Preloading larger animated gifs?

I wonder is there is a way to preload larger animated gifs. If simply placed they lag on the first run - then on subsequent activations they play smoothly.

I wonder if there is a nifty trick that would work like a preload? Any help would be much appreciated!

I don’t think there is an way to do that from Watch Face Studio

Thanks so much for reply.

WFS gives 2 options for adding animations - webp and gif - I wonder if there is any difference in regards to loading more efficiently/faster?

webp animations are lighter in general.
Using webp animation instead of gif might help with the lag you are facing.

Thanks - let me check on this one :wink:
