Q: How do I get animated gifs to work in FCPX?

Hi

How do I get animated gifs to work in FCPX?

They work in FCP7 (FCS) but not FCPX. Strange.

    If you had FCP7, you have Quicktime 7 Pro (automatically upgraded when you installed FCP7). Check your Applications > Utilities folder.

     

    Open the gif in QT7 and Export as... (Movie to Quicktime Movie > open Options)... might as well go with ProRes LT and make sure you pay attention to the Size option (select current if the original is at 100%).
