Disaster from duplicating all the frames of a GIF

For just the first three frames. The text moves, background remains static.

I would go.
Un-optimise.
Convert to RGB,
Rename the layers (I used 0, 1 , 2 but anything a, b, c for example). Save as a xcf.

Now, add to the 3 layers by File -> Open as Layers that xcf you just saved.
That gets you something like this screenshot. https://i.imgur.com/wnRvTzo.jpg

(any editing, extra text etc, now is the time to do it)

Still in RGB mode, optimise that. https://i.imgur.com/Y3iDN1E.jpg A single layer will look 'speckled', there is a new set of layer names so..Go and export that as an animation, setting disposal to combine and delay to some value. https://i.imgur.com/bTiurLq.jpg

Open your Indexed gif and it should be OK. Layer names correct format..etc  https://i.imgur.com/xqPY1aS.jpg

edit. moved those additional layer, bit of colouring, added some text, delay upped to 200 ms

I'm thrilled to have a method that works, thank you!! The color is a nice touch! Why does just duplicating all the layers NOT work?
