Falon Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Hi Damien, I’d love to learn how to create those animated photos where they make the snow look like it’s actually falling or the butterflies are flying. Do you know how this is done? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Oh, it's great fun. Have you ever played with the "Animation" panel in Photoshop? Basically, you create different layers in your image, then go to the Animation panel and choose "Make frames from layers". Play with frame timing and such. Then eventually save as a GIF. I don't have a tutorial about it, sorry, but I'm sure you'll find plenty out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Yes, of course. You need to shrink your file to web-ish dimensions first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falon Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 well the lady I was inspired by has made a snow overlay then a action but she says it can only be used in ps cc. I assume adobe after effects is a cc thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Yes it is. I'm not sure if it's included in the normal suite, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falon Posted November 2, 2018 Author Share Posted November 2, 2018 I asked her she said she does it in cc. I exported as video so it saved as a mp4. Only problem I’m now having is it looks great on my mobile on fb but looks blurry on my computer on fb. Do you know why this could be? I cropped and sharpened as per fb then added snow then exported as mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
