Post subject: | GIMP newbie, trying to create a fuzzy border on a gif with 383 frames |
GIMP Version: 2.10.36 Operating System: Mac OS OS Version: 14.4.1 GIMP Experience: New User List any relevant plug-ins or scripts: Fuzzy border I have played with GIMP off and on for years doing some very basic stuff. This is my first attempt at trying something way beyond my comfort zone. I thought it would be fairly straightforward.. i just wanted to take a .gif (with 383 frames) and remove the hard edges of the image. So i researched the way to do this, but most of the examples i found just showed how to apply to a single layer image. The closest i have found seems to be part way there but I cant get it to work. 1. Select all. 2. Change Image Mode to RGB (from indexed) 3. Select from Decor: Fuzzy Border, which is a script-fu i believe 4. Select size of border/color, am not flattening image. I want the fuzzy border to be transparent so I can merge it into dark background I then export I know I must be missing something Feeling a little frustrated and stupid right now.. any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks D |

Since you are using a Mac, probably best off with a (old) script-fu utility multiple-layer-actions.scm Attached, put it in your user scripts folder. You look like you are half way there already but for all users and from square one. 1. Filters -> Animation -> Unoptimise (might not be needed) 2. Image -> Mode -> RGB 3. Layer -> Multiple-Layer-Actions and apply to all layers Add Alpha 4. Make a rectangular selection for the border. 5. Selection -> Distort ( used default values but please experiment) 6. Selection -> Invert 7. Layer -> Multiple-Layer-Actions and apply Clear Selection 8. Selection -> None I can just get that into a 1 minute animation. https://i.imgur.com/E59PyaD.mp4
