Rotating text animation - an easy peasy tutorial

hi! Robin @madeline-kahn​ mentioned she’d like to know how i made the rotating animations for this edit i made for @jatpsource​​

and i was bored so here we are haha! the process is super simple and it makes a cute edit so like win-win situation here :D

what do you need: 

Photoshop CS6 or higher (i was sad to find out this particular kind of animation didn’t work on my beloved CS5) It has to have the timeline option, otherwise this won’t work for you.

okay let’s do this! i’ll put it under a cut bc it has lots of screnshots and it makes the post too long

moving layer mask tutorial

how to do before/after gif transformations (aka, the graham slide, because it needed a name to stop @highwarlockkareena​ from naming it maskino) aka:

so! going into this i am assuming things, 1: that you know how to make gifs, 2, that you use timeline mode! this tutorial is for post gif making, post colouring etc. also, big thanks to @lan-xichens​ for already making the tutorial for split gifs which i bounced most of this technique off of (especially the first three steps!) if you wanna see that tutorial, it’s here!

so we begin!

Hey ya’ll. An anon asked me about the handwriting effect I used in one of my gifsets, and I was SO excited I thought I’d make a full blown tutorial. This is my first tutorial, so if anything’s unclear or you have any questions pls drop me an ask.

I looked around at a couple of tutorials and this is a bit of a mashup of that. The main advantage of this method is that the speed(?) of the writing is really flexible, which makes it good for using with gifs with a set number of frames, but you could also use this with static edits v easily.

Full disclosure this is still v time consuming, but I couldn’t find a quicker way to do it and it does get quicker as you get to grips with it. I use Photoshop CC and this tutorial assumes a certain level of gif making knowledge, esp with the timeline function.

(im not very good at explaining things so this will be pretty picture (and gif) heavy, if you need anything explaining better feel free to ask!)

how to make a gif transition like this:

1. Make the gifs you’ll be using for the set, for this tutorial ill be using two random allison gifs i made. do whatever colouring you want here (unless you plan to use the same colouring on both gifs ig)

 you’ll want them to be around the same length, maybe just slightly longer if one gif has to run over a bit more

2. Find, download (if you haven’t already) and duplicate your overlay into both gifs. In one of them: invert the overlay. set both to lighten

I’m using this overlay by @octomoosey​ for this tutortial (they have lots of great overlays to check out along with this one)

this is what the bottom gif settings looks like

(yes the overlay is shorter than the gif but it should work out okay - you’ll see why later)

and heres the top gif

and the finished results of both gifs

3. Save these gifs and reopen them, duplicate your top gif onto the bottom gif

4. Set the top gif to multiply, and adjust the gifs so this doesn’t happen (just drag ending the top gif to where the overlay finishes and it should work out fine - this doesn’t always happen when making these gifs - just something to keep an eye on)

(these are what my settings look like now)

5. play it through to make sure its working, save it, and voila, you’re done!
