May I ask how did you create the first GIF effect? Thank you 😍😍
Heyoo 🌻 Before I start - I suck at explaining so there's a high chance this will be a hot mess - if something is unclear, let me know 🥰
Okay so here's how I did the blending thingy on the first gif of this set (there must be an easier way though, this is just how I worked it out by myself):
1. First of all, you'll need a B&W overlay gif, I got mine from here.
2. I created the two gifs separately and converted them to Video timeline, then selected all the layers on both of them and converted them to Smart Object. I opened my Overlay gif and did the same thing. Starting from here I worked in two windows:
3. The first window was my base gif (the purpl-ish one): I drag-n-dropped the Overlay gif on my base gif, I added an Invert layer as a clipping mask on the Overlay gif, so the blackness would swim in from the left side, like this:
4. Then I set the Overlay gif to Darken, this is how the first window looked like:
5. Moving on to my second window - my Overlay gif: I drag-n-dropped the B&W gif on the Overlay gif and set it to Darken/Multiply (I forgot which one because I forgot to save the PSD lol but it depends on your gif anyway).
Now you can see that the two windows are the two halves of the final gif, perfectly matching 🌝
6. I selected both layers in my second window (B&W gif and the Overlay gif), converted them into a Smart object, and drag-n-dropped this new Smart object on the top of my purple gif (aka first window), then set it Screen.
That's pretty much it, after this I just threw in some textures, Solid color layers and the text - they all help to make the blending a little smoother. 😊
I hope I could explain it decent-ishly, but yeah, let me know if you still have questions (or if I messed something up hehe)! 🥰
