Hello,

Is there a limitation when using gif.

C.ui\_BootAnimation = C.lv\_gif\_create(C.ui\_BootScreen)

C.lv\_gif\_set\_src(C.ui\_BootAnimation, (unsafe.Pointer)(&C.ui\_img\_boot\_animation\_gif))//ui\_img\_boot\_animation\_gif //ui\_img\_spinner\_animation\_gif

C.lv\_obj\_align(C.ui\_BootAnimation, C.LV\_ALIGN\_TOP\_LEFT, 0, 0);

I execute this code in Go lang and it works fine with a small animation.

Perhaps it is also a limitation of our project or board ?

Best Regards

GIF as any other is limited by your platform memory…

Hello,

The problem seems not coming from the size. There is enough memory.

I use the online converter [Online image converter - BMP, JPG or PNG to C array or binary | LVGL](https://lvgl.io/tools/imageconverter) to convert my gif with raw and c array.

We get an error that there is no global color table.

`gif_open: no global color table`

Do you know how to solve this problem ?

Thank you

Best Regards

I used this tool : [Optimize animated GIF - SVM\_Boot\_Animation.gif](https://ezgif.com/optimize/ezgif-5-859195b43f.gif)

Now the gif is displayed but the speed is very slow.

Is there a way to speed up the gif ?

Thank you.

Best Regards

I used the same tool to speed up my gif to 150% but on my board it look the same as before.

Too slow !
