Hi guys,
the concrete links and stuff are only an example to explain the task.
For an animated Gif, I would like to use this zoo image as background, which must be visible in the background for the whole time the animation plays.

I want to run the smiley 2 animation (s2) near the lion and the smiley 4 animation (s2) near the elephants head.

So when you play the animation, s2 and s4 starting their movement SIMULTANEOUSLY.
Now, the only way to achieve this known to me is manually:
Have the zoo image as background layer.
Paste s2, its 7 layers will be visible in the layers pattern dock above zoo layer and named frame 1 (1ms) replace, frame 2 (1ms) replace...
Move every layer manually near the proper XY position near lion.
Duplicate background layer 7 times, move each duplicate below one of the frames, merge frames down to background.
Rename all the background, background copy1,... into frame 1 with lion smiley (1ms) replace, frame 2 (with lion smiley 1ms) replace...
I do hope this descirption does not confuse!!!
For the other animated smiley:
Paste s4, its 7 layers (named frame 1 (1ms) replace, frame 2 (1ms) replace...) will be visible in the layers pattern dock above frame 1 with lion smiley (1ms) replace, frame 2 (with lion smiley 1ms) replace,...
Move every layer of the s4 animtion manually near the proper XY position near the elephant. Merge down frame 1 (1ms) replace onto frame 1 with lion smiley (1ms) , merge down frame 2 (1ms) replace onto frame 2 with lion smiley (1ms) and so on.
Sounds like A LOT OF MANUAL WORK , and this is only for describing, the actual project might use animations with 40 frames.
I was also looking for some online gif software, but did not any helpful for my task.
1.Is there a magic gimp script / way or other software to help with the whole problem?Also very helpful to know:
2. After loading the background png, how to paste the animated gif and its 7 layers NOT IN THE CENTER, but at a certain XY position, so all the 7 frames are automatically pasted at that XY position.
3. How to AUTOMATICALLY merge 7 frames down to the background image, so they are still 7 frames and the background image is dispayed in every frame.
I really do hope you understand what I want to say, let me rephrase if not!
Thanks in advance for any effort!
