FALLING LETTERS ANIMATION tutorial

hello! @kimmomi asked for a tutorial on how i made the letters "fall" in this gifset and so i figured i would make it and post here! this effect isn't hard to achieve but it might get a little tedious if you have a lot of letters.

note: you will need photoshop with a timeline!

STEP ONE: create your base gif! be mindful of number of frames in your gif. the number of frames doesn't really matter here, altho the longer the gif the better the effect. i'd say try to limit it to 60-70 frames, depending on how big your final gif will be.

STEP TWO: make your text the way you want it to look. this effect is basically the last step of your gif making process. (i will be using the typography from my set as an example as i already have that psd saved)

this is what my typography looks like now.

STEP THREE: i would recommend that the word at the bottom be the word that "falls". for me that is forever.

now, you will have to duplicate the "forever" layer and make your non-copy forever invisible.

what you will want to do now is delete all the letters but the first one in the duplicated layer. for me that is f. then you just duplicate the f layer and write your second letter instead of it, in my case o. you will have to do this for all letters. also as you do that make sure to move them a bit away from each other.

now, what helps to align those letters where they start off, is making your non-copy layer to be visible again.

after you've aligned your letters, make the non-copy layer invisible again.

STEP FOUR: so now we come to a bit of a tedious part.

what you will do now is move the playhead (blue timeline arrow) a bit further from the beginning of the gif (this allows for the text to stay still a bit before it starts "falling") and click on the first letter.

next step is to click on the little arrow next to your letter and clicking on the stopwatch next to Transform.

then, you will take the playhead and drag it to the end of the gif where you will start with transforming your letter with Free Transform tool (shortcut ctrl+T on windows). and what you will do is, while in Free Transform mode, drag your letter to the bottom of your gif while also rotating it a bit. when you're happy with your placement of the letter, hit enter. see below gif for how i did it.

you will have to do this for every letter, but make sure to rotate some in the other direction. also make sure that the beginning of the stopwatch mark is the same for every letter.

and that is basically it! after you transform every letter, you can go and save your gif.

this is my final result:

for some extra dramatic look, you can duplicate your initial layer with the whole word on it, drag it above all layers, clear layer style and add a stroke and make sure its FIll is at 0% where you will get the outline text that stays behind.

i hope this was helpful and understandable. if you have any questions, feel free to send me an ask or dm me <33

June Collage Kit

download link and more information under read more :)

Here is my 6th, light academia inspired themed collage kit 💗 

What are collage kits? 

Basically they are a compilation of backgrounds, textures, stickers, etc. that you can use to create collages (and of course other type of graphics and edits!) I got inspired by the collage kits created by Rookie Mag, an online magazine that unfortunately isn’t active anymore but regularly posted really fun materials for people to use.

You can download the kits either as a complete pack as zip file or each asset individually as png file meaning that you should be able to use them no matter what program or app you’re using to edit. You could even print out the assets and use them to create analog collages.

You can use the assets within the kit as you wish (for both personal and commercial projects) but please do not share them individually or claim them as your own :)

PLEASE tag me if you end up using all or some of the assets from my kits, I’d love to see your creations. You can also use the hashtag #cruellesummerkits I will share all of your beautiful works every month :)

January Collage Kit

download link and more information under read more :)

May I introduce you to my first collage kit 🎉 

When I first got into digital collages I had a hard time finding resources and materials to use so eventually I had to start making them myself and realized how much fun that is. This is why I decided to share materials in form of collage kits with you guys! 

Now what are collage kits? 

Basically they are a compilation of backgrounds, textures, stickers, etc. that you can use to create collages (and of course other type of graphics and edits!) I got inspired by the collage kits created by Rookie Mag, an online magazine that unfortunately isn’t active anymore but regularly posted really fun materials for people to use.

From now on you can expect a new collage kit by me every 1st day of a new month, so the next one will be posted on February 1st (spoiler alert: the theme is Valentine’s Day inspired 👀)

You will be able to download the kits either as a complete pack as zip file or each asset individually as png file meaning that you should be able to use them no matter what program or app you’re using to edit. You could even print out the assets and use them to create analog collages.

You can use the assets within the kit as you wish (for both personal and commercial projects) but please do not share them individually or claim them as your own :)

Rotoscoping Tutorial by @antoniosvivaldi​​

Hi everyone! I’m excited to announce my long-delayed Rotoscoping Tutorial - requested by a number of people over the past calendar year. 

In this tutorial, I will show you how to create the cutout gifs like this (and seen in most of my gifsets under this tag) with Rotoscoping on After Effects. I’ll also provide additional examples and a number of things that I do to optimise my giffing / Rotoscoping workflow (e.g. useful shortcuts & other things to be aware of).

This is the structure of the tutorial:

Why Rotoscoping? Photoshop video timeline’s limitations

Photoshop workflow pt 1: Preparing your gif

After Effects workflow: Interface, shortcuts, and Rotoscoping tools

Photoshop workflow pt 2: Assembling your gif; with multiple examples

Bonus content: Rotoscoping tips* & workarounds to common issues

For quick reference, here are example gifsets (and where Rotoscoping is used in the posts) that I will mention in the tutorial:

Example 1: Cutout gif effect | panels 2 + 4

Example 2: Changing a gif’s background colour | all panels

Example 3: Cutout gif effect in a shape | all panels

Example 4: Putting it all together | panels 1, 3, & 5

What you need & need to know:

Software: Photoshop & After Effects (After Effects 2021 or later for Rotobrush 2.0)*

Hardware: 16GB RAM required to run later versions of AE*

Difficulty: Advanced; Knowledge in making gifs, applying layer masks, and using video timeline interface assumed

Key concepts: Rotoscoping (AE) / Video Timeline (AE+ PS) / Layer Masks & Groups (PS)

Supplementary files: tutorial resources

*I’m currently running the latest version of PS & AE on an M2 Mac, but I’ve also used older versions (CC 2015 & 2020) on Intel-based Macs. I’ll outline some known compatibility & performance issues, and workarounds later in this tutorial that could help streamline your giffing workflow.

Tutorial under the cut. Like / Reblog this post if you find this tutorial helpful. Linking this post / the example gifsets in your post caption, will be greatly appreciated if you read this to create effects seen in Examples 3 + 4.

Back due to popular demand!! Here’s a reupload of my gif making tutorial! 🤗After my blog @stefani-germanotta/@pixelrey was terminated by tumblr for copyright reasons, this tutorial was deleted along with it because it had a “keep reading” cut :( That really bummed me out because I spent HOURS working on this. BUT I recently managed to find an archive of the tutorial (thanks to the wayback machine archive site - a LIFESAVER), so here it is again!  ♥︎ So without further ado, here’s a tutorial on how I make my gifs (including how to take screencaps) 🎉 I noticed that it’s kind of hard to find a thorough step-by-step tutorial out there so I hope this helps!

You’ll need:

Photoshop CS6 or higher. I use PS CC 2017, but as long as you have the video timeline feature you should be fine.

A video player that takes continuous screenshots.

I personally use mpv on my mac and gom player on my pc.
