Saving your Pivot animation as an animated GIF:
(As recommended in the instructional video below) When I saved this example animation I:
-changed the file type to "gif"
-and then changed the frame delay to 5,
-and changed the shrink frames to 2
-and de-selected both merge and crop.

Then I just inserted a picture, and the selected the file that I had saved into the frame below.
NOTE: you may find that other settings work well for you also.
