So i was wondering how would one go to put or make Gif's on Powerdirector 14 be in constant loop. For images i know i am able to increase the duration of the image throughout the video but how could i do that with a gif other than constantly copy and pasting the gif in the timeline.

Copy and paste till reach your needed duration. Its the only way. Personally I love being able to use gifs, they can be a lot of fun in a production. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)
Nvidia GTX 960(4GB)/16GB DDR3/
Canon Vixia HV30/HF-M40/HF-M41/HF-G20/Olympus E-PL5.
Tape capture using 6 VCR, TBC-1000, Elite BVP4+, Sony D8 camcorder with TBC.

Hi Ricky599 -

That's not going to happen in PDR.

You need to insert the GIF - format/resize etc - then copy & paste it multiple times to get the duration you're after. A gif usually only has a limited number of frames & will only loop automatically in a browser or player like IrfanView.

You'll see the same idea applied in this toot, made with PDR9 (before GIFs were compatible) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQvhfhN3IPs

I see, appreciate the input. Wasn't sure if there was another way of going around to do it.
