Animation in Storyline through the Morph Transition

Some time ago, PowerPoint came out with a transition called Morph that literally morphs shapes, colors, strokes, graphics, etc. from one slide to the next. In other words, if you build a design on one slide, duplicate the slide, and make changes to the shapes on the second slide, the Morph transition will smoothly deform the shapes from the first slide to the next.

This transition is POWERFUL for animation. I feel that small animations of this kind are especially important for a product like Storyline. In a sense, the ability to build animations is one of the key features that I feel is missing from Storyline. If Articulate would consider adding the Morph transition to Storyline, it would allow users to animate the graphics on the screen with triggers, and I believe that would open up new worlds of possibility with Storyline.

Is this something you all would consider adding to Storyline?

  • I think your response is still there. Microsoft have the luxury that their presentations work within their powerpoint so they control the authoring and the player. Storyline has to publish content that works in browsers and does use an industry standard animation library to accomplish this. Animations have improved a lot and the roadmap does show more on the way.
