Editing apps and Keynote often handle GIFs badly. Convert them to MOV — H.264 for solid GIFs, or ProRes 4444 with alpha when the GIF is transparent.

GIFs in video projects

Dropping a GIF straight into a timeline can cause wrong frame timing, missing loops or lost transparency. A MOV plays back predictably in every editor.

For Keynote and PowerPoint, a MOV also scales better and avoids the GIF colour limit when combined with other footage.

Frequently asked questions

Does GIF to MOV keep transparency?

Yes, as ProRes 4444 with alpha, when the Transparency switch is on.

What codec is used for non-transparent GIFs?

H.264, which keeps the MOV small.

Can I loop the MOV?

Loop it in your editor or presentation app — MOV files do not carry a loop flag like GIFs.
