How to make background change over time?

Sep 27, 2022

Hello,

I saw this example, https://elearning.space/storyline-example-2/ and I'm trying to recreate it to learn how it's put together. Specifically, as seen in the second slide, how do I have a background picture appear for a few seconds, THEN darken?

I've been learning articulate for only a few weeks, and for the last two weeks I was sick as a dog with covid, now I feel like I've forgotten everything, but i can feel the knowledge there, like it's just out of reach. It's driving me nuts.

Hi Susan.  I hope you're well on your way to recovering from being sick. And not to worry—the community has you covered for figuring out this visual effect.

Phil's suggestion is spot on. The simplest way to make this work is to put a semi-transparent rectangle over top of your photo and have it animate onto the slide. To make it even easier to figure out, I've attached a Storyline file where I followed his instructions for recreating that slide effect. I hope that helps and let us know if you have any follow up questions!
