TIP: Animate the change between character poses, photos, or other objects

I've seen a few posts asking the same question: Is it possible to get a nicer transition when changing between a character's poses? How about when changing between different states of an image? 

The answer: Yes!

If you want an animation (for example, a fade) between two versions of an object at a certain point on the timeline, insert the versions as two separate objects. Then have one version animate out as the other animates in. 

If you want an animation when changing between states of the same object, well, that takes a bit more work. You can't add animations to states of the main object. However, you can add animations to any object pasted or inserted into the state of another object

You'll find demonstrations and more detailed instructions here: https://360.articulate.com/review/content/79504552-7c2f-4087-9ec3-fa11af357608/review

      I recently answered two questions related to this. That spurred me to put the detailed instructions in Review. The next time I see the same question, I'll just point back to this.

  • Thank you very much Judy, this is very helpful !

    I have a question. Your last example about the feedback, is it a "normal" slide or a "quiz" slide ?

      That last example is just a regular slide that gives immediate feedback (Correct or Incorrect) in the Visited state.

      The same kind of animation could be used on a Freeform graded-question slide. However, when an object with a Visited state is clicked, it automatically changes to the Visited state. And it will stay Visited. That wouldn't work well for a response button in a graded question.
