Animated Clip Art from PPT

[pennys4]

I inserted an animated clip art from PPT and it is not animated on the flip chart. How do I make it animated on the flip chart?

Is it an animated gif file? If so, have you tried to go to Insert Media, navitage to the file and select it from there?

I did insert the animated gif file and it had no animation on the flip chart. I went properties to select options in multimedia, but the multimedia link was not available.

[LisaD]

Can you post the gif file here and I'll try it out on my end?

I am trying to use animated pics from Microsoft Office clip art in Promethean flip charts. I attached a picture from the Microsoft Office clip art collection.

Well, I was able to insert it but it won't "move around." I did find a couple of other animated birthday cakes and put them in a flipchart.

See attached.

Yes, some animated clip art works and some don't. I am not sure why. The cake file that I was trying to insert is animated in PPT, but not in the flip chart. Please tell me if I am correct if I advise our teachers to go to Office online clip art instead of searching for clip art in Word or PPT.

When viewing the clipart from Word/Powerpoint etc, hover over the item in clipart, click the arrow at the side and choose Copy. Then in ActivInspire, Insert - Media and press <CTRL> and V to paste.
