not just that the whole process has got me whacked there are still some confusing parts from kina animation tutorial (probably because kina uses something other than gimp which is what i use....i know they are basically the same

Spoiler for for space:

(can't get the correct quote)
"Make a new layer right on top of the text you want to animate.. and fill it with a color.. I choose white for simplicity..." the layer kina is talking about isn't transparent or is it???

"Next choose the gradient tool (1), and set a foreground color ... I choose black (contrast to white) then set the gradient to foreground to transparent in (2) then set it to reflected gradient style (3) make a tiny gradient.."

i understand step 1(kinda) but how do you set it on reflected gradient??? i don't see the tool bar in the picture kina provided

"Get the animation window window->animation.. Make a 2nd frame...On the 1st frame.. move the gradient layer to the begining of the text.. Select the 2nd frame and move the gradient layer to the end of the text."
gimp doesn't have a animation window right?? it has animation filters is that the same thing???

those are some of the questions ive had hopefully they're not common sense questions (cause i would hate to be wasting someone's time)
