For animated gifs, they're composed of multiple images in 'frames'. All
you'd need to do is copy the image, and paste into another new file, and
there it is. If you're thinking of half an image on alternating frames,
you'd get this flickering effect, but still if some had similar software, it
would be possible to create a complete image from your separate bits.
The only good solution is to pack a watermark into your image. For that you
need a graphics editor and save the resultant image with no other layer
info.
Layers and transparency are the key words.
