Not currently support Animated GIFOptimizing Frame Animation: Color Depth and Frame Ratethree primary ways to optimize

Reduce the resolution

Reduce the color depth

And reduce the framerate

Format: PNG32, Png8If you don't need to composite your animation over other graphics, you can also consider using the lossy JPEG format to get a far smaller per-frame data foot print by throwing away some of the image data and resulting quality.

Hardware conditions, processors and memory should be considered
