GIFs thumbnail of download entry not playing?

In my wordpress shop (using woocommerce), I use gifs as primary image for my products. In WPDM, I tried to do the same, and set a gif as the main image of a download, but the gif gets processed by the plugin. Instead of loading the image from my wordpress library, it puts the image into wpdm-cache and loads it from there. I opened the direct url to the gif, and the gif is no longer playing, seems like it was processed/resized and now its a static gif. Is there any way not to use the wpdm cache and when I add a photo to a download, just have it load from my wordpress library? Instead of processing the images (and thus, making the gif static.

Thanks in advance for the reply!

Thanks for the reply!
I realized I didn’t give enough context. I attached the gif as featured image.
I’m displaying the downloads in a grid, im using the Link Templates.
In the template, I use the thumb_url. (I didn’t see other options at Template Variables, that I could use)
<div class=”__wpdm_square_card” style=”background-image: url(‘[thumb_url_600x600]’);”>
<div class=”__wpdm_square_content”>
<h2 class=”__wpdm_square_title”>[title]</h2>
<p class=”__wpdm_square_description”>[description]</p>
[download_link]
</div>
</div>

Is there any way to display the actual gif I attach to the download as featured image?

I looked around and found the [preview] tag, it does exactly what I wanted, its perfect. Thank you for your time again! I managed to resolve the issue:)
