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!
One "trick" that might help is to set the duration of the final frame in the animated GIF to a large number. That way, it is easier to set the duration of the animated GIF in the Storyline timeline to stop/end exactly where and when you want.
Animated GIF frame durations are set in 1/100ths of a second increments. So, you might set it up like this in your animated GIF authoring tool (such as Adobe Fireworks):
frame 1----15/100ths
frame 2----15/100ths
etc.
frame 27----15/100ths
frame 28----500/100ths
In this example, each frame of the animated GIF displays for 15/100ths of a second except for the final frame, which displays for 5 full seconds (500/100=5). Add your animated GIF to the Storyline timeline, then drag its bar to shorten it so that it ends anywhere within the final 5 seconds of the animation (i.e., the final frame of your animated GIF).
Hi... I'm having the same problem you had 3 years ago... I'm doing the .gif with photoshop, the settings are not to loop but it still loops... but I think my problem comes directly from photoshop because it also loops outside storyline...
