How to make the black bg of a gif animation black?
Here is the animation I want to make transparent...

[Monolith]

What you using for making gif.
If you using gimp then you need to make gif from traspa&+%...(whatever that word its called) pictures or open your gif with gimp and try use magic wand

I have both GIMP and PS cs3!
But for this one I used PS cs3...
You can tell em the method for both.

In photoshop CS3 for the animation - delete the black background for each image with the selection tool
then remove the background layers. so the only layer visible is teh image with no black background

[LutiChris]

on Gimp right click on the layer you want to have transparency
then click on...
layer >>> transparency >>> Add Alpha Channel
select the background
and then delete
also it gives u the option (when adding a new layer) to choose if u wanted to have the background in black/white/or transparent
~have fun :P

just set the bucket filling tool to "clear" mod and the tolerance between 5 and 10 and clear the black bg with a click on the black part... that's is for ps

It's solved,i guess,if Sonic don't has other questions.

@Sonic
Change the tittle of this thread,to something more specific,like: "How to make transparent bg?", or "transparent bg in sprite" etc.Because it help us to know about topic since when we read the tittle (tittle has functin,it is helpful).

Also check sprite forum rules:

3. Please use descriptive topic titles - Or at least, use tags. There were countless instances of "my sprites" in the old Sprites forum, so don't go using that, please.
Just think of tags yourself or something, if you wish to use those!

open it on ps
take the magic wand and under th file , select etc... bar u have the wand bar change Tolerance to 0 and un-click the anti alising and Contiguous
now just click anywhere at the black bg u have and delete it than move to the next frame and delte keep delteing it each frame
thats it
now just save it

Help me to fix it!

Here is what i got while making the background transparent.



You should only have this with your sprites:


What i think you did is merge your sprites to a WHITE layer instead of a transparent layer, then you didnt use a low enough tolerance for the magic wand selection.
make sure you have a blank empty layer at the bottom.

How did i pull each of the frames off the gif? Im a Demonic duck that knows the blackest of magic not even used by the most evil of sorcerers. I'm a duck, why shouldn't i be able to use it?
