Details

It would be good if animated GIFs could be handled similarly to video by separating them into their own layers and animating them asynchronously in the compositor. See bug 598868 for reference about async video.
Unlike video this wouldn't need a separate channel. Once the entire gif is decoded we could upload all the frames to the compositor.
