Inserting GIF files into Storyline

David,

I just inserted both static and animated .gifs and they seemed to work okay.  Have you tested on your end?

Hi Mike,

I have looked for the Insert GIF option in Storyline Insert menu but can not find in on the tool bar.

I tried inserting a PPT slide with a GIF on it but it doesn't run in preview or published.

Can you direct me on how to insert a GIF correctly?

David,

Same process as inserting a picture.  

Click the Insert Tab.

Select Picture.

Navigate to your .gif.

You should also see it labeled as an acceptable picture option if you click the dropdown menu.

Thanks Mike,

I've follwoed your direcctions. They are animated GIFs but the animations don't run.

It's just looking like a regular picture/jpg.

Any suggestions?

You probably need to look for a GIF to SWF converter.  Animated GIFs are not supported in Storyline.

Hmmm....nothing off the top of my head.  Could you post one for me to take a look at?  (If it's proprietary, you can PM me with a dropbox link).

Mike

Gerry,

I'm actually seeing the animated .gifs run okay.  Give the attached a whirl.

I'm wondering if there are different .gif standards that may be impacting things?

Mike

Hee Hee.  Gerry...I can't resist. Especially since it's Friday.

Hi David - this might be a dumb question but have you tried to preview your presentation?
