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:

Hi,
Already requested since 4 years about a morph transition on storyline ! It will be so great and useful ! Do you have some news on this topic ?
Hi Timothy,
Thanks for checking in on this! There's nothing new to report as of now but the feature is being tracked. I will also add your voice to the request. When there's any new information to report we will update this conversation. If there's anything else you need don't hesitate to ask!
This would be such a cool feature! I would definitely use it to spice up my courses.
Do we have an update on this request?
Great! Is this an enhancement yet? Just wondering!
Hi BJ,
Thanks for checking in!
I appreciate you taking the time to share what you’d like to see in Storyline 360. We're still tracking this request, so I’ll go ahead and include your voice. We’ll update this discussion if this feature makes it on our feature roadmap.
Is there like a "bubbling under" list? If it's on the roadmap page and I didn't see it, please let me know!
The features currently in development seem great. I just want to understand where Morph transition sits: is next on the list, barely on the radar, or somewhere in between (and if so, what that means for a timeline). This post alone is from 2018 and has a number of comments in support. Given that time, I think it's reasonable for the Product team to be clear with clients on whether or not this is happening, and if so the eta. Thanks!
Hi @KellyAuner - I have been told by Articulate support that you guys count the number of requests of a feature in order to actually put it on your roadmap... the more *actually submitted* requests, the higher the probability it'll make it. So I'm one of those that have requested this, but I'm part of a team of 20+ that all want it. Are you saying that you need as many people to actually come on board either here in the chat thread or via the official request form to consider this? Honestly I think it's time to pull it off of the "we'll think about it" to "ok folks, let's do it"! Imagine the STUNNING things you could create with this far beyond what you can do now. It would be a great PR/marketing push on social and not cost you a lot of money to get the word out. So... shall I request my team to reply to this? Maybe attach a signed form? How do you want us to submit?
I work in a team of around About 100. We would all love to have it as a feature on here!

Gethyn, perhaps with your 100 and my 20, it'll be enough for Articulate to realize that users really want this - not just the vocal ones, but the ones that wish it was available and didn't know how to make their voice heard. I'll reach out to you offline - I have a separate question!
+1 for morphing capability in Storyline.
Add me to the large list of users who want to add morphing to Storyline.
