Trying to cut out gif into a specific shape.

Question

Hello fellow PhotoShoppers.I am relatively new to photoshop, I have to basics down, but I am having difficulty with cutting out a specific shape of a gif to then insert it into a still image, I will attach the gif, and I will attach the image.I dont want to just paste it into the middle of it, I want the still image I have chosen to be perfectly filled with the added gif so it looks like a movie is playing in the mirror, so to speak.Is there a way to do this?The elliptical tool is pretty straight forward, I can insert it into any oval/circle image, but if I were to have a different shaped mirror, and arched one so to speak, could this be done? Thank you.

Open the animated GIF.

Open the mirror image, turning the Background into a Layer.

Use a Layer Mask to cut out the mirror.

Adjust the Canvase size of the animated GIF to acocmodate the mirror image.

Duplicate the mirror layer from the mirror document to the animated GIF document, making sure it's stacked as the front most layer.

Transform the scale of the mirror layer for a better fit.

Save the resulting files as PSDs.

Use Save for Web (Legacy) to export a new animated GIF.

I just noticed that the mirror image has a copyright. This image has been cleared for use, correct?

Do you happen to know if the young women who fell is okay?
