Request: 'Clickthrough' Option for Images
When using transparent .PNG overlays, such as to create layered looks, depth, shadows, or to incorporate template-based assets developed outside of Storyline, the entire image currently makes anything underneath it unclickable, including large transparent spaces. This limitation reduces the creative freedom within Storyline. If the image could be designated as "click-through," it would greatly enhance our ability to design more complex and interactive slides. Even just a simple checkbox labeled "Click-Through" could be added under "Picture Tools - Format" or perhaps under the "Animations" tab, as it relates to interactivity, and then could apply across all assets; images, shapes, and videos. While there are workarounds—like extensive cropping, layering, or using hotspots over the overlay image and having them trigger the layers underneath—these are often tedious and time-consuming. A "Click-Through" option would provide a much simpler and more elegant solution, empowering users to build more sophisticated and interactive content with ease. As an avid-fulltime-user who likes to push the program to its limits, I'm just trying to throw things at the wall and see what sticks sometimes. Let me know if that sounds like a decent idea, how you might you use, how it could be made even better, or if there's any potential of it making it onto the features roadmap!Improve Background Audio functionality
Hi, I love being able to add background audio to my Storyline courses, and the trigger controls are great, but it still feels very limited. The option to create multiple background audio playlists that we can control with triggers would be a gamechanger (or the option to trigger a specific track from a playlist be on a per scene/slide basis) would really go a long way. e.g Giving users a choice at the start of a course to have [No Music] [Chilled Out][Upbeat][Etc.] would be cool, or having more control over the track playing for a specific section of the course to help emphasise the content would help make the courses more engaging and immersive. I've looked all over for a way to make this happen but I don't believe it is currently possible with the built in tools. Thanks!Rise: Text to Speech Function
Hello, After countless hours of importing the TTS that I have created in Storyline into Rise to promote accessibility and provide learners with a different way of experiencing the content I build, would this be possible to implement as a feature within Rise? The standard TTS or the new AI version could be added, and could potentially auto generate text to speech for the entire page, or to the next continue button or divider. Adding the ability to correct and edit the text later for any acronyms that don't sound quite right would also be helpful. I believe it would massively speed up the time to create content for other users who may well be doing the same thing, along with all of the other AI features.Lip Sync text to speech for characters
I would love to see a feature with the ability to lip sync text to speech or audio to the characters. Currently when creating scenarios or using the characters they are very static. More voice options for text to speech, or ability to change the tone or cadence so they are not so robotic sounding.Accessibility Feature
While trying to create content that is as inclusive as possible, I realized that that some users taking my courses may have mobility issues that make the drag and drop interactions difficult. To combat this, it would be incredibly helpful if there were built in unbutton release options (click to select then click correct spot) instead of making them drag and drop. This would be an awesome improvement on our end for testing their knowledge of order of events.Zoom Region
I'd like to have the following enhancements to zoom region functionality: Copy and paste a zoom region from one slide to another Display size and position for a zoom region These enhancements would allow seamless transition from one slide to another when the same zoom region is used on both slides.Character poses and expressions
I would love it if there were a few more friendly/neutral options for the modern illustrated characters in Storyline. Specifically, if they could wave (at another character, at the learner, etc.) and have a more friendly "Neutral" expression that's somewhere between irritated and full-on smiling (I'm looking at you, Camila). With the options we currently have, I sometimes find it difficult to have their poses and expressions match their words.Multilingual player for Storyline
Hello, We need a multilingual player for Storyline. Background: In the company, we create multilingual modules. Unfortunately, in Storyline, you can only specify one language per file in the player. To create multilingual courses in Storyline, we restrict the player as much as possible and store the desired languages for all messages. The content structure is confusing for multilingual courses and must be deactivated. Sometimes it is not desirable to create two separate courses. The idea: For multilingual courses in Storyline, it should be possible to select the language for each scene and/or each slide. Example image: Top: Language selection question Left: German with German player Right: English with English player How do others see this? Do you also have a similar problem? Have a nice day.
