Question

Export as Animated Gif with infinite play loop

Hello,

 

I have been trying to export a video clip as a GIF that will automatically loop when opened with a web browser or uploaded to social media or Youtube. I can't seem to get the loop part of the GIF to work, and I can't find a check box or something that will enable that as an option. I have resorted to just exporting my short video clips as regular video, then uploading to a 3rd party GIF creator online. 

 

Is there a way to create looping GIFs straight out of Premiere? If not, I feel like this should just be a checkbox setting (loop or not loop).

 

Thank you for your help.

    I started having this same problem too with Premiere 2024. The 1st GIF I exported worked fine. But then I decided I wanted to change the aspect ratio, so I did, and the next GIF I exported, it won't loop in either Windows Explorer or Chrome. So weird! If someone wants to try it for theirself, the square one attached loops but the rectangle one doesn't.

      You're right the square loops. I'm also looking to loop export GIF.

      All GIFs should loop by default. Try uploading it to giphy and see if it works. It could just be where you're previewing it that it won't loop.

      I thought so, too, but I have not been able to get my Premiere GIFs to loop and I have opened them in several different apps. Giphy has been one of my workarounds. I've exported GIFs from Premiere, upload them to giphy, then download or share from there and that gets the loop working. Thanks for replying.

      You can export it as an mp4 or mov and convert it to a gif with a converter: https://cloudconvert.com/mp4-to-gif


      That's the sort of thing I have been doing. I'd like to be able to just export as a looping GIF straight from Premiere if possible (to save a step). Have you been successful exporting looping GIFs from Premiere? I was just wondering if I am missing something. Thanks again...
