Animated PNG (APNG) on Storyline 360
Mar 17, 2023
Yes, storyline 360 can display animated APNG.
The process is the following:
1) I started from a 3d software
2) Export PNG sequence (image1.png, image2.png, image3.png, image4.png.......)
3) Upload all the images on an online service like:
4) Configure as you desire in timing, looping, etc.
5) BUG: If the PNG is not a looping one and is just 1 sequence and stops at the end.
Hiding and showing the object won´t reset its initial state it will stop at the end and keeps that state forever. You need to give a "normal" and "disabled" state (the "disabled" state must be blank without the png). And a trigger somewhere to change from "normal" to "disabled".
Here is my example of a transparent APNG over a basic circle (storyline object):

Hi. I've come across the bug you mention. I have a .apng file set to play once only and it is broken as you describe and now never plays when the file is published. I've created a 'disabled' state with no content in it and tried a few combinations of switching between the normal and disabled states using triggers, but so far have not been able to come up with one that works.
Could you perhaps post a screenshot of your triggers panel showing how you've configured this to make the .apng play every time the slide is visited?
Regards
