warped text animation
today in ‘i can’t actually believe this works and it’s easy’ we’re learning to make a warped text animation like this one i made for @jatpwomen as per request of the members on the discord server <3
what do we need:
- basic gif making skills <3
- photoshop with timeline option
i’m working on photoshop cs6, i can’t remember if the option i’m using is available in earlier versions but from cs6 onwards you should be fine to make this.
Tutorial will be image heavy so i’ll put it under the cut!
hi!! i am absolutely obsessed with your mulan edit (and the rest of them like. holy shit they're all fucking incredible. but that one in particular) and i was wondering if you'd mind sharing how you made the fifth gif? if you're not feeling it or don't do that sort of thing, no worries, it's just so unique and i think i can parse it but i really would love to hear about your process! regardless, thank you for sharing it and i hope you have a lovely day/night!
Hi there!! Thank you!!! 🥺 I'm always happy to talk about gif-making! 💙 (I also just made a new tag for tumblr/photoshop help and some of my other mini tutorials)
I used a few techniques in this gif. So, I'll quickly talk about the typography + shapes and multiple blended gifs. But I'll go more in-depth on the delayed fade-in transition since, I think, that's the most unique aspect of this gif (I haven't seen anyone do it before, but I'm sure I didn't break ground here either lol). I didn’t expect to get so detailed but hopefully that’s a good thing. 😅 More under the cut!
how to pan gifs
were u ever like gahd these camerapeople again making yet another stage ungiffable. yeah me too.
sooo here in this tutorial i’m gonna try to explain how to pan gifs so ur subject can remain centered or at least not be out of frame, sth like this:
this is a more advanced tutorial, in a sense that i’ll assume you know how to make gifs, not in a sense that this is complicated lmao, okay let’s gooo:
hey guys! this will be a quick tutorial for blending gifs in photoshop (i use cs5, and i make my gifs using the timeline) i included pictures and everything, so i hope it’ll be helpful so let’s say you have your two (or more) gifs ready, nicely cut, sharpened and colored. i’ll use these two of lucifer and chloe
firstly, drag one of your gifs on top of the other, and arrange them a bit (you can obvs drag them around any time if it doesn’t look good) (i circled the timeline in yellow, always make sure that your gifs are the same length! obvs if one of them is longer, you can drag around the end of the timeline to align them up)
now we’ll need a mask. select the top layer, and click on the Add layer mask icon in the bottom right corner. a white rectangle (our mask) will appear next to the layer
the next step is to select the Brush tool, set the size to as big as you want (generally it looks better if you use a bigger brush, it’s much more seemless), and the color to black
then just paint around the edge of the top gif, you’ll see on the mask where the brush affects the layer. it’s generally better to just click around a couple times, than dragging the brush accross
now you can save it like any other gif, and this is what i ended up with
there are obviously many other ways of blending gifs, and this is far from the best one, but i feel like it’s the easiest if you have two similar gifs
sometimes setting the top layer on linear dodge looks great. if you’re using a dark and a light scene, you can play around with setting them on screen or soft light
i hope this helped, and if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to shoot an ask or message!
