Request: Motion Path Reverse Option
If you've used motion paths, you've probably been frustrated by the need to have separate paths to move an object back and forth. Wouldn't it be great if the Move trigger let you choose between moving in the original direction of the path or simply reversing that direction!?! I envision the Trigger Wizard for this feature looking something like in the attached photo. I submitted an official feature request years ago. Maybe it'll help if more folks do that. Here's the link:Help Us Improve Our E-Learning Software by Submitting a Feature Request (articulate.com)Make states' position relative to original slide
Please change this, or at least make it an option. It is difficult to line things up to the pixel when I cannot simply type in the position to match that of an object on the slide. What should be easy can be next to impossible. Example: I currently have a slide with ten icons in black. I want different icons to change color based on where the user is hovering. This should be easy: make a new state, have the recolored icons in the same position as their corresponding black icons. However, I can't just type in the same position as the originals, so I have to try to line it up. Of course, they look great in the editing window, but when I go to preview, they've jumped off by one or two pixels, and then I publish it and they're in yet a slightly different position. Please allow us to just type in the same x and y coordinates that I had on our original slide. Maybe it's me, but I have not yet found a use for the position being relative to the state object instead.Freeform Pick Many using 360-degree Images
I want to create an interactive freeform pick many question using a 360-degree image. The ability to freely explore a location using a 360-degree image and identify issues or items is excellent virtual training. Using a 360-degree image during training can help identify items, but we currently cannot use it to test learners' ability to identify multiple issues/items in an environment. It could be used to help employees perform safety inspections or workplace examinations.Survey Results - Results slide and email
Description / Context: Since some LMSs out there do not offer LRS, it would be good to have the ability to submit survey results via email. The idea is that Storyline would have this as a new variable/functionality ready to use: learner would answer a training reaction survey (which could have likert scales, numbers, "agree - disagree" statements, and even text entries), than this variable would store the answers and allow the results to be sent via email, as an attached file or even in the email itself. This functionality should allow the instructional designer to set the survey to be anonymous or not (optional setting). It should also allow for a final slide showing the results of the survey entered by the leaner, indicating if the survey is anonymous or not, the answers the learner provided and then with the "submit" option. Major gains: This would bypass the lack of LRS, allowing the L&D professional to embed surveys in the training and making them necessary, allowing for 100% survey completion amongst the learners who completed the training.Remove default drop shadows on caption text
I started using the caption text shape feature for the first time, and couldn't figure out why my caption text kept showing drop shadows (since I didn't enable drop shadows). I finally figured out that this is a default setting for caption text. I would recommend removing default drop-shadows on caption text, and would argue that most designers do not use this feature (though I'm happy to be proven wrong). Drop shadows on text have a generally dated feel, and should be something that designers opt into, rather than out of.Import multiple SRT caption files, so the learner can pick multiple languages when watching a video.
Hello, I would like to import 16 SRT files to a video in Storyline, so the learner can pick the language they want to read during a video. I realize this isn't possible to do now. However, could you create this feature?Request: More Keyboard Shortcuts
One of my favorite things about Adobe's software suite (as an example), and what really set them apart from other programs for years, was how well they integrated keyboard shortcuts throughout the suite of programs, and how specific they are. There is a shortcut for almost anything and everything - sorta. After Effects is a great example; you can navigate across a video, add a layer, edit an asset, or do an almost infinite number of things simply using keyboard shortcuts. All of which are great time-savers. I would love to see more keyboard shortcuts integrated more across Storyline 360! Here are some rough examples of what I mean: CTRL + ] Go Forward a Slide (In Editor) CTRL + [ Go Back a Slide (In Editor) CTRL + " Go up a Layer (In Editor) CTRL + ' Go Down a Layer (In Editor) CTRL + / Go Forward One State (In/Open 'States' View) CTRL + . Go Back One State (In/Open 'States' View) CTRL + R + P Replace Picture From File (if applicable) CTRL + S + P Size and Position Properties (if applicable) Shift + ] Go to Beginning of Timeline (in Editor) Shift + [ Go to End of Timeline (in Editor) Then having a library of these keyboard shortcuts that users could refer to would make for the ultimate cherry on top. I'm a fiend for keyboard shortcuts, and combining keyboard shortcuts with hotkeys makes for a lightspeed workflow. Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions? What shortcuts would you like added?Request: Expanded Format Painter Options
Sounds simple, but also a bit vague, and gradually more complex. To clarify, I think a massive time saving feature would be to add a potential menu that allows users to check/uncheck additional options they want copied and pasted over with the Format Painter. For example, the user would go over to the Format Painter > Right Click, and then be presented with a cursor menu of options that could look something like: "Include 'Crop from' properties" "Only use 'Crop from' properties" "Include 'Size and rotate' properties" "Only use 'Size and rotate' properties" "Include 'Position' properties" "Only use 'Position' properties" "Include 'Horizontal' or X property" "Only use 'Horizontal' or X property" "Include 'Vertical' or Y property" "Only use 'Vertical' or Y property" This might sound a bit out there, but I think it could be a powerhouse when it comes to saving time. Here are a couple examples: Selecting and option like "Only use 'Crop from' properties" could speed up photo cropping sevenfold. Using "Include 'Vertical' or Y property" could easily help developers make sure their headers or text are consistently aligned on all slides with ease. Clicking "Include 'Size and rotate' properties" could drastically speed up global edits to the course that may be beyond editing the Master template. This could take a tedious task that could take up to half an hour to complete manually, and turn it into one that only takes a couple minutes and a few clicks. Potential issues: This could get a bit tricky when variables don't match up. For example, with the 'Crop from' option; what would happen if I applied a crop that was larger than the image it was being applied to? What would happen to the image? Perhaps there's an alternative option to the output, or maybe just an error popup stating it would be outside its parameters. Applying size and rotation properties? What happens to the states? Do the states also resize and rotate to match? Should we include 'States' as one of the options above? What if I want to copy the formatting of something but don't want to copy its states - can I deselect that?
