Everytime I get an error message "the file firmat is not supported"

I tried .mp4 and .mkv

Which format do I have to use?
Best regards,

    You can’t import videos natively you have to use GIF or link to YouTube.

    Thanks for your answer! 

    For everyone with the same issue... I found a simple online converter:
    https://cloudconvert.com/mp4-to-gif


    @john_mcclary is using https://www.screentogif.com/

    On the Mac, I've been happy with the builtin screen capture tools for recording (Command-Shift-5, and use "record selected portion"), and Gifski for converting the .MOV to a .GIF.
