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 agree if they can revisit their priorities and I believe that they are listening to their customers it's just that Morph is not with a very high impact as we can proceed with alternatives. I visited their feature roadmap and I'm looking forward to those. Let's also consider their process as we all know that even in our own processes and business requirements we sometimes or most of the time prioritize things based on impact, need, time and effort. Take care everyone!
Very well said Patrick, I agree.
And would it kill you (after this many years) to do a Mac version?
Totally agree Julia. So, do we need to bombard Articulate with a feature request for morph before they will take us seriously? The number of users impacted, I believe, would be every user - the vast majority of instructional designers would appreciate this, even if they're not aware of it yet!
Yikes! I was hoping this request would be possible already. Please add me as a +1 for this request. It's a little frustrating that it is available in PowerPoint and NOT in Articulate.
Good Morning, All;
I am going to +1 for this feature as well.
If you take a look at how many companies are using Articulate (SL3 and up) as their primary development tool based on job descriptions and how many subscriptions that Articulate must have, I find it amazing that just because we take the time we are only "a small percentage of users". Personally, the less time I have to switch between dev products to create a module the better it is. Also, for downstream work if another ID has to work on the content but does not have the same tools I do, it becomes more difficult to update or modify.
Actually you can create Morph animations with Storyline.

As seen in this sample from me you can morph SVG shapes. Using GSAP Morph you can morph any given shape in Storyline to another shape. Also imported shapes will work. If anyone wants a tutorial to see how to get that done with Storyline and GSAP let me know and i make one.@mathnotermans - this is brilliant. Can you provide a tutorial to see how this was made !
+1 for Morph transitions! Thank you.
I too would like to have morph transitions supported in Storyline!
