Have you the original GIF for us to look at and play with?. Is the one in your TEST meant to keep jumping in and out?.....or is that Gif the actual original one..?

original GIF file.

I dont have 17, but every version of pro or movie studio I've ever had has had a hard time dealing with gifs.

Hard read

until I create a proxy for it first.

Proxy can be a temporary solution for "Preview Full, Auto,..". But can't work for Project Media GIF's hover scrub.

Hope VEGAS team fix it as soon as possible.

"Hope VEGAS team fix it as soon as possible."

I wouldn't want the Vegas team to spend a second on this non-bug. They have provided proxies and rendering to intermediates as a means of processing media that isn't video.

Hello, you can regard GIF as a special video, because video's nature is "animated picture" and GIF's nature is also "animated picture".

And GIF is a very very basic, common material during people's editing all kinds of creative, composite projects. So the sluggish of GIF's playback and hover scrub is a stupid mistake. This shouldn't occur in such a professional NLE.

And if a project contain tens of hundreds of GIFs, creating proxies will spend a lot of time.

And creating proxies will not work for Project Media GIF's hover scrub's sluggish, if your mouse fly over Project Media GIF's hover scrub by accident it may make VEGAS Pro no response.

And proxies only work in Preview, Draft preview mode. If some one want to use Full or Better preview mode to edit, the playback will stilll sluggish.

Therefore, as far as many creators are concerned, the severity of GIF playback and hover scrub's sluggish is no less than video's sluggish.

Chances are your GIF has too many colors or frames or pixels to preview smoothly. Discussing semantics is unlikely to affect that.

@john_dennis' suggestions are best, however, if you plan to repurpose it as something other than GIF.

If you'll upload your file to Drive or Dropbox, I'll try to help. Lotsa experience with these. This not being my first rodeo, however, I decline to download from elsewhere.

Hello, your reading comprehension got the wrong emphasis. semantics is not the emphasis. Don't regard it as the emphasis.

These four point taking up the most space is the emphasis.

No, this single point taking up little space has the most emphasis.

I started creating sequences for web delivery of GIF in VV2 in '02. Nothing about the format has changed since then, although you think it must.

Hello, I'm sorry that maybe my Non-first English make you reading comprehension get wrong or maybe your school teacher teached you that something taking up less space is more emphatic.

Anyway, explain again, My oringal intension is that these four points taking up the most space is the emphasis :

• GIF is a very very basic, common material during people's editing all kinds of creative, composite projects. So the sluggish of GIF's playback and hover scrub is a stupid mistake. This shouldn't occur in such a professional NLE.
• And if a project contain tens of hundreds of GIFs, creating proxies will spend a lot of time.
• And creating proxies will not work for Project Media GIF's hover scrub's sluggish, if your mouse fly over Project Media GIF's hover scrub by accident it may make VEGAS Pro no response.
• And proxies only work in "Preview", "Draft" preview mode. If some one want to use "Full" or "Better" preview mode to edit, the playback will stilll sluggish.

Hope this again explanation help others not get wrong emphasis as this man.

And hope VEGAS Pro will get more improved.

All GIFs are not created equal. But have it your way. Cheers.

Hello, Thank for you cheer. This just everyone who loves VEGAS Pro should do to come up with some suggestions to make it more and more improved.

Quick fix is Highlight it and Shift B to Pre render. Works fine of your sample..

Yes，Shift+B and proxy are two temporary solutions.

You haven't mentioned your system specs. Maybe you need more grunt to handle these gifs?

I now use proxy and it work fine in "draft，preview" mode, but not "better, best" mode.

And if my mouse flies over Project Media GIF's hover scrub by accident it may make VEGAS Pro sluggish or no response.

So it's a temporary solution.

The native import of .GIF files from Vegas is horrible. Use the HOS Import Assist by @wwaag. Import Assist does a great job importing .GIF files to Vegas.
