Hi Jerry, I tried your composition with two sample gifs I took from the web. But it seems that the Movie Importer patch is playing back those gifs in the correct speed, even they have varying frame durations in a certain gif.
Do you have a gif where this is not the case? I am still not sure if I understand your issue correctly, sorry! best, Achim Breidenbach Boinx Software Ltd.
