PatTheRat's Text Animation Tutorials

[+dd. PatTheRat]

well this is an idea ive wanted to make a tutorial for since i joined this site but i just havent been able to find the time to do it till today and it definately was extremely time consuming. this topic im just going to use to add more tutorials on different text animations for the future too. ive got 4 of these to start with. and hopefully many more of these to come. by the way all these were my original ideas. i didnt steal from any other forums or anything like that. anyways there may be some errors. this whole thing swallowed up most of my night so i kinda got rushed twords the end. let me know if you guys see anything that needs changed.

excellent, however how do you incorporate one of these images into another gif image? .. .that already has an animation running, can both be run at the same time on different slides?

Wow! I didn't know you made these using ONLY photoshop :O

Almost got the shattered text to work , but when i move the text on the fourth frame off the sig , it changes every damn frame ! :S

[lokifeyson]

you have to uncheck propogate (<-spelling) frame changes :)

[Chipzee]

And when i save the animation sig as a gif why wont it animate :S ? (fade-in tutorial) It just takes 1 frame of it and saves it like that :S.

[Chipzee]

Never mind , i saved it for web and something something xD.
