Note that this GIF has a transparent background here. And an animated GIF file always plays on page load. It's going to play back the four times that we specified in Photoshop that's saved in with the GIF file. There's no options in InDesign that you can set for how that GIF should play back. We want to place that GIF right down here in the bottom left corner. Then close Photoshop, and open the file 06_06_animatedgif_begin, in a design.

Save it into the Links folder, or wherever you can find it later. And let's name this Home_loan_sign_loop_4x. So it's going to play it's sequence four times, and then stop. So in the drop-down, choose Other, and tell it that we want it to loop four times. And right now, this GIF is set to loop forever. So we're going to go to File, Export, Save for Web, and down here in the bottom right corner, there's a Looping Options. So we can see, besides being able to create an animated GIF, Photoshop also allows us to open an existing animated GIF and change it properties. Close the browser, and then grab that Home_loan_sign_loop GIF file again.

In the Exercise Files folder, in the 06 Including video folder, in the Links folder, you'll find a file called Home_loan_sign_loop. And finally, GIF files can have transparent backgrounds. GIF files don't display an on-screen controller.

GIF files can be set to play a specific number of times, and then stop. Why? Well, there are three things that you can do with animated GIFs that you can't do with video. As an alternative to video in the MP4 format, there might be times when you want to include an animated GIF in your fixed-layout EPUB or publish online project.
