Help with New Morph Transition
The morph doesn't work with crops, when morph doesn't work it replaces that part of the transition with a fade.
Hi FelixFranke,
Thank you for reaching out!
- Do you have additional objects included in your shape's normal state?
- What shapes are you using? Do you notice if this only occurs on the base slide or the slide layer?
We are currently tracking a bug where the morph transition is not working on objects that include extra objects in their Normal State. As a workaround, we recommend that folks group objects to the base slide. Here's a quick visual.
We'd be happy to take a closer look at your .story file to confirm that this behavior is related to this bug. You can share your .story file with us privately in a support case.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Hi Lucina,
What I saw is apparently expected behaviour (I may have found that in another thread, actually). I have a slide, which consits of lines and shapes (circles) (it is a sort of a flow diagram. getting those to morph is a great "Whow"-effect to indroduce changes in the workflow). The lines fade out and back in (actually, they just appear, but they don't have an entrance animaton), the shapes I have, they morph as expected. As it happens, I only have circles here, but I have tried with other shapes like rectangles, triangles and so on, and I found that morphing small circles into big triangles did not work as moothly as it could. So as long as you stick to the same shape and just change colour and size, it works fine. Changing the shape results in fade behaviour. No idea if that is expected...
My solution for the current project (quick and dirty, I have a tight deadline atm), copy-paste the lines into paint.net and copy-paste them back and - bingo, I have an image, which morphs. It just needs to flow to a new position, so it's nothing too fancy.
Much quicker than searching for a more sophisticated solution.
So as I said, according to what Phil wrote, what I see is expected behaviour.
