I have a requirement to import a large image into Storyline 360. It needs to a PNG file as transparency is required.
It is a train that I want to enter from the left and then exit the slide to the right. It creates a nice effect of the carriages sliding by.
I have created this to the correct dimensions but when I import it the image fits to the slide. Thus when I enlarge it to the correct size, it becomes pixelated.
This seems exasperated due to the fact that SVG graphics are not supported. Is there a way of importing that stops the natural fit and image compression occuring.
Unfortunately I cannot do that as I work on a Mac and although I have PPT / Office 365 on the Mac it doesn't also work in a windows environment that I run using Parallels.
It means subscribing to a higher Windows 365 package. Something I am not prepared to do on the off chance it will work - as you too have discovered.
It's a little dissapointing the lack of Mac software / lack of SVG support, that I know many people having been raising for quite a few years.
I guess I'll have to use an animation package and animate the whole slide to be exported as a movie clip. Thank you again for your time, much appreciated as I thought I might be missing something.
If you're following along and looking for sharp images, I've got great news for you! We just released another update for Articulate 360 and included a few important fixes you'll see in the release notes.

image size is limited to 2048 pixels high or wide.
You could try importing the SVG through PPT but I find this works only sometimes.
You cannot change the resize behaviour but can check the size and set to 100% on import
Thanks Phil.
