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. If you're looking for a way to do simple but speedy animated videos or GIFs, PowerPoint is going to become your new best friend!
This article from BrightCarbon outlines a similar process to the Spin animation idea you mentioned. And what's nice is PowerPoint allows you to quickly set the animation to auto-reverse and adjust how much it rotates. Then you just export the animation as a GIF or video, and you can pop it into the background of your Storyline slide.
Here's a super simple example I put together in just a few minutes.
I've also attached the PowerPoint file if you want to take a closer look at how the animation was set up.
I hope this approach might work for your situation!
