Currently, your only solution is to detect whether an image is animated, then use ImageMagick to resize it, or ditch WideImage completely and use ImageMagick for all transformations.
Thanks for the reply. I was looking around for a little more information and also found this out from the LibGD website:
"please note that PHP has not yet been updated to include support
for the animated GIF features that have been added to gd. It will be added in
php 5.3 and 6.x"
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I'm using WideImage to manage all images within my CMS. From upload to resize/crop and to save.
At the moment, WideImage doesn't seem to support animated gif's. Is it possible to add support for animated gifs?
Hi, sadly, this feature doesn't work with GD, so WideImage doesn't support it. After a quick research, I've found out that it is possible to implement it, but will take some time, see: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/718491/resize-animated-gif-file-without-destroying-animation.

I've created a feature request ticket, and I'll implement it some time in the future: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2947088&group_id=190526&atid=933715
