Using animations to boost visual engagement in your projects has never been easier. Simply chat with AI Assistant in Storyline 360 to describe the built-in entrance, exit, and emphasis animations or motion paths you want. You can preview the results instantly and refine your animations through a simple, conversational workflow.

To get started, open the AI Assistant tab on the right side of the screen and use the chat box at the bottom to enter your prompts. You can even animate multiple objects at once on the same slide. Need inspiration? Ask AI Assistant for ideas.

Request Built-In Animations

AI Assistant uses JavaScript animations by default. To use built-in Storyline animations instead, include keywords such as “built-in animations,” “native animations,” “Storyline animations,” or “SL animations” in your prompt.

To switch back to JavaScript animations, include “JavaScript animations” or “JS animations” in your next prompt.

For emphasis animations and motion paths, AI Assistant automatically generates the required triggers.

Refine and Preview Animations

Keep iterating by asking AI Assistant to adjust timing and sequence, including animating text boxes by paragraph, with a simple request. You can also ask AI Assistant to change duration and direction for motion paths, or remove animations as needed.

While AI Assistant can apply simple motion paths to multiple objects at once, it doesn’t account for the objects’ size and position. This means you might need to make manual adjustments.

AI Assistant’s response displays the number of animations created and which animations were applied to which objects. Click the chevron for each item to reveal or hide its details. If more than 10 items are listed, a Show more link appears at the bottom. Click that link to expand the list. To minimize the list, click Show less. When you’re ready to see the results, click Play to preview the animation on the timeline.
