Awesome this is producing the effect that I am looking for.
However, due to my lack of expertise I am having trouble doing what I need. Let me know if you have any ideas.
I am trying to get a gif where only part of the image flutters and the other stays static. I don't know how to upload a pic here so I will describe it. The picture has two objects in it. 1 is a flame and the other is a semi circle. I just want the flame to flutter and the semi circle to be static. However when I run the scripts it animates everything. The rippling script that I am using just makes many frames of my original image and applies distorts that produce the fluttering effect. Is there an easier way than generating the frames and then going back and adding the static image to the frames and going through the trouble of making sure it aligns perfectly well on all frames so that it in fact remains static?
Sounds like you need Saul Goode's Combine/Overlay Background script:
http://gimpscripts.com/2011/10/combineo ... ackground/Just create your objects on separate layers (flames uppermost), run the ripply-anim script on the upper layer and then run:
FX-Foundry>Animation>Combine with background
This will add the lower layer (the semicircle) as background in every frame of the animation.
