Sparkle animations are a great way to add some pizzazz to your photos or designs. They’re also relatively easy to create in Photoshop. In this article, we’ll show you how to create a sparkle animation in Photoshop using the Timeline panel and some simple animation techniques.

First, open the image you want to animate in Photoshop. Then, create a new layer and add some sparkles to it. You can use the Brush tool to create your own sparkles, or you can download a sparkle brush set like this one from Brusheezy.

Once you have your sparkles on their own layer, open the Timeline panel (Window > Timeline). Then, click the “Create Frame Animation” button at the bottom of the panel.

In the dialog box that appears, make sure that “Forever” is selected from the “Loop drop-down menu. Then, click “OK.”

Next, you’ll need to convert your sparkle layer into a frame animation. To do this, select your sparkle layer and click the “Convert to Frame Animation” button at the bottom of the Timeline panel.

Now that your layer is a frame animation, you can add keyframes to it. Keyframes are simply points in time where you want the animation to change. In our case, we want our sparkles to appear and then disappear.

To add a keyframe, first make sure that your playhead is at the point in time where you want the change to occur. Then, click the “Add Keyframe” button at the bottom of the Timeline panel. This will add a keyframe marker to your timeline.

Next, make a change to your image on the frame associated with that keyframe marker. In our case, we want to make our sparkles disappear, so we’ll simply delete them from our layer.

Once you’ve made your changes, move your playhead to another point in time and repeat the process. Add another keyframe and make another change. In our case, we’ll add our sparkles back in.

Keep adding keyframes and making changes until you’re happy with your animation. When you’re done, press play and watch your sparkle animation come to life!
