Animations must be saved in GIF format in Gimp.
Work with your graphic as RGB, then index it when
you're done so it can be saved as a GIF. You need
to tell Gimp it's an animation by naming each layer
as:
frame 1(500ms), frame 2(1000ms), etc.
This is where you set the length of time that each
frame is displayed during the animation. Experiment
a bit to get the effect you want.
Hope this helps,
