Is there a way to have audio fade in and out in Storyline? I find that the audio transition from slide to slide sounds kind of choppy without a fade. Thanks, Mandaly

Come on Storyline, your software is too cool not to have a features as simple as audio fade out built in - creating an extra few steps for us users!! Mart EllEn, Any update on this feature?

Hey all. I know the feature is not built in, but you can fade the audio out manually by using the audio editor. Select the time in the audio where you would like to start fading it out then highlight to the end and then reduce the volume by 10-15%. After that, select a second after the original time you chose and do it again. Keep doing this until you reach the end or you reach the desire level of audio you were looking for. It does take a little time, but it is very possible to achieve your goal using the audio editor.

Seriously - this is WAY past due, folks. It's such a simple thing to add in a fade in/out option in the audio editor. Doing incremental increase/decrease of volume in the editor "works" but the result sound choppy and not very professional (not to mention time-consuming!). Please Please PLEASE make this a thing!

Adding to the list of people who want this feature.

Adding my vote to at least including fade selection in the Audio Editor. When I see threads like this that are several years old with the "We will add this as a feature request" and then years later we see "it is not yet on the roadmap" it gives me pause to just how seriously Articulate is taking these discussions.

Ditto, simple fade in and out is critical to starting a slide (fade in) and closing a slide (fade out). Audacity works great outside of Storyline, but basic things like this should be part of the audio editor

Yes, please. I have to export the audio clip to my DAW to add the fade-in, then import it back to storyline. Even the consumer level, Adobe Elements has Fade-In and Fade-Out audio as stock features.

You could add an API or some other interface that would allow the user to open the audio file in an audio editor. So, a setting would allow user to associate audio files with one of a selection of editors (ProTools, Audacity,etc.). Then, within Storline 360, the user right clicks / "Edit in Audio Editor" to open in the associated audio editor. Then when they save and close the editor it updates the file in Storline 360.

Audio fade in and out already exists in PowerPoint... not sure why not here. Also, please add PowerPoint path editing tools (merge, exclude, etc.)!

  Storyline is not Powerpoint. If you prefer Powerpoint, use it...and use tools like iSpring to add elearning elements to Powerpoint. If enough users bail Articulate might wake up. If users stay apparently Articulate somehow does something right, why else would they stay ;-)

I also echo everyone's sentiments. I use Vyond to create animations to add into my Storyline and Rise courses and they have an awesome fade feature. It would be great if you can add this feature to Storyline!

Ditto this request. Having the audio fade in/out feature as well as being able to add one piece of audio seamlessly throughout SL would be incredibly useful.

Simple HTML code would do this. This shouldn't be a 6+ year old request... c'mon Articulate... smh
