Create a zoom effect on hovering possible

Feb 24, 2022

Hi,

Is it possible to create an effect when hovering over an object (picture) so that it zooms a little in and back out. The frame stays the same size but the picture zooms.

I'd like to build exactly what happens on this site: https://nos.nl/ when hovering over the pictures/news items.

(how) would that be possible in Articultate storyline?

Interesting idea.  I would probably use the built-in hover state for something like this.  There is a little nuance here to consider.  After editing the picture to be larger on the hover state and positioned correctly, you will need to Cut it and paste it back in the hover state (and send it to back if you have words, etc.) Here is sample - https://360.articulate.com/review/content/b621245e-f309-45b6-990b-171d2c31aa95/review

Hope that helps

Totally agree - one option would be to copy and paste the graphic onto the hover state as opposed to cutting it.  Then you can add entrance and exit animation more fluidly.  It is not perfect but should be close.  I have updated that link to represent this change - https://360.articulate.com/review/content/b621245e-f309-45b6-990b-171d2c31aa95/review
