HOW TO MAKE PHOTO ANIMATION IN PHOTOSHOP FULL
Now that you have set up two separate animations in the timeline, it's important to time them to your liking.Let’s say you have a folder full of images that you want to sequence together as frames in an animated GIF. With the Move Tool, move Image_2.jpg out of the frame. Move the playhead forward to the area (tip: keep the keyframe distance the same between images for consistency). Move the playhead forward a few frames and in the Image_2.jpg layer in the timeline, create a Transform keyframe. With the Move Tool, move Image_1.jpg out of the frame. Move the playhead to the area where you want the image to be masked or hidden completely. In the timeline, go to the Image_1.jpg and create a Transform keyframe.

While holding Option (Mac) or Alt (Windows) click in between each image layer to clip it to the rectangle shape. Select all three images in the Layers panel and hover in between each image layer. In the Layers panel, group the rectangle and all three images – make sure the rectangle shape is at the bottom of the three images. Open or drag the images you'd like into the project – I have three all together for this less – which I have named Image_1, Image_2 and Image 3.


This will serve as a container for the photos, which will be clipped inside the frame. You can press space bar on your keyboard to play the animation you have just set up or use the playhead to scrub through the timeline view the animation.įirst, with the Rectangle tool, draw out a rectangle in the project and give it a fill colour of your choice. With the Move Tool, select the text object and move it to area to finish reveal. Move the playhead in the timeline to the area where you want the text to finish animating. With the Move Tool (V as a shortcut) click and move the text to the left until hidden. This will allow you to move the text layer separately without affecting the mask.Ĭreate a Transform keyframe where you want the animation to begin. In the Layers panel, with the text layer selected, click Add Layer Mask. With the Rectangle Marquee Tool – or the selection tool of your choice – make a selection around the text in the project. In the timeline, open the layer dropdown arrowhead on the text layer to animate. Once you are ready to add animation, in the Timeline panel, select Create Video Timeline.
