Actually i have another question.....how do you Uninstall gimp?
Cuz the version i have is 2.7 and that might be the problem because i'f i'm not mistaken thats a experimental version and that might be why i cant animate.and if you can could you give me a link to download the lastest safe version for Windows(My laptop type)?

To uninstall it, on your start menu, find the Gimp folder, it should have "uninstall"
The newest version can be downloaded here [link] and the link that says "Download Gimp 2.6.7" for Windows 2000 and above
Which has just made me realize my version is out of date

That is very strange - it should be working, I can't say what's wrong. Try contacting Gimp? I'm not much of a techy, I'm afraid.

The name of the layer can be anything, as long as you have the millisecond value. I just put frame one because, well, it worked at the time.

Do you have any idea how to animate with a transparent background without having the other frames/layers showing in the background? Thanks
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, I really don't. Sorry, this is the only animating method I know. Try asking an emoticonist, maybe.

Best gimp animation tutorial I've seen so far.
I saw that you can't use transparent animations.....
Is it possible to make lineart on a transparent layer, color on a layer under that, make the BG white under the color layer and mix those layers so you get 1 frame... repeating the steps for the next frame?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think so. You can use transparent layers, it's just that when you animate, anything on the transparent part will show up. I'm sorry if that doesn't make a ton of sense, but if you try it you'll see what I mean. Thank you for the

Do you need to draw the second/other frames? Cant you just make it in another program and then put it there?
