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?
Please add me too
On April 11, so about a month ago @KerryMunz , Articulate CTO posted this article.
https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/storyline-under-a-microscope-an-update-from-the-cto
In which she promises more transparancy. Some quotes from the post."Transparency: We need to be more transparent about how we are prioritizing our work."
"Communication: We need to communicate proactively instead of reactively."
"We are committed to more transparency and proactive communication directly with the engineering team because honestly we are only here because of you."
So lets see how transparant Articulate will be on the 'Morph'-transition.
Is this something to be expected this year or not ?Hi everyone,
Thank you for reaching out about our plans for Storyline 360! Don’t worry—we still have new features and enhancements planned for Storyline but are focusing on its quality first. You can learn more about this decision by reading our CTO’s announcement.
We’re committed to more transparency and providing you all with monthly updates as we refine the roadmap. Stay tuned!Joe,
The 'Quality' that you mention should be there as a minimum - this is what we, or our company's pay a princely subscription fee for.

Well Said Math.
Hi Joe,
So in this transparency a simple reply to a thread that is in multiple locations will be eagerly awaited.
'Yes Morph will be coming to Storyline 360'.
Or 'Morph is not planned to be coming to our package and we had no idea of the desire for this facility'.
I guess these are the two options for you. So which is it to be? Or if you have a third we are all ears on this thread.
Cheers
Gethyn
I agree Gethyn
I'm adding this in here because I think it directly affects getting any new features, such as the morph transition, which we've been requesting since 2018 but does any else feel that Articulate are giving more time to their easy-win/made for beginners authoring tool 'Rise' to the detriment of Storyline?
do you want a morph animation or a morph transition ?
- morph animation (svg based) could be done with gsap (included in storyline) - not a big deal**
- but for morph transition from one slide (with any content) to each other slide (with any content) there is no solution in browser available - I know only tools which creates videos*.
* if anyone knows solutions in other programms, which works at runtime in the browser - please post the urls here in the forum
** only shape animations
Hello, isn't the gsap morph plugin a paid thing if we want to animate svg objects in storyline? Could you please share more details or anything you've morphed using gsap?
I'm looking for both animations and transitions but for text as well as shapes.
Morph animations for me! There are plug-ins, but they are not available out-of-the-box or as built-in functions. :)
Hallo zusammen,
Wann kommt die Morph-Funktion endlich zu Storyline? Die Funktion existiert bereits seit über 5 Jahren in PowerPoint. Niemand scheint sich für die vielen Anfragen von Nutzern zu interessieren? Ich weiß, dass es andere Optionen gibt, aber sie sind nicht benutzerfreundlich. Ich bin enttäuscht.
but powerpoint had dropped "Publish your presentation to the web" in 2010
so you cannot compare powerpoint with storyline
Please add a morph feature!
Hi Shauna,
Thanks for reaching out! I've added your voice to the feature request for a morph transition in Storyline, so you'll be notified once this is available.
I also want to add support for the desire for Morph. iSpring has it and it is hard to get behind Storyline w/o it.
