Question

Hello, I am new to Captivate. I need to commission a freelancer to create an animation for me. It is just an object floating in space that rotates. There is no interactivity - the student has no control over the rotation, the angle of view, etc.

What is the best format for animations of this type, given that I want to include them in Captivate slides?

The colors of the animated image are very important.

    No interactivity, no user control, just an animation playing on a slide - say like a spinning globe.

    Use Photoshop or Illustrator to create the object and use Adobe After Effects to animate and Adobe Media Encoder to create and MP4  and place the video file in the Captivate slide.

    Thank you. What size should I specify as the maximum? I'm assuming most users will view the course from a desktop or laptop machine, not a tablet, not a phone.
