Will Facer ever allow animated GIF’s??

Yeah up to 25 Frames . You can sequence Gifs one after the other if you use Wake Trigger . I always chose 24 frames so the Time is even .
Get back if you are not sure . To can drop your frames into the Sequence Layer or import a Gif .
Many use Ezgif to edit them . It is a favourite Topiuuu<c here you will get loads of help .

As Russell said: it is allowed up to 25 frames. Also try to resize gif, maybe up to 1Mb,
even better up to 500 Kb.

Also try and make the first and last frame the same - it makes for a smoother animation if its on a loop.

I find a way of extending a Gif and making it smooth by duplicating it and reversing the sequence .
This one is a bit clunky slow but good at two seconds .

I’ve got inspection turned on for this one in case it might be of use to you.
Animation triggers when the face switches to active from dim.
In Watch Face Studio i could use an animated GIF and activate it with a screen tap. I had to take the GIF and edit out frames down to 25 and then settle for triggering the action on wake for Facer Creator. Still satisfying, just took some more work.

If you have an animgif it will split the frames automatically on import I believe, if there are few enough to fit.
I d do like to see nice, simple examples of work though. Nice one.
Simple once you have the images. For this I took a .stl file for the D12 and rotated it by hand in the 3D viewer on whatever site I ended up using to render it. Noticed a few frames had cursor arrows showing off at the edge which I cleaned up. The original on my Galaxy 7 probably still has them and I never noticed because I just dropped the animated GIF into WFS and Robert is your father’s brother.
