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..

Hey, Rich2005

Don't think I've ever woken up to a surprise like this in a while. First let me thank you for the constant help and co-operation and thank you for taking the time out to actually do the GIF.

I'm going to make use of the scripts you've sent me, this will make my job that much easier! However, your output image is the same as mine, here's your file in After Effects and Photos

Opening GIF in AE: http://i.imgur.com/H5csTPr.png

Maybe I should stick to GIFS as the background and not logo xD.

But I appreciate all you've done thus far and you've given me scripts and plugins that will help me out in the future.

Thank you again
