Importing GIFs – some animate, some do not
Hey folks – I’m attempting to import some animated sprites from Final Fantasy 6 into After Effects for a project I’m working on. I downloaded GIFs of the sprites from a website (linked below), and all of the GIFs animate just fine when opened in a browser or an app like Photos. However, when I import them into After Effects, only some of them animate.
This one, for example, animates just fine:
http://www.videogamesprites.net/FinalFantasy6/NPCs/Nonhuman/Ultros%20-%20Walk%20(Front).gifThis one only animates the first half of the walking animation:
http://www.videogamesprites.net/FinalFantasy6/NPCs/Other/Duane%20-%20Walk%20(Front).gifAnd this one doesn’t animate at all:
http://www.videogamesprites.net/FinalFantasy6/Party/Celes/Maria%20-%20Sing.gifI’m not sure what the difference is in the files that would cause this. They’re around the same file size, and although some of the files that DO animate have longer durations, that’s not always true across the board.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Mike.
I didn’t try bringing them into AE, but PShop opens them fine and perhaps that might give you some options as well. Two have four frames but the Maria one only has two. So perhaps its an interp issue in AE, but in any case you could just export separate frames.
