GIF render help?

Kiwi · 12-07-2012

I guess gif render is the right way to put it.

I found a gif and was playing around with it today, trying to remove the background from it. http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mb...1o1_r1_500.gif This is that gif. It was the first one I found because I decided to look for one of sandshrew. Huzzah. I'm using GIMP to do it.

However, it came out like that. How do I fix this? Also, I was wanting transparency in the background. I made it black to see if that made a difference, though it clearly wouldn't.

Help appreciated?

also, realize there are a few errors in the background removal as well, but that wasn't my top priority. I'm just playing around with it.

So I want to do it for this:

edit: nevermind, got it to work

I just need to get rid of that little border
anyone have any idea what I was doing wrong?

I've had this happen to me before. My theory about it is the speed is set too fast and the .gif creator that's being used can't process it to it's maximum potential.

Take time on each layer of the gif and fix up the border by erasing the black one pixel at a time to make it look smooth.

You probably have your frame disposal set on either 'I don't care' or 'cumulative layers (replace)', which layers the frames on top of each other, so any transparencies the top layers have will show the previous layers behind it. You need to set it on 'one frame per layer (replace)'. You know those two pop-up windows that happen when you save it as a gif? On the second pop-up:
