Hello, when insert Animated gif in Libreoffice Impress, it appear in blank and white, animated gif no working in Libreoffice Impress.
Hi @kabbalah,
Per LO’s Online Help (see Question here), Animated GIFs should work in LibreOffice.
If installing/running the latest release doesn’t seem to fix this problem, please file a bug and provide a list of steps that can reproduce your problem. The QA team will be happy to help you track down this issue!
Please post a link to any bugs you file in a comment below using the format “fdo#123456”.
Thanks!
Ok, thank, for me is impossible provide a list of steps that can reproduce my problem with animated gif in libreoffice Impress.
Only have to say it:
- Clikc Insertar
- Click Imagen - A partir de Archivo
- Se abre caja de dialogo, busco la imagen, la selecciono y click en open.
Then, the gif animated appear in Black and white in a form of blink.
Note: I have installed “Versión 4.0.1.2 (ID de compilación: 4.0.1.2 Arch Linux build-1)” in a Netbook lenovo Ideapad S10.
If, click Presentation, the gif animated equally appear in Black and white in a form of blink.
Definitely it no working.
@kabbalah – Those sound like great repro steps to me! 
Is it possible that it’s just this one GIF file? (could still be a bug in how LO handles the file!) Could you try a couple of different GIF files to see if they all fail in the same way?
Historically, gif were never a well supported format in Free Software due to patent terms, in my experience.
Tried six gif animated and all fail in the same way.
@kabbalah – If 6 GIFs are failing for you, then I think it’s definitely time to file a bug.
Thank you for your dedication to testing!
I also met this problem. I tried different steps and discovered the following: animated gif works fine if the subsequent frame is put on the previous one and not replaces it.
