I made this video as an example of what i am trying to do. I am trying to make an animated .gif to use as desktop wallpaper. I've successfully done this, but the only thing i am trying to fix is the background colors. As you can see, the background color is black. I want to make the background transparent, so you only see the 4 photos. Does anyone know how to accomplish this task? I am searching everywhere on the web, but i can't find out how to do it.

please help, if you can. Does anyone here use Gimp? Can i remove the black borders with it?

thanks!

Or you may be able to use this same method with your existing software.
