How can I hide the controllers in ListAnimate?

Question

Consider the following expression:

ListAnimate[{1, 2, 3}, Paneled -> False]

which produces:

I can hide the panels with Paneled -> False. But is there an option to hide the controllers as well? I just want to export a GIF to stick into a PowerPoint slide, so I don't need any further interactivity. The documentation for Manipulate does not indicate such an option.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You can just export data (that you put in ListAnimate[]) directly into gif like this:

data = Range[10];

Export["test.gif", data, "GIF", "DisplayDurations" -> 1, AnimationRepetitions -> Infinity]

Answer 2

If you want to use ListAnimate, then use option "ControlAppearance" of Export to GIF format:

Export["12345.gif", ListAnimate[{1, 2, 3}, Paneled -> False], "GIF", 
"ControlAppearance" -> None]

You can alse specify DefaultDuration or AnimationRate for ListAnimate.
