How to make a GIF with a transparent background?
#7
When you wake up...Wink

Quote:..Because I wanted basically this: http://imgur.com/a/ld5eH without the white parts.
Another image I did not a GIF but it's to serve as an example as how I wanted the GIF to turn out as: http://i.imgur.com/llA671b.png
A circle with nothing behind it, except a gif as the image.

There will be a few ways of doing that but first thoughts.

Get ofnuts plugin interleave-layers-0.4.py from http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-too...s/scripts/ down near the bottom of the list.

That goes in your plugins folder C:\Users\your-name\.gimp-2.8\plug-ins
and still using fenceposts script.

1. Same as before, go into RGB mode
2. Make 2 'templates' same size as the gif. One, white with a center cut-out Two, the reverse of that with a center white.
3. Use ofnuts plugin (bottom of image menu) in title mode with the first template
see: http://i.imgur.com/6nIrB2a.jpg

4. That gets you a new image to work on: http://i.imgur.com/NODZ2kr.jpg
5. Now apply fenceposts script to remove all the white from the layers, gets you to here: http://i.imgur.com/8Ys0VwZ.jpg

That also removes the white stars so to put those back

6. Use ofnuts plugin in sprite mode and the second 'template': http://i.imgur.com/4oVpsYx.jpg

which produces this: http://i.imgur.com/Q61lbfE.jpg

edit: Funny white layer in the middle (layer 32-ish) to remove, otherwise guaranteed to give a headache, optimized to save a little file size, still too big for attaching so..
