Gimp Gif Query

[Mr. Greengoat]

Hmm, I am not the big GIMP expert but I think GIFs work like this:

Each of your smaller animated gifs have a number of "frames" that are enclosed in the file. Gimp would probably open each of these tiny images as separate images to edit.

What you would have to do is open your "large" gif with the main scene and cut and paste from the smaller gifs into the "frames" of the large gif. Kind of like pasting pages from a small flip-book into a larger flip-book.

That is just my guesstimate of what it takes.

That's pretty much how it works for animated gifs... when you open one in gimp, it shows each frame as a layer...

so what I would do is open one of the animated gifs in GIMP, then expand the canvas (image -> canvas size) to the size you need for all the animation you want. When doing this GIMP offers an option to resize layers, tell it to resize all of the layers...

Then open your other animated gifs in GIMP, and simply copy visible information into the appropriate layer on your resized gif... When you save it, it'll make the animation again, combining your gifs as one large animated gif...
