Uploading gif into Xlights

[KEVINM1960]

Hi Guys..I am wanting to put this moving image onto my megatree but when I upload into pictures and press play there is no image on my tree preview? My other sequences work ok. What am I doing wrong?

have you set the scaling to to suit the tree, grey box about half way down the picture effect settings.
I have just copied it and can get it to appear but no movement as copied is just Jpeg.
Hope this helps
Cheers Boof63

The reason this happens is because our image library considers the GIF invalid.

Thanks guys for your replies...I got the gif from the Xlights library and have seen it moving on a mega tree on an uploaded video....are you saying this particular gif is in the wrong format or something keithw1111...if so can I change it in any way to make it work?

I don't know how to change it to make it work. I just know the library we use reports it as invalid.

would it work if the format is .mp4 video?

I'm new to xlights and the whole thing but I was messing around in sequencing and added the image so I added a .gif and checked the the box loop and it worked. Some scaling and and all and it fit perfect

I use animated gifs fairly often just by downloading from the internet. As newtolightz said above, looping it and scaling to fit your model (tree, matrix etc) will need to be used no doubt.
