Answer 1

Maybe a bit late, but found a simple solution on this page : http://www.raysoftware.cn/?p=559 Download the file http://www.raysoftware.cn/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/FMXGif.rar, uncompress, and take the file FMX.GifUtils out, and put in your the directory of your application

Put a image component on your form with name Image1

Put the file FMX.GifUtils in your use on top

Declare in your form in private :

FGifPlayer: TGifPlayer;

in the create of your form:

 FGifPlayer := TGifPlayer.Create(Self);
 FGifPlayer.Image := Image1;
 FGifPlayer.LoadFromFile('youfilename.gif');
 FGifPlayer.Play;

That's it;
