Oh this is super helpful and detailed, thank you. (Especially the multiple animation gifs. First time I saw them I was like what is this sorcery?)

...now if only I had the time to actually, you know, practice this. :\

[taxcha]

once you're used to it, it wouldn't take long to figure things out.
I'm sure you'll make pretty animations! :)

Also, I have a question, I don't understand how to make multiple gifs in one like this one. I can never seem to get it right, can you help me? :)

So, I don't save the PSD or have screencaps on the steps, but cos you mastered the basics, I'm sure you'll be okay with just description.

What I do is kind of manual.
- First I paste the frames before selection so I have two separate animations that starts at different timing.
- I make 2 backgrounds : still picture of the top, and still picture of the bottom animation.
- I set this background to be visible by the time the animation is running by manually toggling them for each frame.

My English is shit /o\

Do you get it? I can make screencaps too, I think it's better since I'm bad at explaining things, lol.

Thank you so much! I will definitely try this when I can.
I think I understand but I have to wait until I can devote time to trying to do this, ahah.
You explained fine! Thank you! :D
