The keyword is "animated GIF". It's not a movie but a stack of images, which is available in a certain specification of the GIF format (GIF89a, specified in 1989, hence the name). The "movie" effect you mention is visible in browsers (that's what it's made for), a GIF89a aware image editor will naturally don't display the animation but the single frames. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIF#Animated_GIF Try it out: drag that locally saved file in a new window of your favourite web browser. GC will show a "play" button and also shows the number of frames included in the file. Menu "Window" -> "Gif animation" shows the frames side by side and lets you add frames to an existing image file. Save as GIF with option 89a. Newly termed "cinemagraph" this format sees a renaissance since about two years and is now even used for cool fashion stills with just that little blink of an eye or so: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinemagraph The Daily Prophet is the only known printed daily newspaper that uses this kind of moving images.
