How to Create an Animated GIF With GIMP

[flaqui62]

How do you rename the layer?

[ERTTaskForce]

We have the same last name!

[bcutee11]

how do you open that Layers Box thing?

[RGavin11]

@bcutee11 If you haven't already figured it out , it's at the bottom of the Windows tab.

[yearofrolling]

The first three videos I watched on this topic were junk but your video worked great.

Way shorter, too.

PS, I think I'm going to have to continue saying gif even though jif is correct, sorry.

[KaboomPeoplez]

@nrdmonkey42 try toclick the eye button before the layer until you're using that layer.

[GunnerArchie]

i find the how to download portion pointless wouldent you assume everyone watching this has gimp? otherwise good video.

[BladesOfMunch]

Suppose you wanted to make very smooth animation, does GIMP have the 'onion skin' feature or must you use the opacity scale in that Layers window?

[NerdMonkey42]

Thank you! I was getting frustrated having done this a hundred times before. I knew I must have been doing something wrong, and it turned out I was putting a space between the value and the ms instead of all one word. By the way, don't let your battery get so low. You're freaking people out. XD

[TDLBallistic]

So, I'm trying to make a gif that is transparent. Obviously the other layers are showing behind it. Any way to help me?

[RobotoDomo]

Thank you! This video removed my frustration! THANKS! :D

[TamarRei]

Thank you! This was very useful.

[MultiXperiaX8]

Go charge your battery. Hahahah

[CnJz96]

He's lucky his cpu didn't shut off in the middle of this lol

[SUPERPEDOPENGUIN]

I DONT HAVE A LAYER TAB.

[Kogedonboluver1]

@SUPERPEDOPENGUIN You have to go to Tool>Dockable DIalogs>Layers

OR

Open GIMP> press ctrl+L

Either or of those should open up your Layers Box/Tab

[Kogedonboluver1]

@SUPERPEDOPENGUIN Woops! I made a smal mistake.

Windows>Dockable Dialogs>Layer

[IAMAMEGAMANpunch]

PLUG YOUR DAMN COMPUTER IN YOU IDIOT

[Molly2707Productions]

Thank you so much!

[Samiesmiles9]

When I post the gif on tumblr, it doesn't animate :\

[germlongify]

@Samiesmiles9 Same here!

[xandertravis]

@Samiesmiles9 just upload it to photobucket first and then use the html code in a text post on tumblr :)

[TuEstGros]

@Samiesmiles9 That´s because maybe Tumblr doesn´t support Animated GIF´s

[Samiesmiles9]

@TuEstGros ... Yes it does!

[generthp]

ooh low battery XD

[omgfeliciaomg]

i love you.

[TheNinsega101]

Nice tutorial. Need to make a animated avatar for my friend. Nice video

[AssassinRecruit]

This is great, but does this work on the Mac version of GIMP? I really hate myself for choosing a Mac over a PC.

[mrjamestheawsome]

@AssassinRecruit yes it basicly works the same way with all systems

[jkichigo]

Ok when i view my animation it works fine except when it goes to the next frame, the last one doesnt disappear? What do i do?

[Ashleyink1990]

Its not working for me :-/ I have the latest version of gimp and I did everything this guy said. But when I save it and click to view it. nothing happens. Help?

[Aschenstern]

[TradeMgmt]

Dave! In the veritable sea of attempts to explain things, you seem to provide a clear and easy-to-understand oasis of simplicity. Many thanks!

[Tsukidra]

thankyou guy, you are right to the point i love you (no homo)

[lexmark136]

I can't seem to find that "layers" box on the right, someone plz tell me where I can.

[GreyJay182]

@lexmark136 click on dialogues and then layers and it will appear. May be different on different versions of GIMP

[jojotogo10]

Hi Dave,

As someone who frequently searches(but rarely finds) good instructional videos - its a breath of fresh air to find a video, that explains, clearly & succinctly a topic.

great video & do keep them comming!

D.

[MotorDuck1]

This guys looks like a gimp, let alone he's doing tutorials about it lol!

[soldierboy1231]

At the last second <-- 2 blinks... Dun dun dunnnnnn

[brittlaughlove]

Wow this is amazing! You taught it real well and quick (possibly due to the fact that your laptop was nearly dead) but still, thanks so much!!

[biteapple1999]

THX DUDE!

I mean

Thank you sir.

[FerociousApplesauce]

[MrDevin712]

[PammieChan]

@MrDevin712

[alexlovesjane2]

Thank you!!! :DD

[rstoned]

Thank you so much

[redroseandvalentines]

Thank you so much for making a quick video tutorial about making a gif file! :)

My Digital Media professors recommend these 8-10 minute videos, but this is short, sweet, and TO THE POINT! Thanks so much! I am not as nervous to make this gif project anymore!

[trampolinegods4life]

Not this guy again..

[fliperthedragoness]

YOU ROCK!

[biteapple1999]

@fliperthedragoness You're a "Dragon-ESS" O.o

[HeliosRoxas]

Thumbs up if you saw that guy accidentally type and backspace ''1000km''

[Bluecho4]

Thank you very much for making a tutorial that's not only easy to understand, but also quick. My internet connection is slow, so I appreciate a video that doesn't take the whole day to load.

[nickpxalternative]

this helped soo much!! ty! :DD

[RandomPandaChick]

I love your accent!!

[RnKz118]

[rafaelbros64]

Save Ass 2:38

[TGGxTheGamerGuy]

How can I add my .gif as my Youtube Profile picture? I see people with theirs animated all the time lol

[StevenGamingTV]

@TGGxTheGamerGuy well it's an old way, but we cant do it anymore, it is patched by google because they want to save more bandwidth, it used to be renaming the gif file to .png , only those who had it before can keep it

[stealthfire231]

thanks!

[SirBlindShot]

Hi! I'm Dave Adrwes and I'm a pedophile

[Jordadahhh14]

@SirBlindShot Good, I'm not the only one.

[SirBlindShot]

@Jordadahhh14

I was joking xD

[stealthfire231]

i had all the windows BUT the layers window! what should i do?

[CityLights1348]

@stealthfire231 Hit ctrl+L

[jackiechan511]

When I try saving it under .gif, I get an error message that says "Delay inserted to prevent evil CPU-sucking animation" with an exclamation mark? Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?

[LoneWolfNero]

Is it possible to make one from a video?

[Heemsky]

<_< i was listening to this loud and when you said save as my brother thought you said Save Ass......-.-

[newfrs]

When I was watching this I had low battery too.

[zukaka84]

This short video was more helpful than those long videos with lots of bla bla bla.

[themasternazgul]

Great little tutorial. Nice an simple, I like.

[TheTechnoTurf]

[MegaHaha1000]

Thank so much, now I can do GIF signatures.!! :)

[slegi92]

I was searching long how to do that but only you really helped ! Thanks :)

[butseente]

Thank you so much! I've had Gimp for long, but I had Photoshop before Gimp so I've sticked to Photoshop, but it doesn't give me the chance to make gif animations. So it was great to see that gimp is an excellent gif maker ^^

Great vid!!

[WhiteSnake95]

now i understand, thx

[thechampHLR]

thx

[maggiedavis0292]

how did you get your layers to be up on the side like that, so you can rename them?

[HTTRedskins4Life]

Go to windows, dockable dialogs, and then layers.

[crimsonregret01]

thank you - this really helps :)

[gilalicious3]

what milisecondS? i dont get it

[HTTRedskins4Life]

type (1000ms) after the name of the layer and hit enter.

[dakingisgman]

nice work
