Is there a way to use .gifs with Magic that anyone knows of, other than converting them to a compatible video format?

Is there a plugin maybe that I haven't found yet?

I was using a different program for visuals prior to this and I have built up quite a collection of weird Id like to incorporate into Magic, preferably with some sort of way to switch between them with midi.

Do you mean animated .gifs? You can actually just load those into the Video module. The Video module supports a ton of different formats -- it would be impossible to document them all :).

And of course, for non-animated .gifs you can use the Image module.

Huh ok, I guess I need to dig deeper, the few animated gifs I tried didnt work, but I did only try a couple. Maybe some bad .gifs... Ill report back if still having issues.

Ok cool. If you have any that don't work in Magic, but seem to work in other apps/browsers, feel free to post them as attachments and I'll investigate.
