GIMP cannot create GIF images

The sentence ‘Delay inserted to prevent evil CPU-sucking anim’ means that a delay is necessary for everything to work properly. If there is a 0 ms delay  (=no delay at all), this could make the computer wait for more than a month between every frame and this would take an unnecessary amount of time and power.

The reason for this error might be a blank layer on top of others. To check this out, press Ctrl+L and delete blank layers from the list that appears.
