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:

Yes this would be a great addition. A few people have mentioned the work 'Clunky' and I agree.. Articulate Storyline is quite limited for the price we pay.
Just found the morph tool in powerpoint and instantly wanted to know if it would be available in Storyline. Can see it being really useful in module development +1
Hi Lesa,
This conversation is specific to Storyline 360, and I've not seen an official feature request submitted for Presenter 360. I see that you have mentioned it in this conversation in the past, and I wanted to share some information about how we manage these feature requests, which may be helpful.
We froze feature development in Presenter 360. We'll continue to fix issues that stem from operating system upgrades, browser updates, PowerPoint changes, and security vulnerabilities. You can read additional details here.
As a bridge… when would morph be available for Presenter 360?
+1 on this feature. It's super disappointing that we can't use this in Storyline as we use it constantly in PowerPoint. If I could +100 on this I would.
+1 for this feature. I've created some really cool things using Morph in PPT and would love to do the same in Storyline!
If I could add more than a plus 1 I would. Morphing would create a whole new world of opportunity for Storyline developers. I've been waiting for this feature ever since PowerPoint made it!
+1 I would very much like to be able to use a morphing animation!
PLEASE I want morph in storyline pleeeaaaassseee
As concerning Feature Requests and the lack of transparancy on Articulate side on that, i created a Storyline setup in which users can add requests they have and vote for existing features.
Articulate should make something like that on the forum in my opinion.
Im adding the Morph transition feature request now, so you all can vote for that.
https://community.articulate.com/discussions/building-better-courses/feature-requests-overview-and-voting-systemChecking the feature requests in now 2 jump out.
Storyline for Mac - 151 votes
Merge/combine/add/subtract shapes - 62 votes
As i donot have build in some check if people add votes multiple times..do restrict yourself from that, because the complete tool is useless if you do that. I suspect someone did that with the Storyline for Mac feature.
