Fade by paragraph not working on 2nd and 3rd Layers

I have a slide with a base layer and then 2 other layers. The base and each of the 2nd and 3rd layers have text boxes containing a bulleted list. The bulleted items in each box in the base and layer 2 and 3 is coded so that they enter to sync with the audio.

This works in the base layer. However, it is not working in layer 2 and 3, even though you will see that I have synced the onscreen bulleted list to the audio.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

    Thank you, Luciana. I still wasn't able to get the layers to animate properly even following your instructions. No idea why. So, I just copied your slide into my project and the animations work.

  • Hi cynthiaLyons

    Thanks for reaching out! I tested this on my end and experienced the same slide layer behavior. 

    • Did you import your slide and layer content from a PowerPoint file? I noticed another community member brought this up in an older discussion and was curious if you had a similar setup.

     

    Great news! I adjusted this by inserting the text on each layer into new text boxes and modifying the animation duration on each layer. Here's a look at the adjustments I made! I've attached the updated .story file. 

    I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions.
