GIF format is not supported texture format. You can use use a video and make Media Texture for your fan desk. You can also use Paper 2D Flipbook to animate your frames sequence. You also do not have to print screen every frame of your gif file. There are plenty of free, online gif converters which will do it for you automatically.

THX for the help!

The Media Framework is heavy, so I created a plugin to import animated GIF as a new AnimatedTexture asset type. It’s very lightweight, It works similarly to Texture2D. Please check out: GitHub - neil3d/UAnimatedTexture4: Import Animated GIF as a new AnimtedTexture asset type

Thanks so much Neil3D that is awesome

Bro, thank you so much for this plugin!

Now I can move on with my Project to give some more experience to the Users, had to build it on my own but wasn’t that hard to achieve and now I can use it

Thanks a lot, a giant beer for ya! :beers:

And BTW if anyone’s curious I am working on a Music Player to make lives of Music Channels and LIVE Radios easier and GIF support is gonna be an amazing addition! :fire:
