Change the size of a shape during animation
My shape has a border around it and I don't want to shrink it with a 1:1 ratio. I want to make it thinner width but keep the height the same.
Storyline can't do this. I am using Vyond (formerly GoAnimate) in conjunction for a combined animation/eLearning, and Vyond allows you to move, rotate and size any object in one function, called "motion". But Vyond can't do borders around a shape... can't win today
Hi Tony,
It should be possible to create this effect in PowerPoint using the Morph transition. You could then screen record this and import the video into storyline.
Alternatively, If the shape you want to squish is a simple rectangle you could achieve this by having two rectangles motion path towards each other (slide 4).
Jordan,
This is awesome. What about if there is text on this shape. For example, I have a rectangle that takes up about 2/3 the slide, then after each point is made, by way of animated text on that rectangle, I want the entire rectangle and all the text within it to resize to 1/3 the page (same height, just thinner width, to make room for the comparison column of text next to it? Is there a way to make the text also transition with it? I tried adding the text in as a state with a trigger, but that change is a bit abrupt. Is there a better way to do so?
Hi Kim!
