Animated GIF--Loop Just Once?
I created an animated GIF in Adobe Fireworks. It's a gauge with a needle that moves from the 6 o'clock position to the 12 o'clock position, using 16 frames ('states' in Fireworks parlance). I set t...
Hi, everyone!
I have some great news to share. We just released an update for Storyline 360. In Build 3.90.32850.0, we’ve included important fixes and new features. One of the bugs we’ve fixed is:
- GIFs didn't replay on revisited slides that were configured to reset to their initial states
Launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer to take advantage of this update, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You’ll find our step-by-step instructions here!
If you have an Apple Mac, there's a free and easy (this is an Apple product after all) way to convert animated GIFs or any other animation for that matter (i.e., Flash) into an MPEG4 video clip.
Step One: Launch QuickTime Player, which is part of Mac OS X on every Mac.
Step Two: Choose File > New Screen Recording; a new window appears along with instructions for doing full-screen or partial-screen recording.
Step Three: Drag a rectangle around the animated GIF, then click Start Recording.
Step Four: Click the Stop button in the upper right side of the menu bar when you're done.
Step Five: Save the file. After saving it, you can change the file extension from .mov to .mp4 if you wish. (The file will work just fine; it's an MPEG4 video using the H.264 codec, and will work on Macs, PCs and iPhone/iPad devices.)
