I can not reproduce that last bit . Transparency shows in the Gimp editor and also the Gimp animation playback window.

Hey, Rich,
I had to listen to the video at least 5 times. Your voice is just absolutely amazing I couldn't believe it. Should be on Television or Radio or even acting!
Appreciate the video, I understand what you're saying, as it relates to the transparency being affected by different applications, unfortunately for me, After Effects doesn't show it's transparency, ah well. You win some, you lose some.
Thanks for the help, Rich and your valuable time, I appreciate it!

The whole thing works. So the next step is to try with the GIF you exported.
Btw, you have an extra black background frame that you may want to remove, and you should really be using "replace" mode.
Hey, Ofnuts
Thanks for your help, from Rich's video it seems it shows up differently using different applications, in GIMP it's transparent and in other applications it's solid.
The replace mode, I've read up just now it replaces pixels of one colour with another, where exactly should I have done that in this GIF as opposed to what?
