Would you ever share your blending process? It looks amazing!
Of course!!! I'm always happy to help!!! (Also, thank you for saying so 💖💖💖💖)
The tutorial below will show you how to make this gif!
So first you have to open your gifs in photopea and make sure they're the same number of frames.
Once both of your gifs are made and have the same number of frames, you'll go into the second gif and right click on it and pick the 'duplicate into' option, where you'll choose to duplicate it into your first gif.
Once you have them together in the same place, you'll change the blending style (which is the dropdown menu next to opacity) from 'pass through' to 'lighten' for both gifs. This step isn't technically required, but it helps you visualize how you want to place your gifs easier.
In order to move your gifs to where you want them to be, you have to select all the frames of your gif (otherwise you'll only end up moving one frame). You can do this by clicking on the first frame, then hold down the shift key while you select the last frame. Then you're free to move both gifs to where you want them!
Once you have your gifs where you want them, now comes the blending! Click on the raster mask option, which I've circled.
Next, you're going to get a brush. It's best to turn the hardness down, because then you're won't be as, well, hard lol. With a soft brush, it's easier to blend more naturally. And use whatever size you want.
With the raster mask, to erase what you don't want in your gif, like the harsh lines and things blocking parts of your other gif or whatever, you want to turn the color to black. Then, if you erase too much, you can change the color to white in order to add it back in!
One more thing about the raster mask, since you'll be adding it both gifs. Whatever part of the gif you want to erase make sure you're erasing the part from the gif that mask is applied to.
If that's confusing, what I mean is: I have my gifs labelled 'joey 1' & 'joey 2'. Joey 1 is the gif on the right and Joey 2 is the gif on the left. So, if I want to have more of the Joey 2 gif in my blended gif, I have to erase the parts of Joey 1 from the mask applied to Joey 1. (Hopefully that makes sense!)
Once you're satisfied with your blending, you're going to select both folders the same way you selected frames when moving your gifs. Then, you're going to click the layer dropdown menu up on the top and scroll until you get to the animation tab which has 'make frames' 'unmake frames' & 'merge' in it. You're going to select merge and you're done!
Just save it as a gif with whatever dimensions you want! And congratulations, you've made your blended gif !!!!!!
