this is a tut i made for my GIMP community. its for inserting a small gif into a larger image without using GAP. i hope its useful

Image

First, start with your .gif image and unoptimize as shown in the picture above.

Image

Next, change the image mode to and RBG image from an indexed image

Image

Image

Now, scale the canvas size of the image and make your background, duplicate it for each and every one of the frames, and distribute it behind each frame. It should look like this:

Image

Image

Add text and any other animation effects you may want and do the same as with the background. You may also want to fine tune the frames of the animation so it blends better with the BG. As a final step with the layers, merge each frame with its corresponding text, background, extra animation, etc.

Image

Now optimize for gif and refer back to the original animation for how long each frame should be. Check playback a few times to be sure that the animation runs smoothly.

Now save as a .gif and u have yourself your own animated picture!

This is a great tutorial... The one I have made is for the GAP and I think that some will really appreaite you for taking the time to make this because some people find the GAP a really hard plugin to use!... I think that some operating systems users will really like this because I dont think the GAP is available to them!

Great Work! Thanks for shareing! What was the group that you made this for origionally?

i got lost on the duplicate and distribute to each frame part, exactly how do you do that?

You know how to work with layers, right? You duplicate the layer, then with each duplicate, move it in the layer stack so that it alternates with each fram e of the gif. At the bottom of the layers dialoge are several icons, if you hover your mouse over each one, it tells you what it does. One creates new layers. The next two move the selected layer up or down the layer stack (select a layer by clicking on it), the next one duplictes layers, the one after that is for anchoring floating layers, and the last one deletes layers.

This is more of making a image with a gif isn't it? I was trying to make an animated Userbar with animated sprites but it said that you had to make the background then canvas size it and it wasn't the same size as the userbar.

Also when i put each thing behind the background the background was blinking between images.
