How do I read a gif in opencv python ? I tried imread but it is reading nothing. It is in the same directory as my code.

you can't using imread() , there's no codec for that builtin (still a license problem)

you can abuse VideoCapture (works, because ffmpeg can read gif's) , or you'll have to fallback to 3rd party libs like PIL

thank you very much ! VideoCapture works nicely
