When you want to create a motion animation, there are a few things you need to know before you get started. First, you need to have a general idea of what you want your animation to look like. This will help you determine the frame rate and resolution you need.
Next, you need to gather the necessary equipment and software. Finally, you need to have a plan for your animation.
To create a motion animation, you will need:
- A computer
- Adobe Photoshop
- A graphics tablet (optional)
- A digital camera (optional)
Once you have gathered all of the necessary equipment, you are ready to start animating! The first thing you need to do is create your canvas.
To do this, open Adobe Photoshop and create a new document. The size of your document will depend on the resolution of your final animation. For example, if you want your animation to be 1920×1080, your document should be 1920×1080 pixels.
After you have created your canvas, it’s time to start adding frames! To do this, create a new layer for each frame of your animation. If you are using a digital camera, take a picture of each frame. If you are not using a digital camera, simply draw each frame on your graphics tablet or draw each frame on a separate piece of paper and scan it into your computer. Once you have all of your frames scanned or photographed, open each one in Adobe Photoshop and copy and paste it onto its own layer in the project file. Now that all of your frames are in place, it’s time to animate them!
To do this, go to the ‘Window’ menu and select ‘Timeline’. This will open up the Timeline panel. In the Timeline panel, click on the ‘Create Frame Animation’ button. This will create an empty timeline for your animation. Now, select all of the layers containing your frames and drag them into the timeline so that they appear in order from first frame to last frame.
At this point, you may want to add some transitions between your frames. To do this, select the first frame of your animation and click on the ‘Tween’ button at the bottom of the Timeline panel. A dialog box will appear; in this dialog box, select ‘Frame Duration’ and enter the amount of time (in seconds) that each frame should appear on screen.
Then select ‘Frames to Add’ and enter the number of frames you want to add between each existing frame. Finally, click ‘OK’. Your frames should now have transitions between them!
If everything looks good, it’s time to export your animation! To do this, go to the ‘File’ menu and select ‘Export’.
In the Export dialog box that appears, select ‘Animated GIF’ from the Format drop-down menu and click ‘Export’. Another dialog box will appear; in this dialog box, select how many colors you want in your final GIF file and click ‘OK’. Your motion animation is now complete!
Creating a motion animation is a fun and easy way to bring life to your photos! With just a few simple steps, anyone can create an animated GIF in Adobe Photoshop
