I have been working on an abstract bubble background. There are perhaps ten layers, but I only animate three of them by manually clicking one three different layers and using layer/ transform/offset and changing the values with wrap on and then saving the file with a new sequential name. Is there already a script that does this, or is there one that is close to it that is easily adaptable? I use three different settings, x 6 y 6, x 4 y 4, and x 2 y 2. I like the effect, but I want to be able to do it quicker with other work that I create. It took me all day to do the 250 frames that I made before it was loopable. Any suggestions?

This can probably be done with GAP, do you have that installed?
Gimp Gap

Yes, I have GAP installed. The player was useful while I was creating it if I got distracted and wanted to make sure that I didn't lose my place in the process. I didn't see anything that lets me make 3 different layers change positions at 3 different rates. Am I missing something?

When using GAP, one generally starts with an image containing a single background layer and then runs "Video->Duplicate Frames" to create all of the other frames in the image.

Next one would create their moving "object" in a separate image, then (in the original image) use "Video->Move Path" to import that object to each of their frames, specifying a path along which the object is supposed to move. The speed of the object is controlled by the length of the path.

This is repeated for the other objects.
