Can you import animated gifs into Rise?

I am wondering the same thing. I currently have not found a way to do this. 

Hi there,

Absolutely you can! You can add a GIF anywhere you can add an image--Labeled Graphic, Image centered block, and Image full-width block to name a few!

For some inspiration, Richard Hill uses GIFs in this example to give learners an inside look at the human heart. And check out this article for more information on best practices with images, videos and audio in Rise courses.

Hi  I have added a GIF image as the image with text block and the GIF doesn't play in preview mode. Do I need to publish it to check?

thanks

Anni

I have a 30 second long gif which loops but the whole gif isn't playing rise, it runs for just under 20 sec then jumps back to the beginning again. 

Hi Nisha! Happy to help.

What web browser are you using to test the Rise course? Also, could you share the GIF file with our team here?

Hi Alyssa 

Great, I have uploaded the GIF in the link you sent above. Have just tested this in Chrome. The framerate of the GIF is 25fps, I wasn't sure what framerate is suitable for Rise courses?

Thanks, Nisha! And thanks for sticking with us as Robert sorts through this in your case. I'll follow along there, as well!

Hi Karl,

Are you running into trouble with this image file? It appears to not have any animation on it when I download it, and that holds true in Rise when I add it to an image block. 

Let me know where you need help! 

Hi Ashley,

Thanks for coming back to me - have sorted this now and all is good.  It is going to make my RISE documents a whole lot better.

Awesome news, Karl and so happy to hear it. If you need anything else, you know where to find us. 😉
