displaying .gif in image-keyboard-response

[nrschoen]

Hi,

I am making an experiment with small animations in gif format and it worked fine a couple days ago. However, now it shows the gif as a static gif. I already tried preloading and also not using a timeline variable but directly putting the image path into the stimulus field. Here is my code:

Thanks in advance!

Best,
Neil

Hi Neil,

This is probably because of a change to our image-keyboard-response plugin in jsPsych 6.2/6.3. Try setting render_on_canvas: false in the parameters of that trial.

Thank you very much. Perfect as always!

Great! @becky-gilbert we should probably note that animated .gifs aren't compatible with canvas rendering in the docs of the image-* plugins at some point.

Ugh, sorry about this @nrschoen. I totally forgot about animated gifs when we added the canvas rendering option ☹️Glad this was an easy fix!
@jodeleeuw I'll add this to the image-* plugin docs for v6.3.1.
