Entire Text Appears Before Animation Happens

So I have a paragraph with bullet points that appear sequentially. I managed to get each bullet point to appear via animation when I want it, but the problem is that the entire paragraph appears at the beginning of the animation, then a copy of the bullet point overlays over the existing bullet point.

How do I get it so that the bullet point doesn't show until the animation makes it appear?

  • There was a functionality that I wasn't aware of. When you have a paragraph that you apply an animation to, you can choose to have each line come in at a different time on the timeline. You do this by clicking the caret to open the paragraph by each line.

    Then, you can slide each new line to a different part of the timeline.

    Never mind, I figured it out in the time it took waiting for this to be approved.

    Hard to know what's happening without a copy of your .story file. It sounds as if you have two copies of the text, but I'm just guessing.

    You could post just that one slide here, and change any text that's company confidential or HIPAA or GDPR sensitive.
