GAP has series of functions to help you manage frames. You don’t have to copy the file yourself to add a frame. xcf images, so that you can work with layers the same way as you do in static images. The rest needs to be exactly the way shown. Create a separate directory for the file, it will fill with many frame files soon. To be able to work with GAP you need to save it in GIMP’s native format. This will create a new white image we’ll use as a base for our animation. Now drag the background layer from the static image to the GIMP toolbar. Gimp will download the compressed image and open it for you. In GIMP, choose Open Location from the toolbox File menu and paste the URL there. In case this doesn’t work for you, copy the link by selecting Copy Target or Copy Link Location from the image context menu accessible by right-clicking on the image. To load it into GIMP, just drag the image above to the GIMP toolbox. To make things easier, we’ll start with a ready-to-go static image. Please go to the “ Using GAP” tutorial to learn more about the tool. The key function of the GAP is the move path dialog.
