GIFs keep getting messed up when I try to put them in Premiere Pro

There's a video that I'm wanting to make that utilizes GIFs, but every time I import a GIF into the video sequence, it keeps screwing up somehow. The GIFs I'm using have just 3 frames to them, so they're consequentially only about 1 second in duration, and they also have a small resolution. However, when I try to play them in the sequence, it keeps only showing the first 2 frames, the 1st frame dragging for longer than it should, and the framerate of the GIF seems to just be slower in general. There are other GIFs in this sequence that have 5 or 6 frames, and I can tell that they get a little messed up as well, but it's still relatively manageable. The GIFs with the 3 frames, however, turn out much worse, and I don't know how to fix it.

 

I originally tried this in Adobe Premiere Pro 2023 with no success, and then I tried using Adobe Premiere Pro 2024 and the issue still persisted. The GIF files on my computer play completely normally when I open them in a photo-viewer, but when I import them into Premiere Pro, the framerate just gets really terrible and it doesn't show all the frames, always lagging for much longer than it should on the 1st frame. It's weird because it didn't always used to do this; Premiere Pro used to play GIFs completely fine, at their proper framerate and without lingering on the first frame. But now, I'm having this issue, and I don't know why.

 

Does anybody know what I can do to fix this? I tried looking online for answers and nobody was having this same problem, so I had to ask it myself here. If you know what I can do to make GIFs play normally in Adobe Premiere Pro, then please do inform me on what I need to do. I would greatly appreciate it.

 

Thanks,

Roman

Make a freeze-frame (export frame) of each GIF frame and use that instead.

As I said, the GIF is 3 frames long and keeps being shortened down to 2 frames. I can't export each GIF frame if Premiere Pro is refusing to show all of them.

Try Photoshop.
