Why are animated gifs not displaying animations in the preview?

Why are animated gifs not displaying animations in the preview?

 

My coworkers and I are not seeing a animation in the preview pane in Adobe Bridge CS6 even when clicking the play button in the preview window. However, we do see a graphic of the first frame and one person sees 1 frame when clicking play and one other frame and then the animation stops, however, that is not the complete animation.

 

I'm using Windows 7 32 bit

My coworkers are using a mac.

 

One coworker has apple OS Mountain Lion with a Intel Quad-Core Xeon – 64 bit system.

 

Is this fixable or in the works as a patch? Otherwise we have to open these docs in a browser in order to view them properly.

    Playing anitimated gifs in Bridge has been a long standing featue request.  Not implemented so far,  apparently.

    I've just come to the realization that some animated gifs do play fine and others do not. A coworker of mine suggests that if it's an animation made via Adobe Photoshop, it'll work in bridge but will not if it's made using something else.

    Bridge uses Quicktime for animation, so make sure that is up to date.
