Gif file doesn't work

Keynote is ok to export animated gif file to my desktop, but this gif file is not animated and only many image sequences. I don't know why, can anybody help me with this issue?

Those pesky animated GIFs (and PNGs) will play in a Quick Look window, or by pressing ⌘+4 in an open Finder window, they will also play when selected in the Gallery view.

Animated Gif files only play in certain applications , they won't play in a finder window or from the desktop.

To test the GIF file, add the GIF to a Keynote slide and play the presentation.
