Animated Avatars

Howdy

I've been trying to edit an animated flames avatar.

My current avatar is just a still of the animated avatar that I wanted to use. I've saved it and the clip contains 14 frames, but when I try to edit it, I can only edit the first frame and I can't delete any frames without deleting the whole thing.

The animated version of my avatar can be found here:

All I want to do is put 'Ofcom' over the animated version. If someone could do this for me I would be grateful. If you could teach me so that I could do it for myself in future, that would be even better!

is this ok?? click on pic for GIF

What app are you using to open the image for editing? Could just be that the app itself doesn't support animated gifs.

I use a portable version of GIMP from portableapps.com for image editing.

I think in this case, you'd need to open the gif and add 'OFCOM' to each of the frames individually.

I'm not at my pc with GIMP on at the moment so can't give it a proper look for you, hopefully others with more knowledge than me will offer better help

this is with black writing but its not as clear click on image for GIF

yes, that was all i wanted to do - add a bit of text. did you use GIMP like munch suggested?

i just googled GIF edit and chose http://www.online-image-editor.com/

wow - simples!

slightly different to what was requested... but the sentiment is there

ok i finally finished my animated avatar but it took lots of messing around to get it down to 20kb without looking totally shite!

if anyone dislikes it they can blame LODOS!
