Common questions about WP GIF Player - Play & Pause

For those GIF files that are already uploaded in your Media Library you can generate the assets in one click. You just have to go to your Media Library section and see the media files as list then hover the GIF you want to generate the assets and click "Generate GIF Player" option. You should see an admin notice after success or fail assets generation.

To use the GIF Player as video you need two things: FFMpeg library. This is the library to convert the GIF files to video format. shell_exec. A PHP function to run the ffmpeg command. Check the GIF as Video wiki for more details.

By default the plugin converts the GIF to WebM and MP4 but you can add more using the custom filters.

Some Lazy Load plugins are compatible with the three GIF player methods in the plugin but there are other plugins that won't allow you to reproduce the GIF player. In case the GIF player cannot reproduce you can use your Lazy Load plugin filters to skip Lazy Load by using the GIF CSS classes. The CSS classes for every GIF player are: GIF: wp-gp-pp-gif

Video: wp-gp-pp-video-player If your Lazy Load plugin ask you to add a custom CSS class into the GIF asset to avoid Lazy Load you will have to use the GIF player custom filters in your functions.php file. Check the custom filters to avoid Lazy Load for the GIF players.
