Is there a way to align the endpoint of the duration of an object?
I noticed that there are a variety of ways to set the starting point of an object's duration on the timeline--hitting "alight to playhead" or "Alight to cuepoint"--but I don't see any similar way t...
Hello Alex,
Happy to help!
Would you mind clarifying which feature do you need in Storyline 360 so I can check if its something that's currently available? If you need to align an object to the end of the timeline, you can take the duration of an object, subtract that from the total timeline length, and then add a cue point so you can move the object exactly to the end of the timeline.
Additionally, you can also check out this article if you'd like to know more about using cue points to fine tune your animations:
If you're looking for a different feature, please share more details and I'll be glad to confirm its availability for you!
Hi. Yes.
I did a motion path animation of an object moving from the right to the left of the screen. I want to align a copy of the same object to the object where it ends up after the motion path animation.
There is no easy way to do this. You can only see the beginning. When I try to run the animation on the timeline and stop it at the end so I can align the copy, the object jumps back to it's start point instead of staying at its end point.
This has been a problem for years and I'm so surprised that it's not resolved. I used to be able to do this with Director and also with Flash, but I've never been able to do this with Storyline.
Currently, I have to preview the slide, pause it when the animation ends, take a screenshot, try to align that screenshot to the stage and then align the copy of the object to where the screenshot shows that the original object's animation ends. And then tweak over and over so that it finally looks smooth instead of jumping around.
I thought I could work around this with state changes, but the different states have to include the position, which is difficult to capture.
Thanks.
