Storyline 360 and GIFS (Cartoon Animator/Crazytalk Animator output)
Hi, Brian and Dave!
I have some great news to share. We just released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 76, we’ve included important fixes and new features!
One enhancement we’ve included:
Storyline 360 now supports high-resolution animated GIFs.
To take advantage of this update, launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.
Please let me know if you need additional help!
Hi Brian,
Cool!
You are correct, the version that you pasted into PowerPoint is fully animated. So now we need to get it out of PowerPoint fully intact.
If you select right-click > Save as Picture, PowerPoint does exactly that. It exports the currently displayed frame of the gif as a picture. It does save it as a gif, since the original was a gif, but you can also save it in a different format.
The good new is it is still pretty easy to get the full animated gif out from power point. As before, select right-click > Save as Picture.
When the save dialogue opens, select the down-arrow next to the Save button.
Then from the selections, select Save Original Picture.
This time, PowerPoint will export the full animated file. If you look at the file size, you will see that it is considerably larger. You should now be able it import this into Storyline, and it will play without any problem.
