Google Earth does not support animated GIFs. You have to follow the procedure in my post to break it down into individual frames, and assign a time to the frame, so that it will run as a time animation.

I add a placemark on GE and insert code html(Gif image)in description:
“img src=”http://www12.24h.com.vn/upload/news/2007-09-24/T9_CauDo24-9.gif” alt=”" border=”0″ />”
When I click on the placemark then the GIF animation show but not runs its loops. Why?
Can you help me so that the Gif animation runs its loops?

Click on the checkmark at the left of the animation control, and set the mode to “Wrap” – it will then repeat the time animation over and over.

I was wondering if it was possible to overlay GIF animations on GE while that the the animation still runs its loops?

I wanted to put an animated wind turbine on google earth. I was wondering if it is possible to animate it.
In this case I don’t think you could use years as the frames, as you would rather want milli seconds. Also we are talking about vertical areas, not overlays. Do you think this could be done?

He’s been doing a lot of interesting animations, using both GIFs and SketchUp models. Check out in particular his London Eye animations, which isn’t too far away from what you want to do.
