Inserting GIF files into Storyline
Hello!
I am working on an eLearning projext that requires a lot of GIF files from the client to be integrated into the learning.
While searching the forums I found several posts where people got help in making GIF files work and a few saying that GIF files need to be converted to SWF files.
Which is correct?
Can I insert a GIF file into Storyline? If so How?
If not - how can I convert the GIF to SWF?
Thanks

Hi Megan,
Our team doesn't have Photoshop, so we can't offer additional support for that set up of Photoshop. I see that Lea shared some other forum threads so I also wanted to share them with you here:

https://community.articulate.com/discussions/building-better-courses/animated-avatarsThanks Ashley. I will look at those resources.
Still curious if anyone ever had success with a photoshop created gif. If so, please share what you did.
Hey Deidre - Thanks for letting us know that this worked well for you :) Good luck with the rest of your project.

Hi Mayuree,
Could you share the GIF file with us?
Also, are you importing the GIF file in, or the Powerpoint with the GIF file?
I recorded a gif using the video recording feature in Snag-It, then inserted it as a video.
Thanks for sharing your workaround with us, Christina!
When I try to add mine, it says the file type isn't supported. Clearly, I'm missing something here!
The message is that "xxxx.gif" does not appear to be a support format. It has the .gif extension so I'm confused.
Bummer.
Hi Jill!
Are you using Insert >> Picture >> Picture from file to add a GIF to your slide? If so, what version of Storyline are you using?
Yes, I am (which I learned from this post). AND, I'm on 360.
Hey Jill,
Would you be able to share the .gif so that we could take a look?
