Proofing Animated Gifs

Hi, My division is currently training and on-boarding in Workfront & Proof and we've run into the issue where we cannot combine animated .gifs into one proof and retain the animation (shows only first frame to viewer). I've been advised by support to split the files into separate proofs, but this doesn't seem like a feasible long term solution for us. We want to avoid making users click in to multiple proofs to approve/ comment on each project. How are others handling proofing multiple .gif files at once? Erin Warner Penguin Random House

We're in the same boat, but with .mp4s and .movs. We were told that anything beyond a still-frame proof must be uploaded separately since the system can't handle multiple videos or motion graphics in the same proof group. We would love to see an update that allows this since we have MANY on-air promos that should be bundled in a campaign. Sorry we couldn't help, but looking forward to hearing other folks' solutions!

Hi, Ability to review combine video and animated gifs files is on our Roadmap. Currently a possible workaround is to create a very simple webpage with all the content included and review it as an interactive proof https://experience.workfront.com/s/article/Generate-a-proof-for-interactive-content-in-a-ZIP-file-1334908230 Andrzej Muca

@Andrzej Muca - Inactive‚ Is there an update on the ability to combine video and animated GIFs into one proof, while maintaining the animation?
