I do this very often.
I am changing a static image into a animated image. So I need to take that one frame image and add 35 identically frames of it. So that means:
Rightclick on the frame > Duplicate Frame
Rightclick on the frame > Duplicate Frame
Rightclick on the frame > Duplicate Frame
Rightclick on the frame > Duplicate Frame
Rightclick on the frame > Duplicate Frame
and so on
and so on
35 times

Is there a way to duplicate frame x 35 times with just a couple clicks or so?
I doubt it but would be so nice if so.

Please and thankyou for any answer.

Use the drawable multiplication script: http://registry.gimp.org/node/22383

Just change the number of copies. Leave the offsets at 0.

I already have it but haven't used it cuz I can never figure what numbers to put in those x and y offset thangs. I hate math :teeth

Don't forget about the duplicate layer button. It's lots faster than right clicking. :hehe

I tried it with three circles, changed it to replace and the speed to 150.

Thanks nixnine !
That looks pretty complicated...so I need more time to look through that.

Thanks GnuTUx!
I didn't notice that Duplicate Layer icon. That really speeds things up fast. Just a quick click for each added frame. Thankyou very much for telling me about that.
I am using that method for now.

This is the kind of stuff I am working on now. I am adding text to an image that I heavily edited and changed.

Then I am animating it so that it looks like it is being typed in. I am doing a whole series of the typewriter animations. So I need to duplicate frames for as many text letters there are.

Bar those are great animations you do.Perhaps you should look into GAP.

Lot's of cool stuff you can do with it. :)

Rod. Thanks for all that info!
➤ Graphic Dictionary is good to keep for reference thanks.
➤ Gimp Rocks looks complicated and advanced but I will eventually check it out when I have more knowledge thanks.
➤ A lot of images in your gallery. I think I like this the most because it looks like you are on mars.

➤ Rod and Molly:
Gap: Scrolling text. That is something I really want to do. Will install that later and start learning it.
Thanks for that info and links Rod and Molly! Image
