I am experiencing incredibly poor (virtually useless) results due to compression of animated gifs. As you can see from the examples, I have provided the original file and the post-publish A360 compressed versions.
Any suggestions on how to get around this problem that seems to have been around for five years or so?
1) Instead of using an animated gif, save the animation as an MP4 video. That alone will resolve the image quality issue. Of course, since it's now a video, you can select No Compression to help ensure the quality remains intact.
2) With the help of Articulate Support, I found out that using the Classic Player vs. the Modern Player will also help. Apparently the Classic Player doesn't compress images.
I compared the two options above and I would recommend option 1, convert to MP4s.
I have submitted a feature request to allow users to select No Compression on images as well. I think this would solve everyone's problems with poor image quality in Articulate SL360.
