I download several animated gifs that have white backgrounds. I want to make the background transparent. I am new to Gimp and feel totally overwhelmed. This is what I have tried: I open the gif. I right click on the image. I choose "Layers". "Add alpha channel" is not an option -- it is listed but it is not dark like the available options and when I click on it, nothing happens. At the very top of the "Layers" dialog window (above all the other choices including "Add alpha channel") is "Layers, Channels &Paths. When I click on that and images of the individual frames of the gif show up. One of the frames says background but it has the whole image there--not just a background color. The other frames show the white background color with image. I tried deleting the frame that says background and the frame is deleted but when I run the animation, the white background is still there. The animation may be a little faster because of the frames is gone. I'm lost. How do I change the background to transparent? Please tell me very simply and in detail what I need to do.
