Creating GIFs
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?
What are the pros and cons of using MP4 files versus GIFs for eLearning content? Are there any third-party tools that can be used to create GIFs from Articulate content?
Canva gives you the option to download a GIF. I use it regularly and pretty simple to do with Canva.
Beth - I was looking into this today - I think the licensing terms for Canva state you can't export standalone items from Canva to be used elsewhere. It's a shame because they have some lovely GIFs!
Are you talking about the free version rights? Because it may be different for paid version.
What I am seeing - "Customer Material. Customer represents and warrants to Canva that Customer owns all rights, title, and interest in and to the Customer Materials or that Customer has otherwise secured all necessary rights in Customer Material as may be necessary to permit the access, use, and distribution thereof as contemplated by this Agreement.As between Canva and Customer, Customer owns all right, title, and interest in and to Customer Material. Customer hereby grants Canva, for the duration of the Subscription Term, a royalty-free license to display, host, copy, and use Customer Material solely to the extent necessary to provide the Service"
We have the pro version so I don't think this is true if you are on the Pro version. Also if I didn't have a license with Canva for work, I would pay for my own Pro version because it's the best and lowers my design time versus doing design in Adobe.
Right now, along with the Nvidia graphics card driver, there's built-in software for screen video capture. I save the video and then convert it to GIF using free online converters.
