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!
From using GIFS within storyline, I have noticed that the quality of the GIF deceases dramatically when publishing. I believe that SL breaks it down in order to make a SWF then re-encodes the GIF, this seems to be where the looping is added back in.
To get around this, once published find the GIFs in the mobile folder and replace them with the original, renaming them to match the output. When doing this make sure that the gif you put into SL is the same size you intend it to be (not tested if it will resize bigger/smaller).
This does seem to fix the issue this thread is looking at, plus others not mentioned. It is a bit of a faf if you have a large ammount of GIFs but it does seem to work.
