Envato Authors Author Hangout

Hi,
It is allowed to use animated gif image in the product description on Themeforest ?
As an example : I want to show how it works in my theme page builder and for that I thought to do a screen animation.

Thank you @dtbaker ! You’re awesome !
I have no problem with implementation. I wonder if it’s allowed in Envato terms . Because I did not find anything written about this gif animations in description in terms.
But I think is allowed.

@dtbaker I don’t know why recent purchased and recent sales are showing blank ?

last purchased is yesterday in the statements. See my Hosting Template

Any Idea?

I also know that the animated gifs are allowed.

The only thing to take into account is the item page performance, there was a post here: http://marketblog.envato.com/tips/image-performance-tips-for-authors/

Thanks for the reply .
Like this : http://themeforest.net/item/appica-2-wordpress-app-showcase-theme/11226711
GIF is 1.1MB .
True, number of frames rather small and this generates a lag
Another theme with gif description ? But GIF to be quality without lag. To see how fast it loads.

also FYI. imgur is now blocked on ThemeForest, might want to move your broken profile page images over to new hosting :slight_smile:
