Welcome to gimp-forum.net
No need to re-invent the wheel, there are scripts and plugins to merge animations.
Go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-too...s/scripts/ and get (near bottom of list the plugin interleave-layers-0.4.py
That goes in your Gimp profile folder C:\Users\your-name\.gimp-2.8\plug-ins.
Open your animation
1. If the animation is optimized I suggest unoptimise it. Filters -> Animation -> UnOptimize
2. Important change the color mode from indexed to RGB Image -> Mode -> RGB
And it might look like this
The image you want to merge needs to be the same size as the animation and again in RGB mode, so you might need to do some editing there if using an existing graphic.
Back to the Animation
Start up ofnuts plugin Image -> Interleave layers and choose the Title Mode option (1) Make sure you are at the bottom stack (2) and Layer is the overlay image (3)
Run the plugin. It creates a new image. Save as a Gimp .xcf file until certain all editing is complete. Export as a .gif animation.
Bound to be snags, come back with more details of your animation (s) / images
