    Hi josephf54597421,

    Please follow the below steps in order to open a .gif file:

    • File -> import-> video to layers.

    • In the dialogue box type "*.*" to show all file types.

    • Select your GIF file and which frames to import.

    • They will now be available in your animation palette.

    Regards

    Sarika
