Question

Animated logo on Adobe Portfolio website

Hello all, 

I've animated my logo (with no background) and trying to get it on my homepage of one of the portfolio templates adobe supplies. I want to get it to play automatically (wuthout the user clicking the play button). So i exported it as an animated png but nothing displays when i insert it. I'm inserting it as an image rather than a video (so there's no play button and video bar).

Any other ideas what other file types will allow this to be animated on the hompeage? 

- I don't want a background

- I don't want the user to have to click to play it

- I've uploaded it as a transparent png

 

Thanks!

Hi 🙂


So, I'm working with Adobe Portfolio as well and I usually use gifs to show animations that need to be played instantly. Unfortunately gifs with transparent bg look horrible, as you found out as well. Is there a possibility to use tha background color of the website in the animation? At least this is the way I do it.

It would be really great to use Lottie animations within Adobe Portfolio, but it's the same as with behance. Does not work. Maybe there's some tricksy hack to use Lottie together with the embed option, but I have nothing like this seen so far.

Sorry, that I can't help you better, but hopefully somebody else does.

    yeah what i did was just use the animated gif and decreased the size. it doesn't need to be large since it a logo anyways. i think it'll be just fine! 

    Through my google searches, it brought me to https://ezgif.com/. From there, I uploaded the png (that's when i noticed adobe wasn't uploaded it properly and made my post here). then i tried the gif and just made it smaller. it actaully looks pretty good!

    There are severe limitations in the choices of format and the formats themselves, compounded by running things on a pre-hosted service, and a very limited one at that. See how the hurdles pile up? I'm afraid there can be no satisfying answer here. Either you accept things as they are or move on to greener pastures where you actualyl may be able to load up a video background or create native animation with HTML canvas/ SVG. You're realyl looking in the wrong place for fancy extras.
