How can I get fix my Windows Movie Maker to allow me to use my animated .gif files? I have a program called Pivot Stickfigure Animator that saves an animation as a .gif file (which is usually a picture file, but in this case, an animation). Usually, Windows Movie Maker (version 2.1.4026.0 if you must know) allows me to import the file into collections and plays the animation just fine, but I think I missed it up: I installed the software that came with my new Sony digital camera, and all the animated .gif files no longer played the animation, they just showed the first frame for the default 30 seconds as a picture file would. I realised what I had done and uninstalled the camera software, but then it no longer allowed me to import the .gif files into my collections at all. The ones that were already on my timeline did not show up. I have tried everything I could think of, and could not correct the problem. I hope I have given you all the necessary information for you to have a good answer. Error message when trying to import the file: C:\Program Files\Pivot Stickfigure Animator\animations\movie\scene2.gif could not be imported. The selected file is not valid or is corrupted.
Why will animated gif play on my computer but not online? I have done this many times before, created an animated gif with Gifbuilder and uploaded it to my site. One particular image I've just recently created simply will not load online -- at first it at least showed the "alternate" text though not the image. Now it won't even show that. Although the image is clearly on my server, when I key in the address, I sometimes get "not found" message. I tried turning "automatic" off on my Fetch FTP software and specifically telling it to upload as binary, but that made no difference.
Is there a program that can edit .gif files and other animated images? I've recently developed an interest in making my own animated .gif files.

Is there a freeware program for a Windows OS that can do this?
