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!

+1 I would love to have the emphasis animations like in Powerpoint!
+1 from me for emphasis animations!
I can see it's been 2 years since the last note on this discussion and we still don't have emphasis animations. Is there any reason Articulate is hesitant to add this request? Will it hinder the functionality of other components? I know we can probably achieve emphasis using states, layers, and triggers... but the level of effort is considerably higher and not as clean as if we simply had a 'PowerPoint-esque' animation effect.... Any updates on this?
Hi deborah!
Thanks for following up on this feature to add the Emphasis animation in Storyline 360! I'm happy to share an update, but I'm afraid it's not what you're hoping for. We've had features that are a higher priority, so this isn't on our current roadmap. That doesn't mean that it won't be in the future, but right now, our team is prioritizing other features for our upcoming releases. I'll be sure to report back when this makes it on our roadmap.
This was requested almost ten years ago Lauren. Do you foresee this being something that might happen within the next ten years??
To everyone who s been asking for this.. i think I may have a workaround
Have the object you want to pulse appear last on the layer ( or atleast as the last animation ). Set the animation time for just a 1oth of a second and then add a trigger " jump to time on this slide " set the time in the trigger to when your object started animating " voila .. you have a pulse loop
Wow this request went in almost 10 years ago. Nothing on this still. It seems we spend more time looking for workarounds on Storyline than anything...
No workaround on the increase in price of Articulate though.
Count me in for Emphasis effects, too...as others have said, this has been around forever in PPT. For those of us who do a lot of PPT importing, it sure would alleviate the burden of creating animated GIFs or using states and loop timing in a separate layer...both of which are kludgy workarounds.
I kinda thought the rationale behind the Articulate360 product line was that updates, new features, and bug fixes could and would happen more often and at a faster rate...Most of us would probably prefer smaller incremental releases of updates than have to wait until there is a critical mass of new updates/features/bug fixes.
I am looking for emphasis animations. Has this request from 4+ years ago been executed?
Still waiting for this!
