Creating a video from animated GIFs

This example shows how to include animated GIFs into videos using Video Puppet.

Check out the outcome in result.mp4.

Try it out

Upload the script directory to a Video Puppet project. The main script file is source.md.

Animated GIFs will automatically loop for the duration of the audio - just include them in the script as an image:

![](arena.gif)

You can optionally make the GIF play one loop and stop on the last frame, using the freeze synchronization option in square brackets. For example:

![freeze](arena.gif)

To loop a GIF without any narration, or for longer than the duration of the audio, just include a pause stage direction to the scene.

![](arena.gif)

(pause: 5)

Check out Using Animated GIFs for more information on scene synchronization options.
