Hi @HajarHadi,

Welcome to the community! 😃

Have a look at : [https://github.com/extrapixel/gif-animation/tree/3.0](https://github.com/extrapixel/gif-animation/tree/3.0)  
I tested the examples provided with 3.5.3 version and it worked for me

I’m assuming that you use Processing3 IDE.  
You can load images (gif, jpg or png) with `load("filename")` from sketches folder. You can access the folder from IDE with ctrl-k or from menu Sketch-\>Open Sketch Folder.

im using processing 3.5.4 version and i did not manage to add the library for GIfs…i used the other way which is from this page [http://www.science.smith.edu/dftwiki/index.php/Processing\_Tutorial\_--\_Showing\_Animated\_Gifs](http://www.science.smith.edu/dftwiki/index.php/Processing_Tutorial_--_Showing_Animated_Gifs)  
and it works!
