  <p>Admin support and I figured it out... kinda: </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>It works if you use the "traditional" email. The Mosaico version
  seems to strip the gifs away.</li>
  <li>If I view the resulting email through
  our standard email reader, it moves. If I view it through outlook,
  it does not. </li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Conclusion - Even if you get the gif to upload and go
      out properly, it doesn't work on all email readers and therefore is
      not a good solution for your email.</p>

  The issue is with the `intervention` library used, which doesn't support animated GIFs. The [intervention bug](https://github.com/Intervention/image/issues/176) is 5+ years old.
  
  While intervention is open source, the maintainer is mostly inactive, and hasn't released the source code of his new version, which he's been working on for years. I think it might be time to remove intervention from Mosaico.
  
  Note also that there's an [open Mosaico issue](https://github.com/veda-consulting/uk.co.vedaconsulting.mosaico/issues/285) for this topic.
