I messed up and sent as a new post (to WEB4LIB in the subject line).
Here's a reply where it should be.
Look for exiftool. Use 'exiftool filename.gif' and it will give you the
duration along with other info.
Most gif animations aren't very long, you could convert it and check the
length o

In those video viewers/editors I can pause, rewind, do a clip capture, etc.
I've only found Irfanview which can play a .gif
