Gif animation with GIMP: animated text

i'll explain this time how to create a text animation using and remember games allows to organize the information in layers and every layer will be an animation frame once we save the filing gif animated the gif sequence will start with your bottom layer and will turn and will run through each layer from bottom to top so the first thing to be done is to open your file in file open as layers show the path to your picture and click on open the idea is to create an animation eliminating the balloon this is why why i'm going to use the eraser just to rub it out and keeping the picture of the girl accompany um by some text for example the word hope and like the animation shows the letters uh in order right so we have some kind of single letters appearing in the right order to read the the word hope um so what i'm going to do is to select the text tool that is here right and i will select the type of of typography for example times bold all right i want this the typography quite big so let's get for example 400 right and use the editor i'm going just to select the color as well and we don't need anything else english english all right so um all right here we have the h and immediately what we have to the right in the layers tab is a new layer okay which contain the h right okay i will type the o i will type the p and finally i will tap the e so as you can see we have every single letter of the word in a new layer what i'm going to do is to organize the letters and i was thinking also the possibility of just rotating them a little bit okay let's see i'm using the move tool moving tool i just just have to click on it and that's it you know sometimes guidelines they help you to organize the information i'm just going to you you can use the guideline just clicking on the rulers at the top and just click and drag up to the point where you want the letters to be to be set okay that's it we are going to try the animation in filters animation and playback this is too big okay let's play alright is done before we save the file there is something else we are going to do is in filters animation we are going to optimize for gif and finally we will file export as hope animation select the file type as gif animated give image sorry gif image is the type of file you have to select and then you have to click on export make sure these options are checked give comment as animation look forever the delay between frames depends on how quick you want to to to change the letters so let's write 200 here and in frame disposal some people check i don't care some people think cumulative layers are much better so if a possibility is fine click on export and reproduce finally your gif document see what happened hope animation reproduce your animation using your browser your 3w browser which might be google chrome safari whatever okay there you are hope you enjoy it
