"Show Always" Option for Objects in the TImeline
Have you tried putting it on the master layout? The one problem you might have there is if you want it to be in front of other objects, because objects on the master are always on the bottom. In that case, you have to create it and copy it to each slide.
AFAIK, Storyline has no mechanism to allow a persistent foreground element. It would be a extremely useful to float a [character, audio, button bar, progress bar, logo] ABOVE the course, for the duration of the course. Storyline cannot. The master slide won't do it; no master slide element can overlay other slide elements. I sent this feature request down the black hole for 5 years. It's available in Captivate.
hey James. not sure if you've found a work-around for this or if it's even relevant any longer, but if you add a layer to a master & auto show that layer, any elements you add appear to be placed overtop. i haven't played around w/ this too much yet, it might have limitations, but i just tried it & at a glance it works.
Hi Nate, can you elaborate on what you mean by auto show layer?
I have placed an element on a layer in my master slide and added a trigger to the base layer that says "show layer X when the timeline starts". I have disabled the function that hides the layers below.
The problem I am running into is that the object shows on the first slide in the scene, but not the second slide. Is there a way around this?
Also, if my slides have more layers it also does not show the object in the master slide anymore.
Has anyone got a solution to this yet?
