Insert Animated Gif's into a Sig/Image etc

[matttibb]

How do you insert animated Gifs into a static image? I found a tut and tried it but it wasn't very clear and I had to insert each individual frame of the Gif into a series of the same static image but after the first one I had to remember exactly where I had put it because it didn't show where on the next frame so I had to keep flickin backwards and fowards to make sure the frames were in the same place on the image. This takes much too long and is not practical so there must be an easier way. Any ideas?

the only way i can think of is to open it in imageready, and increase the CANVAS size, then design the surrounding of the sig on a separate layer, and the frames will be in the correct place

yeh you could use layers, just either hide the layer or simply make it transparent so you can see whats behind it and then take it back to normal.
