I was wondering how come I couldnt convert my AVI file to a GIF. This is what I did: First I imported the AVI file and cut a clip out of it. Then I placed it onto the stage and went to Publish Settings. I ticked the GIF and unticked HTML and FLASH. When I published it the GIF wouldn’t move or play or anything! Could someone help me?
