Gimp Help!

[UltimateVictini]

I need help on how to get a gif image online to Gimp 2.6 ! Help would be greatly appreciated!


EDIT: Thanks for your help kyogre, but it still wont show up. Here's an example:

If you need to know if I have the img code on, then yes I do. I saved the file as a .gif.

do you mean getting an animated image that you found on the internet into GIMP?

if you do, then . . .

1. Right-click the animated image, .gif, and Save it.
2. Boot up GIMP, open the .gif, and it will come out as layers
3. If you want to see it playback, go to Filters>Animation>Playback, or something like that

oh, so you're using it for UB's.
Once you open up the .gif as layers, you have to duplicate the bar as many times as there is .gif layers, and merge down.

. . . that sounds confusing xD
So let me explain.

X = .gif layer
A = bar layer

So . . .

(many X layers)
(one A layer)

If you have, let's say, 13 X layers, then you duplicate the O layer 12 times.

And put them like this . . .

X
A
X
A
X
A

Then go to the first set of 'X' and 'A' set, and Merge Down.
Do the same with the rest of the sets.
And go to Filters>Animation>Playback.

Well, that's how I do my animation banners with 13-or-less frames, so I just applied the thing to UB's.
BUT I'm sure there's a less tedious process, I suggest asking someone like Mew_, Sweet May, Novan_hero, etc. someone who does animated userbars.
