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?
Yes! We want the morph transition!
Yes please add morph animation (scale, color change, etc. - like in a good old Adobe Flash only better :-)
Yes, please add the morph feature to Storyline!!
I am adding my voice to the discussion. Morph animation would be a game-changer! Please get it on the road map.
Hi Harry,
This feature has not been added at this time.
I wanted to share some information about how we manage these feature requests as that may be helpful.
I'll leave the creative design ideas to the community, but I do know that Roy mentioned, "Currently, I do my morphing in Powerpoint and export as a video to insert in Storyline", so perhaps that can help get you started.
I agree, Storyline would really have a leg up on other tools with more animation possibilities. It is similar to when Authorware was around with Director, Authorware was great for development ease and Director timeline based and more media friendly, then came Flash! Flash seemed to replace both tools and not only allowed great development, but animation as well.
If Articulate pulled from the Flash archives some of those features, such as motion and shape tweening, similar to what the Morph is doing in Powerpoint, that would create endless opportunities!
Please add Morph capabilities to StoryLine! It would enable us to create even more creative and powerful animations, easier and faster.
Adding Morph to Storyline would help make Articulate even more powerful. Having the Morph function in Articulate would be a real game changer for IDs&Ds and all types of presentations.
If we had the Morph feature it definitely would meaningfully improve the experience of working with Articulate software. Having the Morph feature would open up a whole world of creativity and time savings for us. And yes, it will benefit a majority of users.
And it would be a powerful selling feature for Articulate to help capture more of the authoring tools market share.
+1 from my side as well.
Please, please, please, please, please add the Morph transition! :-)
