A way to disable modifying animation length on the timeline?
The newest update for SL360 added some weird ability to prolong or shorten animations on objects via the timeline. It's been a usability nightmare, as grabbing objects with the mouse to move elsewhere often results in changing a an effect instead.
Needless to say: this is not a welcomed update. Any way to disable that?
Hi Stephen,
Sorry to hear about your experience with the recent updates in Storyline 360. One way to prevent the animations from accidentally being changed is by locking the items with animations in the timeline:
Alternatively, if you prefer to work without this feature entirely, you can downgrade your installation to a previous version. Here's how. I understand that this might not be the equivalent of disabling the unwanted feature in a recent version of Storyline 360, so I'd recommend raising a feature request directly to our product team so they can hear your thoughts on the recent additions to Storyline 360.
Joe,
This is laughable, and not a solution. Locking an item I WANT to move (but not changing animation properties of) is not an answer; that prevents me from doing the change.
Downgrading my version of SL360 is definitely not a solution. It's absurd you even suggested it.
And no, I will not be submitting a feature request for your people to reconsider something I have no sway in them reconsidering; it's a farce and a waste of my time.
Given the crop of NEW bugs in the current build (i.e. text jumbling, the wonky CC generator, base layers not pausing in some cases, states not showing up, etc.) PLUS this new frustration *combined* with the $100 yearly increase for a 360 subscription -- how about *you* submit the feedback *for me*? I'm not paying more *and* doing your job for you.
Articulate's quality of software has been dismal over the last few iterations, and frankly, I am fed up with it. This company never listens to its most requested items (i.e. a Mac version, or a 64-bit Windows version), so let's not pretend having me submit a simple "let us disable animation modifications via the timeline" will actually result in getting such a customization added in -- because it won't.
