The first step in creating any animation in Photoshop is to build a layered Photoshop file with all the
elements you plan to animate. Our example document has 7 layers containing the text for our
countdown, and layers for the rocket and flame.
Step 2: Create Animation Frames with Layer Visibility.
Now that the countdown is complete, we need to create the illusion that our rocket ship is taking off.
Add one more frame, and this time select the group called Rocket in layers and move your rocket
off the top of your image window.
Then choose Tween from the Animation palettes pop-out menu.
Set how many frames to add, and Photoshop spreads the movement of your layer across those extra
frames.
Step 4: Adjust your Timing.
Finally, go back through and adjust the delay for each frame of your animation. That time is shown
in seconds below each frame.
Tip: You can hold down the Shift-key to select a range of frames (such as the 9 frames we added for
the rockets takeoff) and change them together.
Step 5: Export the Animated GIF.
Finally, to export your animated GIF choose:
In Photoshop CS5: File > Save For Web & Devices
In Earlier Photoshops: File > Save For Web
Make sure the image type is set to GIF, feel free to experiment with some of the other options,
and save your file.
To test your resulting animated GIF, drag the file onto your web browser. Or right click your mouse
and choose open with: Internet Explorer or Chrome browser.
