One of them will say GIF under file type. I've made an animated gif a while ago but don't remember what I used-yeah, it's been that long. :lol:
What an idiot I am. I finally realized to look in help and they had the insyructions on how to save as an animated GIF, it was sort of like what you told me CP but there is a step before all of that.
