Deleting animations

May 06, 2014

I imported a Powerpoint presentation.  I want to delete the animation on one of the slides.  It looks like I cannot do it on the "Story" version.  I have to go back to Powerpoint, delete the animation, and then import to Storyline again.  It is possible to do this but it is annoying.  Is there away of deleting imported animation in Storyline?  I am talking objects on a slide that appear in sequence, one after the other after some delay.

There are two reasons that an object might appear after a delay.

  1. It might not be at the beginning of the timeline.  Do all of your objects begin at the beginning of the timeline?  If not, move them on the timeline.  Or Right-click the object's timeline and set the timing.
  2. The object might have an animation.  Select the object then click the Animations tab.  Be sure the animation is set to NONE.  

Try these.  If you still have a stubborn animation, I suggest posting a story file with the offending slide, and we can take a look.  You should be able to remove any animation in Storyline itself.
