Picture or Texture Fill option needed
The easiest way to achieve this in Storyline currently is to Merge text with an image, as in this example. The difference between this and my other example is that here the text becomes an image and is no longer editable, but you get the same final visual result.
Thank you, Nathan. It would be great if we also had the option to insert videos or GIFs with Text.
Yes. The options for that are limited to using the approach in my original example (JavaScript), or merging text with a solid shape to create a punched-out version and then masking the video with that new shape to give the appearance of video text.
Hello VigneshKrish075,
Thanks for sharing this idea! A picture or texture fill option for text in Storyline would definitely open up more creative possibilities, and I’ve added your request to our feature list for the team to review.
I also appreciate Nathan and Phil jumping in with helpful workarounds to achieve a similar effect in the meantime. Your input helps us see how valuable a built-in option like this would be.
