PowerPoint Lines Import Crooked into Storyline

Hi here is a screen recording of my experience of importing lines from PPT to SL. If I sound frustrated it's because I am down to the wire before I have to go on leave for my infant daughter's heart surgery, and I am realizing that due to this import error, I will not be able to finish this course in time. 

Typical timeline for a course import:

  1. Import
  2. Manually add narration from Notes on 70 slides
  3. Manually recreate ALL animations since animations do not import properly from PPT

Now add a new incredibly time-intensive activity: 

4. DELETE, REDRAW, AND RECOLOR ALL LINES

All three of these time-consuming steps could be fixed with features in Storyline. 

Feature 1: Create voiceover from script off all notes slides at once 

Feature 2: Make animation timings import at least staggered on the timeline (like it used to!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Feature 3: make lines import properly

I don't understand why all animations now start at 0:00 on the timeline, when they used to be staggered according to "ON-CLICK" settings. That was WAY more useful than all timeline objects starting at 0:00.
