Morph transition on Feature Roadmap
As the Morph transition made it to the Feature Roadmap for Articulate 360 ( finally! ), i do think it is good to post what we want/expect it to do, and what is a miss in our ( the users ) eyes. That way Articulate can keep that in mind while developing.
For that we first need to divide Storyline elements in groups/types ... so we can discuss how we expect that type to morph.
TYPES
1) Images
2) Storyline shapes
3) Video
4) Text ( SVG )
5) Imported SVG
6) UI elements
As on the roadmap it is defined as 'transition'. So i expect it to be exactly that. A Morph transition between 2 slides. So next would be defining the 'attributes' of the defined types we expect to morph.
ATTRIBUTES
A) Position x/y
B) Scale
C) Rotation
D) Fill color and line ( actually all Format Shape settings )
E) Transparancy
If for all the types the given attributes are morphable, i am happy.
I expect 3) Video to be non-morphable.
2) Shapes and 4) Text i however expect and hope to have all attributes morphable.
Do comment on this with your hopes and dreams for the Morph transition and lets hope Articulate listens.

The Morph Transition will indeed be a transition between two slides, just like in PowerPoint.
I expect that early versions will land in the private beta builds in Q1 of next year RebeccaNazareth.
I think you'll be happy with how it works based on your requirements list MathNotermans.

HI Jesse,
Will a Powerpoint with Morph transitions when imported/converted to Storyline have its Morph transitions converted properly to Storyline Morph transitions ???- JesseTaberStaff
We certainly hope to support importing these from PowerPoint, but haven't yet looked into how they present themselves within the PowerPoint model, so I can't promise anything yet.

Cannot wait for this! It has been a long time coming.
Slightly apprehensive we will have to wait a long time still, based on how long some other features have been posted on the roadmap.
However....
I would agree with the above points you have made. In reference to point D), I think transparency value would be high on the list as it could then be used to highlight or fade different elements of a slide, e.g. a step-by-step process.
In regards to position, I wonder if an object intersecting another object during the morph transition would be picked up by a 'object intersecting' trigger. I assume not, unless the final landing point of the moving object was on the target object.
