Quick question - has anyone been able to export a simple slide animation from PowerPoint (saving it as a GIF) and importing into SL? I can import the GIF and it plays as expected in Rise, but doesn't animate in SL 360. I know I can use other tools to do this but since it's working for Rise, wanted to know if there is some limitation in SL I'm not aware of in interpreting PPT generated GIF files. I tried the 24fps and the 15fps export options from PPT but neither works in SL.
Along with Matthew's tips, you can also share your gif with our support team to take a closer look. They'll be able to test it and provide additional insight as to why it's not animating.
Thanks Matt. The idea is to leverage PPT's export to gif feature so that you don't have to go to video and/or then convert to a gif. Given that the PPT generated gif works in Rise and plays back in Windows as expected, it seems this is SL specific. I'll send in a sample for the support team to look at.
I've submitted a case. It looks like only the small and medium export to gif options play back in SL, anything higher won't play. All sizes play in Rise as expected.

Thanks, Stephanie. I can see that Hazel is already taking a look and you should be hearing from her soon.
