Hi

I am having a problem on wordpress trying to get a GIF file to operate correctly.

Any Ideas?

re upload the gif and use its original size.. not thumbnail, not medium, not large but its original size.. cause what happens when you dont use the original size, it will crop the gif image and it will be just a regular image..

hope that helps!

There is a complete manual in wordpress that tells you how to do it.

If you want to scale an animated gif use Postimage.org — free image hosting / image upload (if you can convert to one of their sizes)

If you know how to use ffmpeg in a terminal ...

barry@p___:~/system/ffmpeg/resize-$ ffmpeg -i f2.gif -vf scale=w=-1:h=96 outfile2.gif

Scales perfect with the height dimension set

When you upload the gif to wordpress site, you have to make it show full size, then the animation will work.
