Hello Bjorn,

This gif file has a width of 992px and if the object which containes it is less width then the image ist reduced and converted in PNG file with the first frame.

As example if in the template you set the width to 992px and the margins of the content to 0 and in in the image object in the style section inner and outer margin to 0 then it works.

To show it all you need to increase the width of the template more than 992px to have anough space to show the gif file completely. If the image needs to be shown smaller then it needs to be created the gif file smaller.

The program has no function to reduce the gif files to keep the animations but if they are reduced it will be used only the first frame like it happened also in the previous versions.

Many thanks!

Hello Bjorn,

In my case the GIF animation was converted to a static GIF picture with the first frame of the animation. A workaround that worked fine for me: simply overwrite the new (static) GIF in your /Preview/Images folder with your original (animated) GIF file keepen the new file name. I hope this is of help.

All the best,

Silly
