Entrance animation/exit animation - can we do emphasis?
I would like an object in Storyline to pulse repeatedly from the beginning to the end of the timeline. In PowerPoint I would use an Emphasis animation - is there a workaround in Storyline?
Hi everyone!
I have some great news to share! We just released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 84, we've included important fixes and new features.
One of the new features we've included is:
- Choose from a library of emphasis animations that grab learners' attention with effects like pulsing, shaking, and teetering.
Launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer to take advantage of this update, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.
Please let me know if you need additional help!
NOt really you can put an object on a layer with a grow animation behind it and set it the layer to keep opening. The only things that pulse are markers
Depending on your requirements and your specific shape, you could probably make this work using:
- An animated GIF
- An SWF animation
A video loop could work but that's a little more complicated since there's no loop property.
Thanks for the replies guys - I think I'll definitely add this as a feature request, the technology is obviously there as Phil mentioned, should take too much time to add that as a state...
... animated states.. woaahh... I'm already getting excited
Thanks for the suggestions - I don't fancy creating a flash animation and videos are maybe too clunky, so will give Bruce's idea a go first..
Happy friday :)
Hey! I have been working with Storyline for a while now... I can see it's been 6 whole years since this discussion was had, and there are still no emphasise animations built into the program. Will this change? Is this still on the list of requested features?
What type / shape and background are you looking at? I'll crank out some animated GIF's if you think they'd be valuable. Adding that to the state background of your object could produce the effect you're looking for without resorting to looping logic.

Hi Todor,
We still use Entrance and Exit animations in Storyline, and we also have motion paths now. There aren't specific emphasis animations included. This discussion is quite a bit older and I haven't seen a lot of requests for it since then which does help us prioritize features. Take a look at how we figure out what features to add next here.
Put in another request to add Emphasis Animation. I wonder how many more request they need to include a feature request in their roadmap development queue?
Count me in. I cannot believe this functionality which has been available in PowerPoint since the Stone Age isn't available in Storyline yet.
I know I've requested emphasis animations before. Let me go on record that I still want them.
Cheers!

Thanks, Gerald, Ray and Lori for adding your voices here too! It really helps us to know what features you'd like to see and how those will help your course design.
