Gifs look horrible, why? Oct 20, 2020 By Jeni Johnson These gifs look fine when played outside of Storyline. They were made using a high-resolution monitor and Snagit. When added to an SL slide the quality is absolutely terrible. It is set at 100% and I published for high quality.

I imagine that in your case, you have reduced the dimensions of the GIF a little so that it fits into the slide. If this is possible for you, you could use a video instead of the GIF, the quality would be better. I hope this has been helpful to you. Let me know if you want more details. Have a nice day.
