Instructions
Step 1
Create assets for animation in Photoshop. To create an animated image, you need to get a psd file with image elements disassembled into layers. To do this, take the picture you want to animate, create several layers with its copies and make changes to each copy to simulate movement.
Step 2
Use a maximum of 256 colors to create your animation, as.
Step 3
Convert the text, if used in your picture, to a bitmap. To do this, right-click on the text layer, select the Rasterize Layer option. Now the text has also become a graphic element. Launch the Adobe ImageReady program and open the source prepared in the previous step using the "File" - "Open" menu to bring the picture to life. From the Window menu, choose Animation.
Step 4
Make frames for your animation. Make all layers invisible except for the background. In the "Animation" option, click on the arrow in the upper left corner, in the rollout menu, select the "New frame" option. Perform this action in the same way for each layer of your source. As a result, you should have as many frames (frames) as there were layers in the source file.
Step 5
Set the length of time that each frame will be displayed on the screen. To do this, call the frame properties and select the Delay option, select the desired value. Do this for each frame. If the delay should be the same, then select all frames and set the desired value.
Step 6
Next, set the animation looping parameter, select the Forever option to set the image to scroll all the time. Next, select the Optimize tab to adjust the parameters you want. Set it to *.gif"
