Hello! I'd like to suggest a future enhancement that allows a Storyline user to add text to speech audio to all slides with notes at once. This would be a big efficiency gain for anyone who uses the notes for the transcript. While it is already helpful to just click the button to create text to speech from the slides notes, it would be significantly quicker if we could get a prompt or something similar such as "would you like to insert text to speech audio using this voice on every slide in this scene / project that has existing slide notes?"33Views2likes2CommentsMenu Bar and drop downs should match
I have several slides that need image adjustments and I noticed that the Size/Position drop down menu does not match the size/position numbers in the menu bar menu. See example below. Is there a reason why the X & Y positions do not match in these two versions of the same menu?21Views0likes2CommentsAnimated Avatars
I'd love to be able to use Articulate (I mainly use Storyline) to create animated avatar training modules. I'm looking for more natural movements than what the static avatars allow using states and intro/exit animations. For example, I want to create an animated video of a cartoon avatar putting on PPE. Another example is an avatar whose mouth moves while talking.24Views1like1CommentPDF Reader or View PDF via Scrolling Panel
The ask: Could a PDF reader or an addition to the scrolling panel allowing PDFs be added to Storyline's functionality? Our team is required to present manual pages in our lessons, necessitating the use of a scrolling panels. To display manuals or textbook pages that are saved as PDFs in Storyline, you must process the conversion of the PDF in a third-party program. After the conversion, you must import the images and align each page individually in the scrolling panel. The pages must be grouped in a certain way for the scrolling panel to populate correctly. I’ve included a Review 360 link with an example of what the end results looks like: Review 360: PDF Scrolling Panel Example If a PDF reader was included in Storylines toolset, it would make life for designers much easier. Our team is looking for the following features: Allowing PDFs to be imported into Storyline without the need for conversion to JPEG or PNG Automated scrolling for multiple pages. Say the PDF has multiple pages, the user can either flip through the pages or scroll through them. How would it function?: Additional functionality to scrolling panels OR including a built in PDF reader to Storyline's toolset Additional Functionality: Zoom functions Enable PDF bookmarks We appreciate any updates or notice on building this functionality, if possible.338Views7likes7CommentsStory View Development
Wouldn't it be amazing if there could be a function in "Story View" to add stick notes, as I find myself more and more using it to do my storyboards for elearning projects. (I've added a couple of yellow boxes on the screenshot to illustrate how usefull it will be....10Views1like1CommentEditing slide master triggers in project slides
Would it be possible to make triggers generated at slide master level visible, editable and removable individually per each project slide? Project may require consistent triggers driven behaviors across slides, for example "hide the next button until the end of the timeline". The creation of the same triggers in each slide for a recurrent behavior may results frustrating and a potential source of error. The possibility to create these trigger at slide master level and have them applied to all slides is a good solution, but it doesn't work when a few slide are an exception to the recurrent behavior: triggers created at slide master level are not shown in project slide, thus they cannot be edited, deactivated nor deleted. The use of a second slide master, one with and one without triggers, may be a workaround but it would make tricky to troubleshoot or to review a project as it would not be possible to see from which master the slide has been generated. The possibility to see, edit, deactivate and delete slide master triggers would be an added value when deploying project slides.4Views0likes1CommentUndock Canvas
Just wondering if it would be possible to apply a solution I already experienced with other apps and proved working really well. At this time Storyline allows to undock menus such as timeline, notes, triggers, and so on, keeping anyway the canvas fixed within the application. In my opinion and as per my experience, this is a double limitation: - on one hand the size of the canvas keep being limited within the application frame, rather than having the possibility to be expanded to full screen; - on the other hand, menus which can be undocked, require clicking, dragging and scrolling but, if undocked, they are not anchored anywhere and can be moved, magnified or minimized unintentionally. It would prove much more comfortable to be able undock the canvas, leaving its space in the application frame available to increase the size of the menus. The undocking of menu can be left as well, should somebody feel more confortable with the solution already in place.107Views0likes2CommentsAllow Rewind Function on Restricted Timelines
As a rule, due to the nature of our business and contracts with unions, we must ensure that our learners are watching the full slide or video without fast forwarding through the content, but the restricted timeline does not allow rewinding or jumping back a few seconds (5 or 10) or to any point previously viewed until the entire video or slide has completed. This is extremely frustrating for our learners as a slight distraction could mean missing an important concept or content until possibly the end of the 15 minute video when they would then be able to drag the seekbar back. Requests have come in to also adjust the replay icon to allow small segments of time on that icon (which does not seem to work on a restricted seekbar w the slide set to resume saved state - another issue).Solved493Views12likes10CommentsAutomatically Uncheck Restrict Next/Back When Selecting Free
I just discovered this little UX/UI issue! If you have content Restricted with ☑️Restrict Next / Previous selected, as such: And then select Free from the dropdown: It doesn't show that checkbox for Restrict Next / Previous, but it still behaves as if the buttons are restricted when published. To change, you have to go back in, select Restricted from the dropdown, uncheck⬜ Restrict Next / Previous, then re-select Free from the dropdown. My expectation was that, because the checkbox disappeared, selecting Free would automatically disable the restriction of the next and back buttons. It also is not intuitive to fix - I was very puzzled why I couldn't find the setting until I retraced my steps - why would someone change settings to disable a checkbox specific to that setting? An alternative would be just having Restrict Next / Previous not tied to any Menu Navigations Restrictions state.183Views1like2CommentsCombine CC in Closed Caption Editor
Wouldn't it be amazing if there were a function in the Closed Captions Editor that let you just click to say "Combine with Previous" or "Combine with Next"? This will save so much time when the AI-generated CCs are too short, and at the moment, you have to manually add that CC to the next or previous one. Camtasia from TechSmith has this feature, and I cannot tell you how much I miss that feature here in the beloved Articulate Rise or Storyline. Especially because of WCAG regulations.36Views1like1Comment
