Importing .gifs to use as entities?

[arcvox 0]

Hi there,

Apologies if this is a silly question, but I'm new to the software and needed some advice on an entity I have created.
Essentially I'm animating a small isometric cow and have started off creating the right walking loops for each direction; for the 4 directional movements I've exported them as .gifs.
Now, I wanted to have the cow running around an area, and I figured I could import the directional .gifs and use them as and when, but they seem to be frozen in place.

Am I doing this wrong? Is there a more efficient way of creating this effect without having to export each direction as frames to be carefully reconstructed within the app?

Thanks! This is a great piece of software btw!

Spriter only uses PNG images, not GIF animations. You could save your GIF out from the program you created it with as sequential images, then load those sequential images in as an animation.
