The main steps in this video

  1. Create a New Blank Slide:
    • Add a new blank slide to the project.
    • Name the slide appropriately (e.g., “Bodysuit”).
  2. Add Instructions to a Text Box:
    • Create a text box at the top of the slide.
    • Add basic instructions that will make sense in the context of the 3D object to be embedded.
  3. Embed a 3D Object:
    • Find a suitable 3D object on Sketchfab.com. We use a futuristic avatar as an example.
    • Click on ‘Embed’ on the Sketchfab website and enable ‘Fixed Size’ for better embedding in Storyline.
    • Copy the embed code provided by Sketchfab.
  4. Insert the 3D Object in Storyline:
    • In Storyline, go to ‘Insert’ > ‘Video’ > ‘Video from Website’.
    • Paste the copied embed code and click ‘OK’.
    • Resize the embedded object to fit the slide as needed.
  5. Publish the Slide to View the 3D Object:
    • Publish the slide to view the 3D object correctly, as it cannot be previewed in the same way as a regular video.
  6. Add a Music Track:
    • Find and download a suitable music track from a website like Free Music Archive.
    • Choose a genre and track that fits the theme of the slide (e.g., electronic, vaporwave).
    • Check the license terms before using the music in your project.
  7. Import the Music Track into Storyline:
    • Go to ‘Insert’ > ‘Audio’ > ‘Audio from File’ in Storyline.
    • Import the downloaded music track, which appears as an audio file in the timeline.
  8. Publish the Slide with Music:
    • Publish the slide to preview it with the music track
