Using picture export retains the full GIF file. Are you right clicking and
selecting "Save as Picture"?

How are you determining that you are exporting still images? Try opening a new
presentation and inserting one of the GIF's that you don't think exported
correctly. Then press F5. Does the GIF animate?
