how can I import the gif format image?

I've tried to import a gif image into C2, but there are not any dynamic effects showing up ... Why?

You need to import frames rather than the full image.

At the bottom of the animation editor the animation frames are laid out. Right-click an empty space and click on Import Frames.

Thanks a lot, I know import frames must work, but are you sure that can't import the full gif image in C2? [:P]

Well you can; doing it this way is how it's done. It's just that you can't import the full frames of a GIF by clicking the "Load an image from a file" button as that seems to only import single frames.

I have no idea why it's done this way - seems a little unobvious to me - but that just seems to be how it goes.

thanks for replying me so patiently GeometriX [:P]

You can drag and drop a .gif straight from Windows in to the layout and it should create a sprite with the gif animation as frames. To be honest though, GIF is an old 90s format and you should avoid using it! PNG is much better.

Thank you so much Ashley, it actually work!
