Animation Painters Woes with Emphasis Animations

May 15, 2024

I thought I remembered being able to paint emphasis animations with the Animation Painter. But as shown by the attached Storyline file. It is not working now.

Slide 1: Top row of shapes, bottom row of buttons

Slide :  A pulse emphasis animation added to the first shape and first button

Slide 3: with the first shape or button selected, the Animation painter is double-clicked, then the remaining shapes/buttons are clicked. Although stars appear to the upper left of the shapes/buttons on which I tried to paste the animation, triggers are not created, and the animation does not work on the objects to which it has been painted.

 

Is this correct operation, or is something not working here?

Hi John,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

I replicated the behavior in Storyline 360 going back to Update 84 when emphasis animations were first released. I've filed this as a possible bug with our product team and added this ELH post to the report. We'll let you know when we have any new updates to share, and we apologize for the inconvenience this bug may have caused.
