There is actually a semi-cheaty way to accomplish this that may work for you. You will need two questions one the same page. The first should just be a display question that shows your GIF. The second should be the question used to rate it.
In the JS for the first question, you should place:
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function()
{
var questionDiv = this.getQuestionContainer();
var giflength = 1000/*length in miliseconds*/;
setTimeout(function(){questionDiv.style.display = “none”;}, giflength);
});
This will make the GIF disappear after playing, feel free not to use this if you would like it to continue playing!
In the JS for the rating question place:
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function()
{
var questionDiv = this.getQuestionContainer();
var giflength = 1000/*length in miliseconds*/;
questionDiv.style.display = “none”;
setTimeout(function(){questionDiv.style.display = “block”;}, giflength);
});
This will immediately hide the question until the set time has passed, and set it to reappear after that timeframe.
