How to edit animated GIFS

Removing a background colour from an animated GIF was one of my tasks recently, and not having a clue how to do this, I spent a bit of time looking into it.

I had to remove the green background and make it transparent.

It is easy enough if I wanted to pay someone to do it, but I wanted to try to learn myself.

For a simple job like that, there seemed no point in buying a program for it, although at some stage, if I want to get something more complex, I may well begin looking at the other options for GIF Makers.
