Really good tips! A lot of things I hadn’t thought about (user not knowing to scroll, changing text font for directions to stand out from info, duration of video in text below video, etc.) so many great things to consider! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for sharing - the open and honest way the Belvista Team shares information and explains the tools of the trade, actually helped me take the step into the world of ID - so thank you. It also made me smile as you are up in Brissy and I am on the Gold Coast - home grown heroes!
AMAZING! Thanks for sharing its impact and for choosing to learn with us. So stoked it's helped on your journey. Super stoked you're getting value from us being us. Aussi, Aussi, Aussi! Haha
Appreciate all the work you put into this. Have used Canva but didn't know about the cinemagraphs. Great for grabbing attention. I would stay away from attaching navigation meaning to colors, and that makes the learning not accessible to all.
Lots of great inspiration! I can't wait to try some of this out. Just one caveat: using embedded text in images (flash cards) or gifs will put up more hurdles for learners with vision impairments, and makes translating the course harder.
@@BelvistaStudios We have recently started creating 2 courses - One very basic (mostly only text and few still images) for those with visual impairments. It is a little extra work, but doesn't take too long to copy and paste the text into basic course.
Hi, great video and some great tips. I have just been playing at creating my own divider, but it looks huge still (just like an image). I made in on PP as don't have Illustrator. How did you get the pic to be narrow enough to look like a divider? Thank you.
I am just getting started and love your videos. Do you have a video to help newbies know what size to make images for various places/blocks in rise 360. I have searched and can’t find this info.
Eep! Ditto. We've never been able to find specific dimensions online as Rise is responsive so there is no real "right" size. We tend to use 2500x1406px for our full width images.
Awesome video! How do you go about getting your gif of the guy to sit right on the orange divider line? It sits perfectly on there! He's also really small. Did it take more altering in another program to edit it?
@@BelvistaStudios Thanks that's awesome! I was wondering because doesn't seem like Vyond does well with that. Do you just upload it into Rise as a Full Width image like normal too right?
What program did you use to loop the gifs every 30 secs? I use Powtoon (continuously only) and Camtasia (can chose loops but not timing) so can't do this on either of them. Thank you.
For the Dot Points (8m16s) accordion segment, how did you get lists for "the good" and "the bad" to auto-play? Was there a special way you published or designed this in Vyond?
Tips on image parameters: We're finding 1920px x 1080px is working best so far. If your images look nice and crisp when downloaded but look blurry when uploaded to Rise, try adding '_NOPROCESS_' at the beginning or end of the image file name. This stops Rise from compressing the image. Note that this may increase the file size and it also may not work for labelled graphics (labelled graphics must be at least 760px wide so Rise will automatically make them bigger if needed). Basically, go as big as possible on the image your exporting, not exporting at the size you would like it to show at.
@@BelvistaStudios thank you, that's so helpful. I create my gifs in Vyond. I have one more question if you dont mind - how did you create the scenario in the rise course with the image and the quiz questions underneath? Was it a storyline import?
What is the best size for the Canva Gifs. I find I am downloading and must of the image is being cut off. Do you have a recommendation or is it just trial and error?
This is great! How are you able to import the Vyond GIF with a white background? I tried doing it and it's importing in Rise as off-white; almost a light gray. Any ideas?
Thanks for choosing to learn with us. Ooohh, you know what? It could be your screen that's displaying it that way (if the gif background is white and the Rise background is white. i.e. the same hex colours). Try publishing it and reviewing it on a different device to see if that is the case as a first step. 💙💜
These are great tips! I just started watching your videos and they are quite inspiring. I have tinkered with Vyond to get my gif the right size, position, etc. but the gif is super blurry, even with the highest pixel setting. Any ideas? Thank you!
Our pleasure. Thanks for choosing to learn with us. Hmmm.. we learnt something recently but haven't had a chance to experiment yet. Put '_NOPROCESS_' in the file name of your gif. Quantity it won't try to resize it then (assuming you have it large already, like 1024 in width at least).💙💜
@@BelvistaStudios an expandable dropdown arrow titled: "image description" that expands and describes the image might be ok (below the image) . That being said articulate rise is just so limited there aren't much options and adding gfis that give out actual learning information is more of a hack that aims to give you or replace something that is missing from the core featrues of rise. Obviously having gifs to showcase valualble information or even navigation should be a no go in any learning solution out there but that is what we are reduced to in rise. Not any designer/users fault, we do the best with what we have.

Cinemagraphs!!! New to me. Thanks for the video
Wow, absolutely excellent video. I was looking for a video for ideas for Advanced Rise Techniques and you provided so many good examples and options.
AMAZING! Thanks so much for sharing what you appreciated. Thanks also for choosing to learn with us. xox
Great video, love to see examples - thanks!
Thanks. We appreciate your kind words.

Have you tried cropping it at the top and bottom in Rise after you've imported it as a full width image?

Hi, how would one go about inserting cinemagraphs into Rise? Do we just import short video clips from Canva? TIA.
Export them as a gif and upload them as a gif into Rise. 💙💜
Awesome video! How do you go about getting your gif of the guy to sit right on the orange divider line? It sits perfectly on there! He's also really small. Did it take more altering in another program to edit it?
😊 Created in Canva and exported as a .png. When you create it as needed in there, you can get it to work better in Rise.
@@BelvistaStudios Thanks that's awesome! I was wondering because doesn't seem like Vyond does well with that. Do you just upload it into Rise as a Full Width image like normal too right?
We may give more of the specifics in this video and yes, your right about the full width image from memory.

@@BelvistaStudios Awesome I'll check out the other video too! Thank you!
What program did you use to loop the gifs every 30 secs? I use Powtoon (continuously only) and Camtasia (can chose loops but not timing) so can't do this on either of them. Thank you.
From memory, they were done in Vyond. Sometimes we stretch the timeline before exporting the GIF so it stays on longer or loops look delayed.
@@BelvistaStudios Ah thank you. You can't do that in Powtoon. It will only allow a 6 second gif (bit rubbish).
For the Dot Points (8m16s) accordion segment, how did you get lists for "the good" and "the bad" to auto-play? Was there a special way you published or designed this in Vyond?
These are GIFs. We created them in Canva and uploaded the GID to Rise. :)
Hi how are you able to export your gif at such high quality from vend? Mine seems to look pixelated when imported

@@neiljones2739 Yay, glad it helped. 😊 That's all the functionality of the Rise knowledge block (I believe it's called that from memory).
@@mttromi thank you! thats so helpful.. love this video by the way. cheers!
Love this, thanks so much for sharing. What do you do about accessibility with the GIF's do you add all the text to the image description?
Yep! Key words to get the message across.

Nice thinking. Alt text is also a good option. @@boyananakiev4896
