Description
**Description**
This study displays a broken link on both the search page and the preview-study page:
https://lookit.mit.edu/studies/1e6c0129-13c7-4736-91af-e8886f2b24cd/
However, the corresponding experimenter view displays the GIF, which is presumably why it was never flagged during creation or review:
https://lookit.mit.edu/exp/studies/1876/
**How to reproduce**
Check links above!
**Expected behavior**
GIFs should either work on all views, or else be rejected at the study creation/edit forms
**Screenshots**
** Environment (OS, browser, branch, etc.):**
Chrome, Mac laptop

Research direction
Compare how the GIF is rendered on the search page, preview-study page, and experimenter view, using the linked study to reproduce the discrepancy. Then inspect the study creation/edit forms to determine whether GIF links should be supported consistently or rejected there. Done means the GIF behaves consistently across the listed views or invalid GIF links are rejected by those forms.
