  • Get a grip.

    No-one uses a moving avatar on youtube. They're used on other sites.

    If that's alright with you?

    Dickhead.

  • @Jordy1191 Actually, soe people do. go to MaceXII's Channel to see his.

  • @ajtheflamez Yes, those comments were posted over a year ago.

  • I couldn't find layers on mine. :(

  • There's since been a newer version since I posted this. Layers you can now find, if for example you click on eraser - then down where the eraser settings are, (like opacity) there's a litle arrow. Click it and go on add tab. From there you get lots of choices, one is layers. Then it'll open a layers tab for you. It's much more complicated now I think but hey .........

  • ok its weird on mac...

  • @Jordy1191 i'm trying to make a grudge one to where it fades in and out but it just shows it plain it stupid!!!! :'(

  • It's a shame Facebook won't allow moving avatars for another year or so! I have some funny ideas for one!

  • i have sony vegas 10.0 and for some reason it will not read my image that i made in gimp

  • 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?

    When I view my animation, there's always these brief periods of "white" screens that interrupt the animation.

  • @Sparkythehedgehog878 or instead of doing that u could go to windows which is on the top of your picture and go to the recently removed and u'll find it

  • Good tutorial. Thanks

  • I did everything right but when I opened it, it didn't play, btw it didn't ask me if I wanted to flatten the image or save it as an animation.
