Typing effect animation?

Many thanks for sharing the workaround you discovered, Toni, as I am sure it will be helpful to others who come across this thread looking for help with a similar issue. 

I've been able to simulate the effect by inserting a line break (hit enter) between each line, then animate the text box to wipe from the left "By Paragraph" so that each line wipes in separately.  It's not perfect since each letter doesn't pop in as a unit but rather wipes in, but it's really close for the minimal effort required.  Add a typing audio track and I don't think anyone would notice the difference.

Thanks so much for sharing your discovery, Amanda! Hopefully that will come in handy for others who come across this thread seeking assistance in the future! :)

I was looking for the same thing. This "type" animation is built into Keynote. I guess since it is not included in Storyline I can create the animation in Keynote, export to quicktime and then import to Storyline. This animation should be built into Storyline.

Hi Darren!

You are welcome to share your thoughts with our product development team here.

This was an inelegant solution, but it did the job for me. I created a screen recording of me typing in MIcrosoft Word. I sized the capture window as small as I could. Storyline created a video slide from the recording. I then opened the video slide, copied the screen capture itself, and pasted it where I needed it. I then cropped the video a bit to fit it to the right size. A little extra work, but overall it was fairly simple.

I cannot believe that PowerPoint right now has so much more flexibility for animations and content smoothing. You would think that Articulate costing roughly $1400 would have some better control over animations and course quality improvements.

Glad that this was able to help you as well LaShondra - thanks for popping in to share.

This is so easy to  do in PowerPoint. Very cumbersome in Articulate... 

Captivate has had this for years... really Articulate?
