TUTORIAL BY PSCS5: REQUESTED

awmahone submitted: Tutorial on this please Thank you(: 

GIF above was the example provided by awmahone

BEFORE WE GET STARTED:

• I have Windows 7

• I used Photoshop CS5 Extended

• How I make my gifs and settings: tutorial here

• How I make my gifs run smoothly: tutorial here

• How to sharpen your gif at once and use actions: tutorial here

When you make your gifs makes sure that they all have the same amount of frames   (ex: if you use 24 frames all your gifs should be 24 frames) and do not make it too long or else you will exceed the gif limit. 

500px limit: 1mb

245px and 160px: 2mb

Save this image that I made. It has a transparent background so all you need to do is resize (using the move tool) and drag it on your gif:

1. You are first going to create a Group:

2. Select your layers. Do this by selecting the first frame and then when you go to select the last layer hit shift + layer at the same time. Then drag your layers in the group. Drag your coloring (psd) in there as well:

3. Take your triangle and drag it onto your gif.

1 (RED): Click on the triangle and hit ctrl on your keyboard

2 (BLUE): Click on your group 

3 (VIOLET): Select the mask 

1 (RED) result:

2 (BLUE) AND 3 (VIOLET) result:

Result:

Go ahead and make the triangle invisible (by clicking the eye):

4. Now to make the triangle upside down just do the following and then follow the same steps above for the next gif:

5. You are going to make a new document File → New 

Image size: 500px

Height can be whatever you please

6. Edit the pictures for your background then place them onto the new document. 

7. Now follow this tutorial I made previously to guide you on how to add the gifs one the same canvas. 

And that is all. Hope this helped!
