    Are you talking about an actual video CLIP or an animated GIF?
    An animated GIF is just inserted via the "insert image" it will move when you preview in browser or publish. No Problem!

      If you changed the size, or modified the animated GIF in any way, those changes were applied to the first "panel" of the multi-layered image file only (like a flip book or a cartoon, an animated GIF is a series of images that when "cycled" give the appearance of motion), which thus interrupts the remaining 'stacked' images in the file and prevents the scripted 'animation' from functioning.

      If this is the case, you are looking at the first image in the series only, and the original effect will no longer be available.

      To re-size, re-color, or otherwise modify an animated GIF, you must use an appropriate editor that is capable of editing each panel and preserving the action commands......

        Hi

        Are you talking about the kind of animated gifs as on my kids website page? Here

        When you say that you "saved it as a .gif", was it in another format originally?

          Please read threads entirely before repeating questions left unanswered: until Original Poster responds to questions or supporting information, there is nothing more to "offer" other than posting to simply post (which is considered "interrupting") or to "seed" a link.

            Vasili. Our sites are in all our signatures. No one need 'seed' links - esp. not to a kids page when there are no children present, and it would be pretty pointless to use the word 'here' as a link if I were...

            I was trying to help clarify with a visual - not repeating a question at all.
