To animate words on GIMP, you can follow these steps: 1. Open GIMP and create a new file with the dimensions you want your animation to be. 2. Select the text tool from the toolbox on the left-hand side of the screen. 3. Choose a font and type out the text you want to animate. 4. Use the move tool to position your text where you want it to be. 5. Duplicate the text layer by right-clicking on the layer in the layers panel and selecting "Duplicate Layer." 6. Make sure the new duplicated layer is selected, and then use the move tool to move it slightly in the direction you want it to animate. 7. Repeat step 6 as many times as you want, moving the duplicated layer a little more each time to create the animation effect. 8. Once you have all the layers you want for your animation, go to "File" > "Export As" and choose the file type you want to export your animation as (e.g. GIF, APNG, or MPEG). 9. Adjust any export settings you need to, and then click "Export" to save your animation. That's it! You now have an animated text effect in GIMP.
