Who knew Photoshop had a video timeline? What other use cases do you have for the Photoshop Animation Timeline?

[@krissloo143]

I was surprised when I found out about it extremely useful for testing my sprite animations before importing them into unity

This video was exactly what I was looking for. So helpful! Thank you so much!

[@FollowAndrew]

So glad!

[@ariannegeofroy1860]

Do you still have the video for the other kind of animation in Photoshop? You mentioned it in the beginning of the video. It's in the 3D space. Thanks!

[@senkail6625]

thank u keep going !

Hi Andrew, Well that was pretty amazing !, I've seen a few tut's with After Effects to continue on with animating simple photo's, but it appears that it isn't actually necessary? Could you make her lift her hand and arm into the air and perhaps purse her lips more without After Effects using this method ?

[@mystyredz]

I believe I need to just hire someone to do all this for me

[@thai_le_foto]

Dude! Thank you so much for this! Luckily this was at the top of my search but only this or maybe 1 other available and this is what I was looking for. How do you you make it repeat for 15 seconds?

[@FollowAndrew]

Depends on how you export, but if you export as an animated gif you can set the 'repeat' for x amount of times.

[@cantelopes]

I'm still using CS6 and I don't think I have the 3D capability, I only see "New 3D Extrusion" under Select but it is greyed out. Do you know if that would be equivalent?

[@ilithielxd2356]

is there a way to make them move faster? or is stuck with that speed?

[@oddestofplaces]

amazing tutorial. I had an issue though. After converting my image to 3d postcard, there was a loss of color and quality ... my image got darker and lost some saturation and clarity. How do I prevent this from happening?

[@FollowAndrew]

Not sure, might have to do with your document color settings?

[@oddestofplaces]

FollowAndrew what settings are you using?

[@mojieoutputs]

For shortcut users, *Ctrl+J* for copy paste shortcut and *ctrl+shift+j* for cut paste. You're welcome.

[@z3m0g1]

Everything seemed to work except when I click render video, Photoshop just freezes up. Decreased the image size & time length, but still seems to not help this issue. :( any suggestions? thanks!

[@FollowAndrew]

Not sure here? I’ve had some issues with rendering videos from time to time too.

[@z3m0g1]

@@FollowAndrew Thanks for the reply👍🏽. Solved issue; Had to have Adobe Media Encoder Installed.

[@sierraroseby7300]

Why won't my seeds and dandelion show up by themselves at the 10:00 mark of the clip? Help please!

[@FollowAndrew]

I'm not sure? Sorry I can't be much more help!

[@sierraroseby7300]

@@FollowAndrew No worries, I figured it out! I just needed to switch the layers to "normal"
