Quickly Overlay GIF On Still Image | GIMP Tutorial | Nuxttux

Quality of life improvement. If you have a larger gif and don't want to go through every other frame and delete them manually you can use this. Just go into Filters>Python-Fu>Console. Once the console opens, paste the following and hit enter twice. image = gimp.image_list()[0] for (index,layer) in enumerate(image.layers): if index%2: image.remove_layer(layer)

[@nuxttux]

This gets the job done efficiently. Thank you for sharing.

[@orion_paxx]

i dont think this is working anymore :(

[@Bloop42106]

@@orion_paxx I know I am late, but I figured I'd leave this here for anyone who comes later The codes doesn't work because the poster made the variable image and never saved it back to the original image a crude, but functional way to do it is this code for i, x in enumerate(gimp.image_list()[0].layers): if i % 2: gimp.image_list()[0].remove_layer(x)

[@nuxttux]

I do plan on making an updated version of this as I've found a much simpler, code free way of doing this and much more.

[@meidachnate8855]

Bro THANK you!! Exactly what I needed. Gimp's layering system is so bass ackwards, this definitely helped.

[@sabrihamad]

finally. straight to the point. thanks a lot

Thank you!!! This was extremely helpful and directly to the point!

[@beaustee4157]

my background isn't merging with the other layers when i blend but just merging into one frame rather than the whole thing.

Quick question, what key is used to delete the transparent layers? When I use "delete" (I have a french keyboard it says suppr) I delete the picture but not the layer. To do so I click right on the frame then I click on "delete the layer", and when they are over 25 frames to delete it gets tiresome. Thanks a lot for your help (this video was a lot of it already) :)

[@nuxttux]

I recommend taking advantage of GIMPs "Keyboard Shortcuts" feature in the "Edit" dropdown, at the bottom of the list. From there search "Delete Layer" and voilà, you can setup your own keyboard shortcut.

[@TheRealGoofJuice]

Hello, I was wondering how to do this with a still foreground and an animated background?

[@nuxttux]

There's a plugin for GIMP called "ofn-interleave-layers". I talk about it in my SkillShare class. It makes the process a lot easier and more intuitive.

[@agustincontrerasmoiraghira1852]

Great video! Very helpful

[@nuxttux]

I'm glad it could be of help. Thanks

Hey my GIMP software has small icons where do I go to enlarge them everything looks so small for me.

[@nuxttux]

Hi, quick fix. Go to Edit > Preferences > Icon Theme > Custom icon size [it's a drop down menu]; you can handle it from there.

[@nuxttux]

@ If you want them to cover the left panel you have to move the other tabs out of the way. You can click on the other panel's icons and drag them to the other panel.

[@kennyb7403]

Whats the shortcut to delete frames? Might need to know that cause I have a ton of layers and I have to right click and delete each.

[@nuxttux]

The default is usually the "Delete" key (not necessarily backspace). You can modify the shortcut in " Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts "

[@xXLegendOfAceXx]

When i try to blend its greyed out because my layers are not in RGB or Grey Scale color mode, but How do I change them to that so I can blend?

[@xXLegendOfAceXx]

lol my bad I watched one of ur other videos and I fixed it

[@avalon5957]

I can't get this to work, Not really sure why, but the background image will not merge with the layers, so it stays as the first frame of the gif. I've followed every step, making sure I did everything exactly as you did, but it just won't work. :( Good tutorial though (Edit): I know now. It's because all the frames were set to replace, not combine, as yours are. Any fast way to fix this, or do I need to painstakingly rename all layers?

[@nuxttux]

You can set them to replace when exporting the gif. There's a checkbox to overwrite the blend mode.

[@SB-qm5wg]

TY!

You're welcome!

[@VideoNash]

This is good stuff, Thanks... I did subscribe. :)

[@lokeshc]

Thanks, I Just want to fix one image as a background for all layers how I can do that? (I wanted to replace next layers on the same place of previous layers) Like 1,2,3 numbers on the same place but same background

[@nuxttux]

Hi, I'm not sure if this what you're asking for, but you can duplicate the layers you want to repeat. Note that the animated elements can be stacked on top of each other.

[@thegreatdivinie]

I did find the solution to this, but I lost it. I hope to find it again, and if I do I will share it with you.

[@itscesarbtch3451]

How do I do this in my iPhone

[@nuxttux]

Unfortunately I don't have an iPhone to try it out but I did find an app called "XGimp", I haven't used it personally. Proceed with caution.

[@Vaxtin]

Very helpful. Only problem with what I was doing is having to manually adjust the ms delay on over 200 layers to match the original gif.

[@nuxttux]

Hey, thanks for the feedback. If all layers are to have the same ms, you can do that when exporting by overwriting the delay for all, otherwise it can be a long process.

[@Vaxtin]

@@nuxttux Default set is 100ms. Wanted to reduce to match original at 40ms, but make the first frame 2000ms and a middle frame 3000ms. I just left them at 100ms and adjusted the two aforementioned frames.

[@VideoNash]

I have over 2000 layers. Is there any way that I can hold down a key, or other and be able to sellect multiple layers and make any changes/edits all at one time? thanks for your support.

[@nuxttux]

Gimp can make use of scripts. I personally haven't made use of them or written one but it is a possibility. As for holding down a key, I haven't found anything that works.

[@officialtionesco]

Try to press shift or ctrl, with that you should be able to select them. I haven't worked with gimp yet, I'm looking for programs rn, but this should work, if you need help, reply to my comment.

[@nuxttux]

@@officialtionesco That feature hasn't been added to Gimp as of date (selecting multiple layers), although they are working on it.

[@wino2k]

Hi Nuxttux, I got a problem, maybe you can help me out :) Well, I did the same as you, but after I optimized the difference, they are all overlayed instead of replaced (in preview and after exporting). I can't find my problem or how fix it.

[@nuxttux]

When exporting as GIF, you can check the "Use disposal entered above for all frames" checkbox. Make sure you choose "Replace", if that's what you want. But that might work how you'd expect it to. Here's why: When you "Optimize Difference" Gimp substitutes the pixels that repeat. That's why you'll notice mine got set to "Combine", after optimization. I hope that helps.

[@wino2k]

@@nuxttux tnx, that fixed my problem :-)

[@MirzaAbdullahTariq]

How to make looks of Gimp like Photoshop.. plz make easy video on it.

[@nuxttux]

The easiest way is by downloading Gimpshop. It's a Photoshop look-alike of Gimp.

[@Crambri]

I'm doing everything that you are doing In the video, however when I get to the step where you blend the background image to the gif, my blend button is grayed out and I can't click it. Any idea as to why this is happening?

[@nuxttux]

Make sure that your color mode is set to RGB or Grayscale, otherwise it won't work.
