Photoshop: Animation for Glitter Graphics

Video Transcript

"Now that we've got all of our layers for our little sparkly, what we're going to do is, we're going to go ahead and finish it up by animating it. So what we've got here is, I have-oops. Let's go back into our program here. I have my animation bar open. Now I open my bar by going to "Window, Animation." And, of course, it will pop right open. So what I've started with is, when you open your animation bar, you're going to get one layer here that's going to show you, just initially, what you have up right now. So what we're going to do is, we're going to grab a second part, and just go ahead and copy it, like so. And within this one, I'm going to go ahead and open it up to the second layer. So now it's modified. If you hit "Play," you can see it's going to flash between the two. It's going to flash rather fast. So what we're going to do is, we're going to add a little something in here. So what we're going to do is click on both of them, and click our Tweens parameters here. And it's going to say "Add Frames." Now let's add-let's add three. That looks good. So, if we do it, there we go. Now we've got a nice little bling going on. So, now what we're going to do is, we're going to go ahead, and we're going to copy this layer over. Once again, this last one that we have here. Copy it once again, like so. And we're going to go ahead and open up to our last layer. So, now we have this. And as we did before, we're just going to go ahead and add some Tweens in here. Click on it, like so. Frames to add-we'll go ahead and add three, like we just did previously. And now we'll push "Play." And as you can see, it blinks. Let's stop it, and let's go ahead and maximize this. Actually, let's zoom in just a little bit, because we're really far out. There we go. And as you see, if we press it, it's going to flash, just like so. And as you can do, you can add extra ones all around here. And, you know, put them in alternating order, so they don't all flash at the same time. But there you have it. There's your glitter graphic animation. So play around with it, have fun, and enjoy."
