Basic ImageReady AnimationBy: JunkAnt Requirements: Photoshop and ImageReady, and images to animate. 1. Open up Photoshop 2. Prepare your images and animation sequence. I’ll be using the avatar I made the other day. By Preparing I mean: name all your layers and organize where all the images will be for the animation sequence. 3. Once that is done click the Edit in ImageReady buton. 4. Welcome to ImageReady!!! 5. Now you will need to have the Animation bar and the Layers windows open. Click Windows>>>Animation Click windows>>>Layers 6. The layers are the same ones that you made in PhotoShop. And are ready to be used. 7. Animation Tool Bar. Loop - How many times you want to go through the animation you made. Frame Time – How long you want to see that certain frame for. Motion control – Go through the animation you made. Play, FF, RW . Tween – I’ll let you experiment. ^_^ New Animation Layer – Adds another layer to your animation. Trash – Delete the animation layers. 8. For this animation I hide all my ThunderCat symbols but one, then I add them one by one. 9. I set the time on that animation for .1 seconds and I click the new animation layer. That duplicated the first layer and now the animation begins. I change the white one for the black one and click new layer again. Now I add the next white symbol and so on. 10. To save your animation as a .gif goto File>>>Save Optimized As. Final Product That’s it, hope it made sense and you learned something. Any questions, just ask.
Thanks, I thought it would be hard to follow because it was my first guide ever. I guess my fear is over.
