Hello,

I tried to import a .gif file but i get this error, .gif file is 1.538 kb size. These are the Import settings, honestly I'm not sure of what else to send or do.

I have After Effects CC 2018.

I think there is no way else you convert it to a movie. so you have to use a video converter and drag it in, and then change it to any video format. but if you want to save it as a gif again, you have to export it to media encoder and there change it to gif extension:

and scroll down to set the fps:

I just moved the .mp4 file that I converted (still not working then) to my

documents folder. For some reason, it worked.

Did you just copy the video (and audio) stream from the source or did you convert it into some different codecs?

any solution you got?

Here is what i did.

Locate the media files and rename them. Then you will need to re-link them in premiere. Then you should be able to run dynamic link with no problems.
