"Now we are going to learn how to make things move in Photoshop for animation if you will. So first of all we have got to start a new document and keep it on the web settings there that we have and bring that to the middle a little bit more. Now we need to open up a window that doesn't always come up. You have got to go into the Window area up here and here is all your hidden tools that is up there and we are going to go to animation this one here and click on that and we can get a little bar on the bottom here that should pop up. What we want to do is say we make a little ball and make a red ball and draw that shape right there like that. Now on your animation window we are going to click and make four or five different animation styles and we are going to go to the second one and I am just using the arrow keys and you can use your mouse too. I'm going to knock it off a little bit to the right, actually it is usually easier if you do it like this so once we move that see it has moved a little bit more. Now we want to duplicate that layer and move it up to the side a bit more, duplicate that layer and do the same. It is going to keep doing that until it gets where we want it to, so let's press play and you can say we got a start of the animation of the ball moving. We can change how quickly we want that to do that if you don't want it to be that far we can move it up the point tool a second or whatever you want and it is going to look a little bit more slow mo. So that is basically the start of it anyway I mean you can spend hours doing different animation. If you want to draw different cells or make texts flash on and off like the sea under water or an animated balance on the web you can do all that kind of stuff by using this animation feature on Photoshop. That's how we move things on Photoshop."
