Glowing Effect in areas of Gif
#1
So, I have taught myself a lot of gimp, but I am not an artist and sometimes lack the basic vocabulary to even know how to search for what I want to learn how to do.  I want to make a gif where the background is static and have a very slight "glow" or "pulse" effect in a particular spot or along an outline or even more simply, along a line.  I dont even know what to call it or how to search for it.  Ive made a lot of gifs and understand layers ok enough, but this simple thing seems to be escaping me.

Two examples.  They are more advanced than what I need to do but show it well.:

https://us.v-cdn.net/6025736/uploads/edi...ak8zl3.gif - the glowing pulse, top right under his name.

https://us.v-cdn.net/6025736/uploads/edi...wsiv8q.gif - the glowing propagating yellow line that reaches out to each portrait.



Maybe I think it should be too simple, but along a line it seems like I should be able to do some motion blur along a line over 4-5 layers but I feel like I am doing it the hard way.  Its also possible that the linked images are not possible with gimp, and that is fine too.  I just dont know how to describe it well enough to search for it myself.  Thanks in advance.
