Thank you guys, especially GeeMack. I have obviously got a lot to learn but thank you GeeMack for such an excellent explanation and your final command worked perfectly for me.

Altered the command to convert sensors.gif -background white -flatten -background none null: -delay 5 \( \( lcars_anim2.gif \) -geometry +150+210 \) -layers composite -layers optimize sensors.gif and it now looks a bit better but not right as yet. See http://devacs.za.net/sensors2.gif and you may ...

Using the following command convert lcars_screen_1b.png -background white -flatten -background none null: -delay 5 \( lcars_anim2.gif \) -geometry +150+210 \) \( fwscan.gif \) -geometry +550+280 -layers composite -layers optimize sensors.gif and end up with what can be seen at http://devacs.za.net ...

As you can see I worked out that your commands had nothing to do with DEVACSST.png ...

Sorry that I missed telling you that I am using ImageMagick 6.8.9-9 Q16 i586 2015-01-05 on Debian Jessie Linux system. DEVACSST.png is the background page and stlogorotating.gif is the animated image I need to apply to the background. I do not understand where DEVACSST.png fits into your commands or ...

I forgot to mention that I would also appreciate getting rid of the "hiccup".

I have two images, one .png and the 2nd .gif.
