After Effects and Storyline
I have done a few projects using After Effects and Storyline. Here is one example
In this example most of the animation was done in After Effects which I encoded as an MP4 video and inserted into Storyline. The text animation was done in Storyline and inserted on top of the video. I did it like this so that I would not have to redo the video if I decided to change the text.
You can overlay text, buttons, markers, videos, quiz questions, pictures, objects, etc on top of the After Effects video and use simple triggers, variables or JavaScript to start/stop or interact with the video.
Storyline does not support alpha channels so you can't overlay a video with a transparent background onto elements in Storyline.
Beautiful Nancy - just about to head down the after effects route - very excited!
Great sample Nancy... challenges me to recreate something alike with Gsap in Storyline..thus being dynamic and changeable directly inside Storyline. Most animations and effects i see are quite doable directly in Storyline with GSAP.
One other option people could use to combine AfterEffects and Storyline are Lottie animations. As Lottie and Bodymovin work quite well and are JSON ( Javascript Object Notation ) it can be integrated perfectly into Storyline.is there a well documented process on how to apply GSAP animations to articulate elements?
If you check my posts and profile you find a lot of tips and tricks. Not perse well documented process but enough helpfull stuff. Most important to get started is knowing your way around with Javascript and how to select elements in Storyline with JS. If you know that, the GSAP website has abundant tips and tricks too.
I know this is a very old post, but I was curious to see Nancy's example. For me, the link brings up the Mac scam where it tells you your computer has been locked for security purposes. Just an FYI.
Hi Karen!
I just wanted to pop in and share that since this discussion is a bit older, Nancy may no longer be subscribed. If you want to reach out to her directly, you can do so by clicking on her name and selecting the 'Contact Me' button.
