Here i used youtube 1080 for a letter boxed version that will fit a HD video Now we have made the animation, we need to export it, so we can use it.Ĭhoose the presets and select the best one for your video. A little bit can go a long way with animation. This makes it look like the jet is climbing. Now when you play it back, the yet will move and the shadow will change over time (This makes it look like its getting further away.) Drag the shadow further away from the jet. Make the shadow softer and more transparent. On the jet layer, click the stopwatch to add a keyframe for style.ĭouble click the drop shadow effects to open the effects.Ĭhange the settings as shown here. Move the playhead forward to when the afterburner comes on. Let’s change the shadow so that it looks like the jet is climbing when the afterburner is on. The shadow will move with the jet Step 22. Now we need to add a shadow for realism and depth.Ĭlick the add a layer style button and choose drop shadow When it reaches the keyframes and the jet accelerates, the flame will turn on. Now the flame will be hidden at the beginning of the animation Turn the opacity to 0 on the exhaust layer In the exhaust layer, turn on the stopwatch for opacity Now, we want the flame to only appear when the jet speeds up, as the afterburner kicks in. (It’s explained on the video why it does this) If you playback now, the jet will move slowly, when it hits the second keyframe it will speed up. They will both move together because they are both selected. Hold down shift and click the second keyframe to also select it.ĭrag the keyframe to the right. Move the playhead to the middle of the timeline (around 2.5 seconds).Ĭlick on the diamond between the 2 arrows to the left of the position stopwatch, this adds a keyframeĬlick the diamond to add a keyframe on the exhaust layer We want the jet to start off slowly and then speed up at the end. Changing the speed of animations in Photoshop Play it back and now the jet and the flame should be moving together, Move the playhead to the end of the timeline. We want to also animate the flame behind the jet.Ĭhoose the exhaust layer and click on the stopwatch for position. The jet should be moving at a constant speed. Press the spacebar of the play button in the timeline to preview the animation. This is where you want the animation to end.Ī keyframe will be generated at the playhead at the end of the timeline.
Using keyframesĬlick on the stopwatch by Position to set the start point for the jet Photoshop will animate the changes over time, lets see… Step 4.
b/ Move the playhead to a different point in time. Keyframes are how Photoshop does animations. With both the Jet and exhaust layers selected, drag to the top of the screen and just off the screen as the starting point for the animation. You should watch it anyway to see the animation.ĭrag the layers to make them longer, we are dragging them out to the 5 second mark. If you need more preceise details on any of the steps, please watch the video. This challenge should be enough for you to learn a lot of the animation tools in Photoshop. We want to turn off the afterburner, then 1/2 way through, we will turn on the afterburner and the jet will speed up. We are going to animate the jet from the top of the screen to the bottom. A background, a jet and the flame for the afterburner, called exhaust.
