New in Storyline 360: Emphasis Animations

Is it possible to loop these animations?

It's about time! This is a good start. Can't wait until you add more (you are going to add more?)

To get the new animations, you need to update Storyline. Go into the Articulate tray app on your task bar and in the drop down arrow for Storyline you should see the option to update Storyline to the newest version.

As far as looping, Kirk is correct:

• Create an initial trigger for the emphasis animation
• Create a second trigger to play emphasis animation when emphasis animation completes. This works for those animations that have the same start/stop point. With the grow and shrink you have to add a third trigger since they don't have the same start/stop.
• Here's a quick tutorial that walks through the basics.

I am also interested in looping.

I am enjoying this new feature! It seems to work with a variety of triggers. I agree that an option to return the image to its original state upon the emphasis animation completion would be nice.

There is one major issue, however : I created and saved a project with quite a few emphasis animations. When I reopened the project a day later, all of the emphasis animations had disappeared from my objects and my triggers showed "unassigned". Very disappointed this morning :-(
I am unable to send a support case because Articulate Support is down for maintenance until Jan. 29th 2024.

Very neat, I love this! It gives the opportunity to be a little playful with your animations. Previously I have tried to create my own teetering effect by making custom motion paths which is not as smooth as the new Teeter effect.

However, with the Growth and Shrink effect, I notice the image does not revert back to it's original size. When the growth effect is added, the image will get bigger and stay large, and vice versa with the Shrink. Fiddling with the effect options do not seem to help.
(This may have designed it this way intentionally though...)

The images with the other effects (teeter, shake, pulse) return to their initial state/size/placement.

I tried creating a second state to get the image to Change to state 2 after emphasis animation completes, but it doesn't seem to want to.

I will figure out a workaround. Probably hiding the image and having a second identical image appear when the engagement is complete, or combine with entrance/ exit animations.

Perhaps an option to return the image to its original state upon the emphasis animation completion might be nice, but this is great! I will certainly be using this feature right away :)

Hello all!

In Storyline 360 (Build 3.85.31840.0), we fixed a bug that many of you were running into:

• Fixed: Emphasis-animation triggers could become incomplete after reopening a project file.

From here, all you need to do is update Storyline 360 in your Articulate 360 desktop app!

If you run into any issues, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Support team in a support case. 

My team has also had the same issue with emphasis animations disappearing when a project is saved, closed and opened again! We enthusiastically started using them as they are great but were disappointed to have to reassign them when revisiting a project. I hope this will be fixed very soon.

Emily,

I followed Tom Kuhlmann's  post instructions and it did work! I attached Tom's post and provided a sample of the edited trigger I set for a marker after I added the emphasis animation.

Tom should change his name to Yoda...Learn you must!

If you have an error in javascript in your course the emphasis animations might not work
