Rainmeter can't handle animated gifs. You have to extract the frames of it then you can use those images into an Image meter.
Do you know how to achieve this? Here is a good description. If you don't succeed, please come back, uploading the images and you definitely will get assistance.

I know that, i have my frames for this, but I dont know how use the gif frames with the MeasureSpeaker, the gif frames work, but how i can use them to change gif or something similar to the other gif frames i have when the computer play sounds?

The above code was copied probably from an visualizer skin. This is ok and it should even work if the images are named as 0.png - 14.png and are located into the Anim subfolder of the config which contains the above code as a .ini file. For experimenting I recommend you to:
  • Remove (comment out) the Hidden and DynamicVariables options.
  • There is not needed to update all meters on every change, just the [Speaker], because only its ImageName option is changed through the !SetOption bangs.
  • Another usual recommendation is to move all images (in fact the Anim folder) into the @Resources folder. It's a general requirement to have all resources into the @Resources folder.
  • Don't use the !Execute bang, because it has been deprecated long time ago.
  • The Author option, although a while ago belonged to the [Rainmeter] section, has been moved to [Metadata]. I also moved it.
With all this, here is the updated code:

[Speaker]
Meter=Image
Y=0
ImagePath=#@#Anim
;Hidden=[MeasureState]
;DynamicVariables=1
Take care to have the Anim folder into @Resources, otherwise the skin won't work.
If you can't get this to work, please pack the whole config (which contains the 0.png - 14.png images as well) and upload it, to can check.

It's posible, change position between 2 skins with this?
the condition is the sound, but i'm thinking to do this more easy, and just replace the position of the first gif and the second
mouth open and mouth close, but they are the same movements, only the mouth change :0

Not sure I understood. You'd like to change the images of another skin from the above code?
