Very nice, Wallace. I wanted to do another one today, but brain freeze. Could not think of a good idea. Hopefully, tomorrow.

There's only so much one can do with this theme.
I just started up GIMP and let the image evolve.

All of your contributions are really nice. I long for seeing the video when the date comes.
I have tried to do this one in a loop MP4 but it is closed and no loop at all. So I post it in xcf, too just in case some of you can be so skillful to do it in loop.
I did it two years ago but now I've added text. Thanks a lot.
:oops:

the extension mp4 is not permitted.

Thanks Issabella.
I can convert the gif to an MP4,
then add it to the video.

Our Christmas video is coming along nicely.

Currently,
the video is over 3 minutes long,
with a few different Christmas songs added thus far,
to go along with our images.

Issabella, where is the xcf file? If Wallace can't convert the gif, I can use the xcf and export frames for video conversion.

FYI, a looped video means you can stack it one after another for a smooth continuous flow. A standard video doesn't loop by default, unless the video player is set to looping function.

I already converted the gif to mp4 and placed it in the video.

It's simple text,
with script-fu,
Layer effect Bevel and emboss (inside) added.

Thank you so much Racer and Wallace for your help to convert my gif in video.
Racer, the imagen posted is really the gif file, you can get it by downloading it. Thanks for your explanation but I don't know how to do it or what is the best way to do it. Are there any free converter on the web reliable?
Lyle, how nice your card, too.

Could you share the xcf file, please.
I would really like to recreate the effect. It has so many cool shades.

Sorry,
I didn't save the xcf file.
The different shades of color were made by using Color Curves,
once the image was completed.

Thanks sallyanne and Ella Louise!
