this?
Thanks, Ashley. I did, indeed, miss the interim posts, before adding my two cents. Sorry about that. Unfortunately, I do not see the company I work for moving to Edge soon (too many problems already reported) and Chrome use is not favored for reasons I don't know.
I imagine we'll have to suck it up and move to Edge in 2020. Until then, our Storyline courses will look pretty ragged. My S3 was updated jsut this morning - the jerky slide transition has resolved, but it sounds like as long as we're favoring the departing IE, our courses will not be able to utilize some very basic features.
No worries, Jeff! I wanted to make sure you had all the info.
The masking animations and such won't work, but most other things in Storyline 3 should still work in IE.
Does the company already block Flash so you're using HTML5? It may help to share that site I mentioned if only to make the case to move to a browser like Edge or Chrome sooner. I often find it ironic that companies are abandoning Flash based on security issues, yet will still use a browser like Internet Explorer and sometimes even force it into Compatibility mode (which is like IE7 or 8!). Seems a bit counterintuitive. 🙃
We're also preparing for the demise of Flash, by throwing a party...ahem, I mean continually updating Articulate tools to work seamlessly in the HTML5 output, and looking towards a flash free future for authoring as well. You can read a bit more about our plans here.
What browser are you clients viewing the Review courses in?
As Leslie shared before your reply, there are some browsers that won't allow the wipe animations. The original issue here, where the Split, Wipe, Shape, Wheel, and Random Bars animation with Effect Options set to "by paragraph" when applied to Text appears by Paragraph only was fixed in Update 12 of Storyline 360.
If you're only seeing some odd Wipe animation behavior in your Review courses, it would help to take a look at those! Can you include the Share link here and a copy of your .story file for us? If you'd prefer to keep it private, not to worry, our Support Team is at the ready to review your file too!
Hi, I just published a SL3 product to LMS and the wipe and wheel animations don't work in IE. They do work in Chrome. Published in HTML 5 / Flash Fallback.
That is correct wipe animations do not work in IE, it is an issue with the way that browser handles masking and will never be fixed. The good news is that edge should support masking animations in the future as it is changing the underlying engine technology.
Just an FYI, Leanne, it looks like your email signature came through when you replied via email. You can remove that if needed by clicking ‘Edit’ beneath your response. Here’s a quick Peek video if you need help.
Is the Wipe animation issue resolved? It's been discussed for 2 years now. I'm hoping there is an update. Meanwhile, even after updating my 360 last week. The wipe animation does not work on published output. If the animation is available in Storyline to be used, it should work in the published output as well. Does it really take 2 years to work on this issue.
There have been a few issues discussed here, so I'm not sure which one you are running into.

It sounds like you're using the latest update, so the following browser limitations may be more relevant:

Thanks, Ashley. Yes. We’re a team of 7 so we’ll take a look at that site.

Hi Jerine,
There have been a few issues discussed here, so I'm not sure which one you are running into. The original issue here, where the Split, Wipe, Shape, Wheel, and Random Bars animation with Effect Options set to "by paragraph" when applied to Text appears by Paragraph only was fixed in Update 12 of Storyline 360.
It sounds like you're using the latest update, so the following browser limitations may be more relevant:
Storyline 360 and Storyline 3: Some HTML5 Animations and Transitions Don't Work in Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge
Storyline 360 and Storyline 3: Some HTML5 Animations and Transitions Are Converted to Fades on Mobile Devices
Let me know if you're running into a different issue or with a different browser/environment so that we can take a look and help you out as well.
As of today, Storyline 3 (update 6: 3.6.18134.0) still has the same problem - published 'wiped' shapes often invisible, yet clickable.
Was this ever truly fixed or just put to the bottom of the pile by the dev team?
After recent update wipe animation is not working in .story file is there any fix for this issue.
