So I have this gif animation and I want to add a background to it. when I add a new layer (the background layer) and draw something on it (like as an example: a field of daisies) and save the layers as an animation than..well..you guessed it..it participates in the animation.
So how to add a background without harassing the animated layers?
How to add an extra background to the animated gif?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a 25 layer animated gif done. I also have a png of the same size with a transparent background. I want to run that png image on each layer so the background is animated while the foreground is not.
How do I add that layer to each one of the 25 layers of the gif so that the background looks animated while the foreground looks still? Version 2.6.11
I have attached the 25 layer background and the single top layer.
Just wants to get some simple "animated words" traced with a white background (instead of the background being "dimmed" looseleaf paper)
To explain, here's a comparison example of what I'm trying to achieve:
Imagine the phrase:
EGG-CELERATING THE PACE OF FERTILITY
Where the letter E is:
The vertical part of the E is a stalk of Celery
The horizontals of the E are cartons of Eggs.
Where the "P" of Pace looks like a basic line drawing of a "pacing shoe"
...with perhaps "anxious" looking eyes drawn inside the shoe
...yet still look like a P
...and the remainder is [roughly] like my attached letters on Dim looseleaf background. (see attached)
How would you achieve the EGG-CELERATING phrase? I bet an expert could achieve this within 1/2 hour or less, can't they? So I'm trying to achieve the same as the above:
...albeit it's a different phrase, and different BASIC pics.
...in other words, it's mostly outlined-alphabet, but including 4 basic pictorial-letters, and some more letters containing "eyes"
P.S. Regarding the attachment, note that I placed that in a Layer which I called Layer1
Then tried selecting it & changing background to White But was unsucessful.
how to place an gif between two layers (or add text, brushes, images over it) without screwing up the animation. I've experimented with it, and the results tends to be that one of the layers (pictures) go missing in the animation or the animation just does not animate.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHow can i get such effects like in the attached image;
- first of all; the image has no background - the grapes are shown on a plain white background.Note; there is another nice little thing that we have to mention; the image of the grapes are somewhat with a kind of a overdose of light - i think that this is a nice effect - perhaps added with gimp!? The grapes look very interesting.
- the next effect that i like is the adding of the circles that are seen in the image. How did they add those pastel colored circles.

I'm trying to adjust brightness/contrast and saturation over about 30 layers on an animated GIF. Everything looks great until I do a save for web and click on the animate box. At that point, the color/changes drop off completely. It shows up fine when it's just the one layer being shown. And it seems to be showing up on all the layers when I'm in the main edit window. I keep looking and making sure I have the 'this adjustment affects all layers below,' and I do. I even tried saving a GIF with the other setting turned on and I got the same thing.
Â
Anyway, I exported a few GIFs, thinking maybe the adjustment layers would kick in as it saved, but nope. Neither layer saved into the exported GIF.

I'm sure this is just a simple setting I'm missing, but I'm banging my head against the desk at this point.

I've never been into animation very much but recently, while making an avatar, I couldn't make up my mind which of the three chipmunks from Alvin and the Chipmunks I should put into it. I decided to try an animated gif and put them all in a constant loop one-by-one. How hard can it be, I thought.
Well, turns out it wasn't and here it is:
On paper, it works fine but in practise, it doesn't for reasons I can't fathom. I've tested it on three forums and on every one of them, it occasionally freezes in the last frame and refuses to execute the animation while other people's animated signatures and avatars animate just fine so it's safe to assume that there's something wrong with my gif.
Here are the settings I used while exporting:
How to create an animated route along a map. Here's the final image...
While these steps will only show how to add a single route to a map, you can add as many routes as you would like and even instruct the script to start on any layer or have any number of frames.
I'm using GIMP 2.6.6 for the tutorial. You will need the following script installed to complete the tutorial ->Animated Path Stroking Script Suite. The script zip file was updated today (December 26, 2013) to include brushes from GIMP 2.6. GIMP 2.8 no longer uses them, but in order to run the script effectively without having to modify the script itself, please add the brushes to your GIMP brushes folder here: C:/Program Files/GIMP-2.0/share/gimp2.0/brushes There have been no changes to the script, so if you have the previous version, there is no need to install it.
It's probably a good idea to have the animation settings script installed on your computer so you can quickly adjust the timing of the layers. That script can be download here-> saulgoode's animation settings script
Let's begin.
Step 1
Open up your desired map in GIMP. I'm using one from Google that's near my house in Central Florida and I'll show you how to get to Disney World.
Step 2
Create a duplicate of the map so you have two layers. Here's a screenshot of the layer dialog window.
Step 3
Grab your path tool and start creating your path on the image. Here's what my path looks like. I started near the green dot and finished at the red dot. The path will be painted in the direction you draw it.
Step 4
With your path now drawn, make your top layer active by clicking on it in the layer dialog window...(It's highlighted in blue in my screenshot.) This is the layer we will start drawing on. The bottom layer will be left untouched.
Step 5
Choose the brush you want to paint with. I chose the Circle Fuzzy (07) and set the spacing to 1.0
Step 6
Click on the Paths Tab in GIMP and it will show the path dialog window and all of the paths you have for that image. Right now, we should only have one. Right-click on that path and choose Animated Path Stroking.
Here's the settings I picked...
Click OK and script will do the rest and your animation should look something like so:
Step 7
If you want to alter the speed of the layers, make sure you installed the Animation Settings script I recommended at the beginning of the tutorial and go to Filters > Animation > Settings... Under delay you set the timing. The larger the number the longer the delay. I picked 100 and set the mode to Replace. I then added a longer delay (1.5 seconds or 1500 ms) to my first and last frames. To do that, I double-clicked on the layer name changed the timing number to (1500ms), and then hit the <Enter> key. Make sure you hit the <Enter> key so that GIMP will know to make the changes.
That's it! Give it a shot and see what you come up with. Try adding more routes to the map, changing brush size, colors, and altering the number of frames they are drawn over. Don't be afraid to experiment with the settings. Undo is your friend!
How to add an animated gif on top of an image?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to add a top image to an animated gif, an image that is like the background image which will appear together with each frame, but appears on the top of the frames instead.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have about 350 images I am trying to turn into an animated GIF so I can stick them in Flash rather than importing 350 images. When I click "Optimize for GIF" it works, but strips the quality way down. I would rather use a PNG, so if there is a plugin, I would love to hear about it OR if you know a way for the animated GIF to be created without losing quality, that would be awesome.
View 1 Replies View RelatedGIMP can preview my animation at 25 fps but when I export the animated GIF I can't seem to get it to run fast enough. I reduce the amount of time between frames to 0 and tried experimenting with the 'use delay entered above for all frames' but it's just way too slow.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to edit an animated GIF. I can open it in GIMP and the various frames appear as layers - all good so far. I would like to paste in an object into each frame then re-export. The problem is, many of the frames have large transparent sections in them. I'm guessing this how the original program saved some space in the GIF file - by using transparency in areas that don't change from the first few frames. Is this going to cause issues, and if so, is there a way to export all the frames as images with the full detail rather than looking like a series of cheese-graters?
