- MicheleSchuckCommunity MemberLove it! A beautiful, clean and fun course!
- LucyWood-cf5987Community MemberVery nice - well done, Sarah!
- KatieDowling-5eCommunity MemberSarah this is amazing! Great job!! Do you have site you prefer for the GIF's or did you make your own?
- SarahHodgeFormer StaffThanks so much, Katie! I actually used Storyline to create the gif headers. I edited the images in Photoshop and brought them into Storyline to animate them.
- PCGLearningCommunity MemberHi Sarah,
I really enjoyed the interaction you created! It is very clean and easy to follow :)
I am just wondering how you made the cards with fruits under "Food" section to flip?
Thank you in advance.- SarahHodgeFormer StaffThank you, PCG Learning! I used the Rise Flashcard grid option to create the flip effect. Adam Schwartz gives a sweet overview of the flashcards here: https://360.articulate.com/review/content/c58927ae-4ade-4aac-bf16-f2408486b0c7/review

- LaurieMascaro-7Community MemberHI Sarah -
I know this is an older post, but we're working on a project where we'd like to have an animated image in the cover photo (where you have the dog pushing down the cat). We're having some difficulty figuring out what the size of the animated piece should be. We're creating an animation in SL 360 and converting it to a GIF. No matter what size we try to publish the video to in SL or convert to in the tool, everything is too big. We've even tried making the actual objects on the slide smaller - nothing works.
What was the size of your original animations in SL? What were the settings used in the GIF converter to ensure proper sizing? (We're using EZGIF.com.) The image is also pixelated, which we think is related to size but don't know for sure. Can you share some additional detail about how you created the animated dog/cat in the cover photo?
Thank you!!- SarahHodgeFormer StaffHi Laurie! Sounds like a fun project you're working on! It has been a while since I've worked on this project, so I'll do my best to share as much as I remember. I ended up using a story size of 2047x585 and then using Camtasia to screen record it (Publish to Video wasn't available at the time) using the dimensions 1680x479 and then saved it as a GIF. Generally, cover photos with a 1:3 aspect ratio look best in the Rise 360 cover photo area. For example, you could use an image with these dimensions: 1,000 pixels x 3,000 pixels. It can be a bit tricky adding animations and movement as things shift to make it responsive, so be sure to test it. Hope that helps!
- LeonaGreenlo652Community MemberAs a dog owner, I approve of this course.
- SarahHodgeFormer StaffThank you for the kind words, everyone! :)
- CharlainFondrenCommunity MemberThis is great! Thanks for sharing.
How'd you do the section where you recommend whether or not to go to the groomer? Is it a Storyline block?- SarahHodgeFormer StaffThank you, Charlain! You're exactly right...it is a Storyline block. :)
- CarlaSegurola-5Community MemberThis is fantastic. It's amazing how the animated gifs add so much to making the course feel more engaging and really gives extra life to the topics. Great job!
- SarahHodgeFormer StaffThank you for noticing, Carla! I love gifs and had a ton of fun making these. :)
