Graphic Animation in .gif Format: Open the file SampleAnimation.html in

Internet Explorer or Chrome Browser to view it. Then follow the
instructions carefully in Part 1.
Part 1:
Step 1: Open the RocketLaunch.psd file. (Press F7 to show the layers panel if the layers
panel is not visible)

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.

Chose Windows > Animation to show Photoshops animation palette.

On the first frame, turn off visibility for all layers you do not want visible at the start of your
animation. Then add one frame at a time, and turn on the layers you want visible for each step in
the animation.
Changing layer visibility one frame at a time is a classic Photoshop animation technique that covers
a wide variety of needs.
In our example, continue this pattern to reveal the countdown and the flame at the bottom of our
rocket.
Step 3: Create Animation Frames using Tween.

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.
