Expanding circle reveals video clip
Hi,
Is it possible, using Storyline 360, to have a circle with an entrance animation of Grow, and when it grows a video is revealed in the circle (4 sec long). The circle would then have a Shrink exit animation, hiding the vid clip. This is for a popup-style effect.
I am stuck on how to not have the video (square shape) shown except for in the circle. I think some type of layer or mask, but not sure how to go about this.
Thanks!

Hi ST - here's a quick pass at the effect. Let me know if you think it's close to what you're looking for.

Thanks, that is what i am trying for. I have 2 characters on screen, and i want that circle to pop up.
Will having characters on screen be an issue for this?
Is this a big white PNG rectangle with a hole in it and a grow animation? :)
I prefer vector shapes to keep the circle mask sharp and crisp, but a .png would still work.

Characters will be fine. Just keep any on-slide objects you add above the shape-mask layer. I'm attaching the source file so you can see how I put it together.
Thanks so much for your help! I will take a look and try to incorporate it.
