The more frames you add the smoother your transition will be, but it will also increase your file size. When you click it, a window will pop up asking how many “tween” frames you want to add. The tween button is located at the bottom of your animation palette, and it looks like three diagonal circles. If you want to smooth the transition between frames, you’ll use the “tween” button. Every frame will now be highlighted, and will all be changed to whatever length of time you select. If you want to change the timing of all of your frames at once, simply click on the first image while holding down the shift key and selecting your last frame.

You might want some frames to be on the screen longer than others so that your movie “pauses” in certain places. Let your sequence play through, then adjust your times accordingly. To see how your animation looks, press the “play” button at the bottom of the animation palette. 1 seconds (barely enough time for your eyes to register it) to 10 (which feels like an eternity) and the length of time you select for each frame can be different. Each of your layers should now be represented as a square in your animation menuīeneath each image you’ll see a time that tells you how many seconds the image will play on the screen before transitioning to the next image. Click on the right to select “Make frames from layers” from the drop-down menu.ĥ. Make sure you select the tab that says “animated frames”. It’s also important to mention that your images all need to be the same size. After placing the file, be sure to click back onto your image to get the prompt asking “Place this file?” Say yes, then repeat this process for each image to be included in your animated GIF. Go to File–>Place in your Photoshop menu barĮach file that you place will be a new layer, and a different frame in your movie. Select “Animations.” You will see the window below appear. Go to your “windows” option at the top of your Photoshop menu bar. Just remember that the bigger you make your animated GIF, the larger your file will be, and the slower it will cause your site to load. You can make it any size you want, but I have a thing for symmetry and squares and balance.
I made my file 630 x 630 to match the main content area of my site. But you’re here for a tutorial, and I digress… Creating an animated GIF is easy. If only you could see my to-do list…it ranges from really cool art projects, to price updates for my Etsy shop to reminders to clean the bathroom. Remember a few weeks ago when I posted this and promised a tutorial on creating an animated GIF? Betcha thought I forgot, didn’t you? I didn’t forget, but creating a tutorial is pretty time intensive, and lately it’s been tough to get a nice uninterrupted chunk of computer time.
