Turn off marker pulse animation in Rise

I love the marker feature in Rise, but I would like to turn off the pulse animation, like you can in Storyline. I can't find where to do it. Is it possible in Rise?  Thanks.

I was just looking into this issue and came here for clarification. As I understand it, using the pulse animation on markers would cause an eLearn course to fail a WCAG accessibility check. (See https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/pause-stop-hide.html.) Sounds like others in this thread agree. One potential fix: If there were an option to set the duration of the blinking to five seconds or less, this animation could be used in compliance with WCAG guidelines.

    Correction: In the Labeled Graphic block in Rise, the marker animation stops when a marker is selected. Since the user is able to stop the animation, I believe it is compliant under the WCAG guideline cited above. 

    In Storyline, however, the animation does not stop when a marker is selected. So, I think using marker animations in Storyline would not meet WCAG accessibility requirements. For that reason, I always set the animation to "None" when using markers in Storyline. 

    Hope this helps.
