Animation

Application Used: Photoshop CS4

Instructions

Open Photoshop and make new project.
Go to "File" and click "Place".
Select and open image you want to use in animation.
Add some text, if you want animation to be blinking text (you can also export more pictures).
Go to "Window" and check "Animation".
At the bottom of Photoshop will appear a "box".
At it, there will be one frame.
Duplicate it, so there will be as many frames, as you want. In each frame, one change (ex. text adding) should happen.
Then select first frame, and make everything but background image (step 3) invisible.
Select second frame, and do the same as above. Repete this until, in last frame, everything will be visible.
Click the text "0 sec." under the frame, and select how long you want the frame to be playing.
If you want it to repete all the time, like here, under the frames select Forever. If you want it to be like here make it Once.
Then go to "File", and DO NOT click "Save As", but click "Save for Web & Devices" (text might say only "Save for Web" or "Save optimized as...").
Just hit "Save", and you're done. If you want to see the preview, click "Preview" and it will open in your webbrowser.
