Insert Zoom Region on a Layer

I would also really love to be able to trigger a zoom region. Now I end up having to mess around with timeline triggers, which is always a mess.

Hi Paul,

That's not a feature yet, but it's a good idea, and I can understand how that would make life easier for you. I think it would be worth telling our product team about it here! 

 In case you're wondering, here's how we manage all of the ideas we receive!

Thanks Ashley, submitted a feature request.

Thanks for taking the time to submit one, Paul!

Any update on whether this issue is being looked at (either allowing zoom regions on layers, or allowing them to be triggered by commands?)

Hi Paul - I do not have an update, but I'm connecting some dots on our end to bring up the zoom region on a layer into the forefront of conversation. No promises, but there have been quite a few requests, so I'm gathering those :)

Appreciated!

I just ran into wanting to do this with layers as well.  I have attached the graphic I was given for a dictionary entry.  On the slide, the graphic is small to read each pop-out definition.  I would love to have someone click on one of the pop-outs and be able to zoom that region while he or she reads it, then closes it, and then does the same with the next pop-out.   I guess I will just have to type the text into a layer to do this for now.  Thanks-

Hey Greg,

I think using layers is the way to go here! I created a quick sample slide to get you started. Click here to see it in action. 

Let me know if that's what you had in mind!

Hey Greg! I simply cropped the original image, then enlarged it, all within Storyline.

Watch this video demo to find out how I did it. 👀
