Hello all,
Had a quick question, would it be possible to have an animated .gif playback in jitter? iv been looking into using some old gifs that i have in a project but the best that i can get jitter to do is dispay the first frame. any ideas?

Thanks

Not sure about jitter, but the jweb object will display an animated .gif from within a web page...

Pretty old question here I know, but wanted to help anyone else who is trying to figure this out.

You basically need a metro and a jit.movie using the qt engine, like so:

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

The qt engine will load the gif, and the metro object will advance the frames (but not control frame rate, as far as I could tell).

no need to use the deprecated qt engine. the viddll engine (jit.movie @engine viddll) will also playback gif files on both mac and win, 32 and 64.
