Animated RGB Pixel
#1
So I'm new to making animated things, and I'm not sure if there is a way to make a single-pixel switch from being red, with a glow effect, to slowly change to green, with a light effect as well, and then blue with the same properties and back again. It might be very simple to do but I personally just can't figure it out. Any help would be appriciated.

Is this for some pixel graphics type image ? Otherwise 1 pixel will hardly be noticed. If you want some sort of 'glow' that is going to be more than one pixel as well.

It would be best if you can give an example of the image(s) you are using.

In the meantime, just standard Gimp tools gets something simple like this.

So what I'm wanting to do is make the pink dot in the center cycle through the RGB colors. I'm trying to do it for a mod in a game, but I'm just not fully sure on how to get the colors to actually change. I have tried using layers and just putting a few different colored pixels in but it would change the position of the image.

Your png is in RGB mode so is OK 
You can get a simple result using Filters -> Animation -> Blend unfortunately the documents leave a little to be desired

https://docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/script-fu-blend-anim.html

In this it goes from one colour to another so needs 3 sets for RGB red > green :  green > blue  :  blue > red
If you make 3 sets they can be joined by opening as layers.

Thanks for the help, it did work and it was exactly what i wanted it to look like in the end. Thanks for making that video to help me figure it out. I think that im gonna mess around with the tools you showed me so i can get an even better understanding of how and when to use it. Much appriciated.
