Creating a balloon animation
Hello,
I'm trying to create an animation of balloons waving in the air, but it's proving harder than I anticipated. As far as I've been able to figure out, there aren't any options for motion path...
Hi Susan, I love that you said you're pretty lazy - same! It really is a LOT of work to animate individual items, and I'm all for working smarter, not harder. Depending on what you're trying to do, could you use an animated gif or a video for the balloons? Sometimes the stock videos (if you have Articulate 360) have transparent backgrounds, or backgrounds you can work with. If you're eventually trying to use the balloons as an interactive object, like a button, maybe you could fade from the video to the buttons.
The animations that come with Storyline are somewhat limited. I can do more animation in PowerPoint than in Storyline. Could you animate the balloons in PowerPoint and make a video out of them?
