Here is a quick and dirty tutorial for transparencies using the Magic Wand tool.
I used Ulead GIF animator 5 Free version

as an example.

Spoiler for Ulead transparency:

Step 1.) Open an existing .GIF animation.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 2.) Now we must select the object and frame that we want to work on. I suggest we begin by selecting the first frame and object.
(Observe the eye carefully on the objects section, it shows you the current object you will be making tranparent.)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 3.) Select all of these, Make sure Similarity is set to 0 and connected pixels is checked or else your magic wand will scatter all over.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 4.) Use the Magic Wand to magically select a region that you want to make transparent.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 5.) Press Delete to remove the unwanted parts and there

! transparencies.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 6.) Select the next frame and object and repeat steps 4 & 5 if you still want to continue

******* You can also use the Eraser tool and Selection (rectangle/elipse) tool to make transparencies***********

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If there is something not clear just tell me and i will gladly explain it a little bit further
