Post by Cobra69ers »

I was wondering if you can post Gifs? I tried posting through videos and kept getting errors, then I tried through images and it just posted a still from the Gif

well you certainly can NOT post a gif through post videos :)


It should work through images. Were you doing at pre-processing? Resizing / watermarking anything that would cause the image to be modified?

Watermarking is "probably" the reason. I will test now, but I have a feeling that watermarking does NOT work with gifs. The reason being how gifs are formated (basically multiple images - thus a watermark must be applied to all images - whereas a jpeg is a simple one image conversion)

Watermark does not work with GIFs.

I will add a note to the action tab for next update
