GIF Animation Support

#hive

Hive users encounter a notable limitation when interacting with the proofing area of the software. Currently, GIFs added to this section do not autoplay, and instead, must be manually clicked to start, which can disrupt the workflow and ease of usage. Moreover, there is a further inconvenience as GIFs are converted to PDFs, showing only the first frame and not the entire animation sequence. This functionality reduction hinders the ability to effectively review animated content directly within Hive, resulting in a less efficient review process and potentially leading to misinterpretations of the intended visual communication.

🗒️ Feature Requests

  • Autoplay GIFs:
    The extension should enable GIFs to autoplay when they are loaded in the Hive proofing area, enhancing the user experience by allowing seamless viewing of animations without manual intervention.
  • Preserve GIF Format:
    Prevent conversion of GIFs into PDFs, ensuring that the original animation is preserved and fully viewable in its intended format. This would maintain the integrity of the visual content and provide a more accurate representation during reviews.
