Pulse Effects
I know the markers have them but is there anyway i can get other shapes to 'pulse'?
Hello,
I figured out a way to make any picture/object pulsate. First I set the entrance and exit animations of the object to fade and adjusted the time of the animations (I used 0.5 cause I didn't want it to be too fast or too slow and it works quite well). After that I created 2 triggers - one of them is to change the state of the object to hidden once the entrance animation completes and the second one changes the state to normal when the exit animation completes. It works really well - tested it both on pictures and shapes. :)

Thanks for popping in here to share that tip!
this is amazing Liana, I cannot thank you enough, it looks amazing
That was SUPER helpful! Great idea and very simple. I wanted to turn off the pulsing after a few seconds, so I made a static shape beneath the pulsing one, and set timeline to have pulse from 0-7 seconds, then static from 7 seconds to end.
Hi Iliana,
This is awesome, and exactly what I was looking for - thank you for contributing this solution!
Thank you! This solution worked perfectly.
This has been so helpful, thank you for sharing! I took your concept and expanded it - I wanted the 'glow' effect like you get with the markers so I created another shape just behind the shape I wanted to emphasise and made it a tiny bit bigger. Then I added the animations to this new shape, rather than to the original shape. Then I put it behind the original shape. The result is a pulsing/ glow similar to the markers.
PS: I made the second shape a bright yellow
