Compose and tile animated gif with a photo

[gregory]

Hello,

I have a small transparent animated gif and would like to compose it with a bigger gif/jpeg/png photo.
I tried to use "composite" tool using the following command but got "invalid colormap index" error:
composite transp_animation.gif photo.gif result.gif

I also found the following example but it doesn't have "tile" option and just put the animation into the center of the photo:
convert -size 300x200 photo.gif null: \( transp_animation.gif -coalesce \) -gravity Center -layers Composite -layers Optimize

Could you please help me? I need to tile animated gif on a photo.
Thanks in advance!

What are you wanting to tile, the background picture or the forground animation.

For the background see 'tilinng images

for the foreground animatoion see.. 'Glitter Tiles'

The latter uses a 'distort' technique from the former. This works with a multiple images, so can be used with coalesced animations.
