Hi

I am new to Captivate and want to animate an image of a pair of lungs as though they are breathing.

I imagine this could be done using 2 images - one which shows the lungs contracted and the other which shows them expanded.

Those of you who are experienced, it this the way that you would tackle this animation?

I would be grateful for your thoughts.

Thankyou

You wouldn't do it in Captivate but in an external program as an animated gif or HTML5 animation and import it in. I've imported anims from Photoshop and Google Web Designer and they work great.

Thankyou for your help

I does not need to be attached to a  user action in Captivate CC. It just needs to run on a single slide in a Captivate presentation which is not a responsive project. Output would be a gif file. I am trying the animation in Photoshop at the current time.


Fine!  Just a warning: in Photoshop be sure to set the frame duration to something else than the default 0 sec or the animated GIF will not play in Captivate.
