GIF is not a supported file type (for multiple very good reasons). See the list here:

Here is just one way to do it (there are many and many)



You will need to have a delay after the paste image, or a set sync rate. You could also do this using an animated sprite.

no, you need to display it on the screen.
If you want an animation, do it like this:



The code that displays the images is commented in capitals

Part of solving the problem is actually noticing that the problem is there in the first place
