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?
Hello everyone, 🎉
I have some great news to share! We just released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 98, we’ve included essential fixes and new features. One of the new features we’ve included is:
- Engage learners with fluid transitions that seamlessly animate objects, shapes, and other content between slides.
Launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer to take advantage of this update, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You’ll find our step-by-step instructions here.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have additional questions.

Chiming in to add that I agree. Morph in Storyline would be extremely helpful.
I am in total agreement - I would like to see more animation and especially things like a morphing capability.
Thanks for chiming in to share your thoughts as well Debra. The request for the morph transition has been shared with our team.
I wanted to share some information about how we manage these feature requests as that may be helpful.
You are always welcome to share your feature requests directly with our team here.
A feature request for custom quick styles, including captions, is one that has been shared with our team previously as well and we're tracking.
I'll add this conversation to the report as we track user requests and so that we can share any updates we have with you here.
Totally agree, Morph has been around for quite a while 2016, I have asked about it before because of the labor intensive workaround required in Storyline to even come close to this type of effect. I have been really discouraged by the lack of progress in Storyline lately. I feel they are masking the lack of development by providing template and asset libraries. Instead I wish they would focus on feature requests. For example, universally change the caption style for the entire project (just like you can replace fonts). This has been around in Captivate (global preferences) for eternity. It is why my team struggles to use it for software simulations.
I agree Debra!!! Templates aren't very helpful to me as I have to keep to a stricter brand look... morph would be great as it was one of the most powerful tools for a great look & feel in ppt.
Thanks, Heather for adding your voice! We'll keep you posted.
I just learned about the morph function in PowerPoint, and I immediately thought of all the useful applications this could have for eLearning. I would LOVE to see this added to Storyline!
Hi all,
This feature hasn't bubbled up to the top of our roadmap, but we're still listening to the feedback, so I appreciate you adding your voice here. Here's a bit more about how we work to prioritize feature requests.
So where is this bubble on the priority list?
Yes, this would be great! Am new to Storyline and this is one of the first transitions I tried to do. Looking forward to this being added :-)
I support that! I've been trying to duplicate the effect with motion paths, but it's really clunky and not a great effect.
Please Please add morph capabilities to StoryLine!!!
