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.

Everyone ... I think the issue here is that:
• Obviously, Articulate doesn't care about its customers. If they did they would listen to customers. Pure arrogance. Same excuse again and again.
• And Articulate doesn't have the developer knowledge and skills to develop the Morph transition.Agreed. this is an ongoing active thread, and you've got customers going from discussing work arounds to discussing alternative software solutions. I do appreciate the staff update, but the answer is coming across as dismissive. Why is this not a higher priority? Our work in Articulate has to compete with work produced by designers using your competitors' software, and as the months go by, my work is starting to feel clunky and old fashioned without this option. Please consider reevaluating your priorities and moving this request up.
Agree, Articulate's answer is dismissive. It's not a higher priority to them because of their arrogance. They don't listen to customers.
We shouldn't plead with them.
We need to move on and use a competitor's product, to a competitor that cares about the users of its product.
If we can influence more Articulate users to leave Articulate for the competitors, then watch how Articulate will be begging customers to come back by offering all sorts of enticements.
I appreciate everyone sharing how there is still a need for the Morph transition in Storyline 360! Right now, we are prioritizing other feature requests, so I don't have a timeline to share. When we have more information to share, I'll report back to this discussion.
Head over here to check out which features we are preparing to release soon!
Five years it’s been
Please add me as a vote for bringing morph into Storyline!
I’d like to see an Articulate company response as to WHY this support has not been added. Too costly? Not possible? Don’t think enough people want or need it?
It’s kind of a big deal.
I would also love to know as well. I've wondered if it was a patent
thing? But it would be awesome to hear from Articulate if this is the case
or another explanation. Fingers crossed we'll hear from them soon.
I was first introduced to Articulate about 5 years ago, right when the Morph transition was first being implemented in PowerPoint. My job's path took us away from Storyline and only now (new job) am I finding the need to work in it. And here I am, on my very first project using Storyline, I really want to utilize the Morph transition. And it's 5 years later, and apparently no, they never acted on it. They either can't, or won't. Shame, as the Morph transition (from a quick animation standpoint) gives the user a LOT of bang for the buck—quickly.
Adding my vote here. I also sent this request to the development team as part of the beta testing group - fingers crossed as this could save 100s of hours every year.
If we can just get added to artculate studio that would be super helpful. iSpring has it... so it is more than possible!

hey there any news about the morph transition? i really need it!
please make it possible for us users! thanks
If not with Storyline.. at least with Studio 360. iSpring has the ability to use morph in what is their version of Studio/Presenter. Phase 1 could be to support morph via Studio 360 and Phase 2 could be to support morph in Storyline.
