Day 4 of animated GIF

Day 4 Animated Gif

  • open your finalname.psd document and make sure all of your layers are there:  you should at least have a1, a2, a3, b1, b2, b3, c1, c2, c3, and a blank background.  
  • In the layer stack highlight all of the layers.
  • Go to window and select animation
  • Toward the bottom of the page there is an arrow: select make frames from layers
  • Highlight the blank background in the layer stack.
  • Click the arrow again and select match layer across frames and hit OK
  • Go down to the animation reel and click on the blank background, and drag it to the trash.  
  • Change the time under each frame-- I usually choose the .2.
  • Go to file and save for web and devices. Make sure GIF is selected when you get the chance.  
  • Make sure this is saved as finalname.gif and drag it to the dropbox.  

    DONE!!!
