Amazon transcoder convert gif to video

Q: Is it possible to convert a GIF to mp4 (or another video format) using elastic transcoder?

I have been looking at the documentation for Amazon Elastic Transcoder and it seems that they are treating .GIF files as video files.

I also know that they have the following preset: 1351620000001-100200

So is there a way to convert it into a video instead?

Elastic transcode does support animated GIFs as an input. You can see this confirmed in presentations they have given, although they seem not to provide a definitive list of supported input types in their documentation:

Assuming there is no problem with your input file then you should be able to specify the output format using the usual setting when you create a job.

One thing to check is that you are not doing any pre-processing on the GIF that converts it into one or more static images instead.
