Simple GIF Animation - Photoshop Tutorial

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ม.ค. 2018
  • This is a tutorial teaching the basics of animating and making gifs in adobe photoshop cc. There are two ways to animate in photoshop. The first way is to animate everything frame by frame, using this technique you can create smoother and more interesting animations but it's far more time intensive. The second way to animate a gif in photoshop is to create a video timeline. By converting photoshop layers to smart objects you're given control of where elements are placed and photoshop will fill in the movement by itself. By only creating two key frames photoshop will make the elements of your gif on it's own. I hope you enjoy the tutorial and get some useful tips out of it. This animation tutorial is not meant to be an in-depth tutorial but rather teach you the fundamental process so you can use the information to work on and build your own projects. To be able to explore the limits of photoshop's animating abilities on your own.

    Hey guys! This tutorial hopefully shows the very basics of animating with the video timeline in Photoshop! Hope it's useful to some, have a nice weekend : )

      which shortcut key do you use to create key-frame after you tilted the body?

      this is cool, .. is there a benefit to animation frame by frame in photoshop, to achieving this result in after effects ?

    • @lilyjones2811

      Hey Zimri, how do I make a smart object break down into its individual components when transferring objects from Illustrator to Photoshop for this? I made objects in Illustrator to make into GIFS, but when I import them in Photoshop as a smart object it just clumps it all together.
      Also, what button do you push to get the second little placer on the timeline after you push the stopwatch? For example, at 2:13 after you pushed the stop watch you then moved his body to look downwards, then pushed another button to get the white little marker you see at 2

    • @1notnilc

      ​@@lilyjones2811- You need to drag each element of your object (that you want to animate) from illustrator to Photoshop. This will bring them in on separate layers in your Photoshop document. For example. A head, body, the arms and a background each on individual layers.
      For the placer. You just mouse click where you want it. Hope you don't mind me jumping in! :)

    • @zimrimayfield
      @zimrimayfield  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Heyyy yes, it's very similar - it seems like it's much harder to make a smoother motion though - I don't think there's an automatic "easy-ease" you could apply to the motion like in after effects : P

      Render it first in Adobe Media Encoder and automatically it will be saved as a gif in it's specified AME folder. Later you can open it in photoshop and export it to save for web, saving for web will reduce the file size.

    What about the SAVING aspect of this? How big was that GIF when you saved it? A lot of times if you are doing an animated GIF for a client, where it will be shown has some sort of FILE SIZE limit. Does this animation save as like a tween? Or does it convert to frames and then bloat up file size?

    • @uulili
      @uulili 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I found a solution: File - Export - Save for Web(Legacy), then at the popup window, change the preset to GIF and click save, you'll get the gif file. I believe there're much more settings to control the size in the popup window as well.
