Thanks, Joe. But, my ultimate goal is to convert the .gif into an .mp4 with a downloadable, free converter so I can watch the instructional video in VLC, DR, OpenShot, etc. In those video viewers/editors I can pause, rewind, do a clip capture, etc. I've only found Irfanview which can play a .gif but will only stop and play. I found a YT which showed you how to convert a .gif to an .mp4 using Power Point but when I do that with this .gif it only converts about 5 seconds even though I set the convert minutes in PPT to 10.00 minutes. A lot of work just to watch an instructional video! Thanks, Charles.

There are simple scripts out there to just determine the length of the animation. Here’s one in PHP (as they were dealing with file uploads): https://justinsomnia.org/2006/10/gif-animation-duration-calculation/
