Animated GIF Issues
Hi everyone, I am looking to do a workaround on a transparent background, so I am using an animated GIF and adding its dialogue to the slide. I am trying to sync an animated GIF to audio.
On its first try it goes well, but if I need to repeat the layer , the animated GIF is out of sync with the audio. The slide is supposed to reset every time it is visited, but the Animated GIF is still out of sync on the second and beyond plays. Can anyone help how to resolve this?
Also when will Articulate add functionality for Transparent Video?

That would be convenient. My limited experience with animated GIF files was that replay timing is a persistant issue. Part of it could result from the extra time it takes to load the clip the first time versus later replays. If the audio is synced to the first load, it may not match later replays, which may start slightly sooner.
If you're up for it, you can also look at this post which shows how to swap out regular video clips with their transparent counterparts.
