After copying, the GIF becomes a still image

Hi Tim:
Thanks for reading the post. HX has some problems when it comes to handling GIF pictures.
1. The inserted GIF picture can be kept dynamic, but once copied, it becomes static. Whether you are copying a GIF, or copying the slide where the GIF is located, you will encounter this problem.
2. Some GIFs downloaded directly from the web will be distorted when previewed.
I put the project file in the link below in the hope that this will help solve this problem.

Hi Cory,

Gifs will usually only work when displayed in a browser as part of a web page. You shouldn't try to generate a Gif with more than a few frames. It isn't really a video format and should only be used for very small things.
