New in Storyline 360: Emphasis Animations
Emphasis animations—the effects you know and love from PowerPoint—are now available in Storyline 360! These eye-catching effects like pulsing, shaking, and teetering give you even more ways to grab ...
Hello Everyone!
I'm happy to share that we have released a new update for Storyline 360 (Build 3.89.32618.0).
In this update, we have implemented a fix for:
- Emphasis animations didn't work after interacting with a lightbox and behaved erratically when looped.
As a first step, I recommend updating Storyline 360 to the latest version. Here's how:

Have a great day!
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 :)
Hi Laura, for the grow and shrink effect, you can accomplish that by choosing "Original Size" under "Effect Options". For example:
- Grow rectangle (effect option: large [which is the default]) when user clicks
- Shrink rectangle (effect option: original size [need to select]) when grow animation completes or when timeline ends, etc
Hope that helps!
