Wipe animation with GSAP or JavaScript
Hi All,
I am working on a project where I want to show the progression of a graph in the timeline. What I'm looking to do is to have a wipe animation from the left, triggered by a button click, which brings the graph image to a certain place in its timeline. A second button click will continue the wipe image to the next place, a third click will continue the wipe, and so on. In total there will be like 5 places where the wipe image should stop and then continue.
...is this possible in Storyline?
Hi WilliamRyan-dba if you have flexibility on how this is presented, you could do this with Storyline and motion animations. For example, you could have your graph, and a "mask" shape placed over the top of it. Clicking a button could trigger a motion animation that moves the "mask" off the graph. Simple example attached.
When I say flexibility in presentation. Ideally the mask can be the same colour as the background of the slide so that the appearance is that the graph is gradually appearing.

Thanks for the suggestion. It was pretty easy to implement. I'm not sure why I wanted to make it more complicated than necessary...
