Adding Animations to an Object

Does anyone else find it unbelievably limiting that you can't add more than one animation to an object in Articulate Storyline?

  • Hello Cormac

    As far as animations go in Storyline - you can enter (which is usually a one time thing) and exit (another one time thing) and move, which you can add multiple of.  Are thinking about combining animation effects?  Is there a specific effect you are trying to create?  There may be some solutions I can share if I know what you are looking for.

  • Thanks Ron - I wanted to add an emphasis type animation (like Pulse)  to come in after an entrance animation, but this is not an option in Articulate (very limited options!). 

    But even if I want to add a second animation to an existing one, can I do it? 

  • We often add entrance and motion to an object so that they happen at the same time.  We also may add an animation to an object, then group that object with an invisible shape and add another animation to the group.  Experimenting with these options can produce some unique animations.

    Playing the state change triggers when animations complete can possibly give you the pulse options you are looking for.

      Again, workarounds Ron... everything in Articulate seems to be looking for workarounds. 

      A simple 'Add Animation' option would remove the need to workaround. 

      I saw a post on this from almost ten years ago so obviously not a priority.
