Hi!
I am wishing to find a way to use Articulate to create GIFs that can then be embedded into various elearning trainings as well as in targeted emails to draw attention to important details.
Is there currently a way to do this? If not, is there a way to utilize screen capture within Articulate and change the file to an mP4?
Hi Sarra,
Matthew is right that you can use SnagIt to create GIFs. Here's an article that shows you how you can create GIF-like animations using Storyline 360.
I hope that helps!
Hi all, you can also use MS PowerPoint to create GIFs. Then import in SL as any normal media.
Thanks to tell me that. I am also searching for how can I create GIFs in MS PowerPoint.
And with some special tricks you can use animated SVG in Storyline too :-)
You can create animated gifs using Adobe Photoshop. There's a quick guide here: https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/photoshop/how-to/make-animated-gif.html
Hi SARA,
How to created animated video, using Canva ?
Yes, you can use Articulate to create GIFs for embedding into elearning trainings and targeted emails. While Articulate itself doesn't have built-in GIF creation capabilities, you can use third-party screen recording or GIF creation tools to capture your Articulate content as a video or GIF.
I think to capture a specific process or animation, you can use screen recording software. There are several screen recording tools available, including Snagit, Camtasia, OBS Studio, or even the built-in screen recording capabilities of your operating system.
To export content as MP4, you can publish your Articulate project as a video file. You can then embed these GIFs or MP4 videos in emails using various email marketing platforms or email service providers.
If the animation is relatively short you can easily use states / motion paths / triggers in Articulate SL . Below is a link to a great example of using states, by Jonathan Hill there is a download file so you can check out the backend. There are also a number of great tutorials and examples of using Motion Paths for animation. Check out youtube as well David Anderson has some great examples there.
