I have used QGraphicsView, QGraphicsScene classes in order to show a picture in a widget like this:

m_Scene->addPixmap(QPixmap(fileName));
m_View->setScene(m_Scene);

How I can show .gif animation in the same scene?

I don't use GIF animation with QGraphicsView or QGraphicsScene, I use it only in QDialog, but I think it's the same stuff, so here is my code:

QMovie *movie = new QMovie(":/images/other/images/16x16/loading.gif");
QLabel *processLabel = new QLabel(this);
processLabel->setMovie(movie);
movie->start();

My loading.gif I took from this link.

PS: also check the examples from Qt SDK. They are really can help!
