Create a Hypnotic Spiral and Animate It in Photoshop!

[@MetalmcBiff]

I am so blown away every time one of these videos come out. The way you approach visual problems and utilise filters and blend modes to achieve high level results is completely mind-bending. Just THANK you for sharing your knowledge with the world!

[@Texturelabs]

That's really cool to hear, thank you!

[@Kaiyodo2]

A game I like to play is to try and guess how long it takes for Brady to use Hard Mix (spoiler: 4 minutes). Great video though, that polar coordinate trick to make the spiral was most impressive.

[@Texturelabs]

Hahaha you could probably tell by the thumbnail there's some hard mixing involved...

[@xilipiz]

How he come up with those ideas right?

[@ericfoster5267]

As a veteran PS user, the dead simple spiral creation trick blew my mind - thanks for this and all the other nuggets of wisdom your videos provide!

[@haresheranga]

That technic you used to create the spiral is amazing. I think many wont think of creating the spiral inside photoshop.

[@Texturelabs]

Thanks, ya there's a great Dansky technique in Illustrator, but it was fun to find a different angle on it

[@4.0.4]

I'm always blown away by how much effort you put into these tutorials, that sidebar for example. Not to mention it's a treasure trove of amazing tips and tricks. It's all around fantastic, you really push the limits of what can be done with Photoshop's varied, even if wonky, tools. It's also relatable to see you struggle with Photoshop (Adobe software in general) finding new and creative ways to screw something up.

[@SSHK237]

Wow! Creativity with full technical knowledge is just awesome! One of the smartest Guru on KZbin!

[@Texturelabs]

Appreciate that!

[@crristox]

Absolutely incredible techniques. You have raised the bar with these Photoshop tutorials, like how the hell do you find out about these tricks?? So spcific yet so amazingly looking! My favorite PS channel by far

[@Texturelabs]

That's really cool to hear, thank you!

[@yusufgriffins]

Damn, you are my new Guru! This channel is GEM!

[@Texturelabs]

Nice, glad you found the channel!

Man, you re just amazing. The racional versus artistics skills are incredible. Thanks a lot for share.

[@DaNi-mg1ui]

The best tutorials I have ever seen. Thanks for upload these videos, they are very usefull for me.

[@JeghedderThomas]

I never knew I could animate in psd... man, you teach me so much new and odd stuff. Thanks.

[@Feno94PL]

I've watched all your videos, you are for photoshop community what Andrew Kramer is for After Effects. I disabled adblock to watch your videos and I hope you'll get at least 1 milion subs. Thank you!

Every single tutorial you upload blows my mind. Fresh, different and interesting, always. Keep it up!

[@Texturelabs]

Right on, appreciate that!

[@MaureenDenny-MoxieCreek]

I wished I would have seen this yesterday. It would have saved me hitting the wall over and over and over… thanks!

[@thekadirsahin1683]

You're really amazing! I never saw the technique smth like you use before. Please keep create tutorials!

[@Texturelabs]

Cool, more on the way!

[@jishnuvediyoor6910]

I am always amazed with how you show complex effect such clarity. i always think about some of the designs and wonder how do they do it and after watching your videos I am like " oh yean, now I know!"

[@mardenhill]

there is a wonderful punchline: »it’s easy when you know how.« :D

[@tranvan1899]

Thanks Texturelabs! Excellence tutorial and explanation especially you text instruction; it was big help for us to learn. Please keep creating more video. Best regards;

[@szusi79]

Super complicated to me but enjoyed watching you completing this project. Loving the step by step guide on the side. 🙌🙌🙌.

[@Texturelabs]

Awesome thanks... good to know - this one had to be a two-pager to get all the stuff in there!

[@TheEffence]

Great, I've been using photoshop for I don't know how many years and just now I find out that you can create animations in it.. thank you, this will definitely come in handy.

[@마인드셋이전부이-g1z]

Always thank you

[@nateoski3635]

Thank-you Brady for a fantastic tutorial. You obviously have put in a lot thought and time into making this tutorial bite size and easy to understand. I appreciate that you took the time to point out potential problems like the spiral space at the top and how to go about resolving the issue. A person doesn't realize how important those specific numbers are until the project doesn't work. So, thank-you. I have been lookin for different ways on how to apply the difference blend mode. So, for you to show a practical usage was awesome. :)

[@TheRoaringPeacock]

Always amazing

[@Texturelabs]

Appreciate that thanks!

[@STAMPER-DESIGN]

Great work. Thanks Brady!

[@Texturelabs]

Cheers, no prob!

[@ArielTavori]

Thanks for another great resource, really appreciate the way you think through and explain things. Subscribed and joined your Patreon just a few days ago. You're my new MVP on this subject, looking forward to your next one!

[@Texturelabs]

Really appreciate that Ariel, thank you!

[@juanaq]

man, i think that i'll never have to use this effect, but the way you get to it makes me want to try it, just for fun. to clip the animation at a precise point, i usually place the playhead where i want it, click the "split at playhead" command, and delete all the unnecessary clips. same results, just other way to do it.

[@Texturelabs]

Nice solution! That's probably quicker especially if you've got a ton of layers...

[@FaustoGabriel]

I got excited watching this video, this is amazing!

[@Texturelabs]

Cheers thanks!

[@davidp158]

Excellent tutorial. I'd love to see more After Effects tutorials, too.

[@erod1784]

This is so COOL!!

[@Texturelabs]

Cool thank you!

[@cinzabreu]

Acutally you don't need to resize every layer to fit the 2 seconds. You can just crop all the layers using sliding the endpoints on top of your timeline, you'd only need to resize every layer individually if you had to stretch them to a longer period. I use it a lot to make some animations and small video adjustments since I don't know video a lot about editing tools but work with photoshop all day long. I used to have also have this problem with rendering a couple years ago, but it updated automatically and solved this issue for me.

[@Texturelabs]

Ah great! So the render will be limited to the start and endpoint sliders? It was hard to know whether that would work when I've got this render problem! But good to know that might fix with an update.

[@cinzabreu]

@@Texturelabs Yes render is limited to those endpoints Great tutorials, by the way. I would never have learned to use the hard mix blending mode as threshold if it weren't for your videos. It is a versatile tool to use. :)

[@пользовательнемного]

i love that!

[@j.morgenstern1985]

LOVE THIS CHANNEL SO MUCH

[@neobaggins3718]

This is a cool one (I mean, they are all gold) Gonna try this later!

[@queenge0]

Love this effect, I will use it for some homework I have for my typography class. Keep up the good content!

[@Texturelabs]

Nice!

[@grindirna8614]

magic!

[@FullNelsonYT]

At 10:57 you can just drag the right or left gray sliders just above the Timeline layers to lengthen or shorten the section of animation.

[@TommyHillFingerzz]

[@jonseyjones321]

I think another workaround for rendering the video is going to File, Export, and I think there's a Export Video option or something (should be obvious to figure out). That should work too. Saves you opening another program

[@joshpage4547]

I want to watch this, but it's really nauseating XD awesome work!

[@Texturelabs]

Ha that's the effect I was aiming for!

[@joshpage4547]

@@Texturelabs Fantastic XD

[@jchunick]

Slick! Nice intro to animation. I mainly do gif animations so I've not touched the more advanced animation timeline, but maybe it's time.

[@Texturelabs]

It's fun, kind of a little diet version of After Effects. If you get a sense of it in PS, you can have a field day in AE....

[@lipasketch]

Can I make a suggestion for a video? I'd love to know if there's a way to get a realistic scan distortion effect directly on photoshop. It's fun to play with the paper on the scanner, but it can be a whole process, plus you need printed text/images.

[@NemorisInferioris]

Yeah i've been trying to get that photocopy texture for a while...

[@Texturelabs]

Cool ya, I've got some experiments with actions that randomly create an effect like that.. I'll try to find time to revisit that and get it a little more concrete

[@khanbifov]

There is a "UFO" video in your "Photoshop Tutorials" playlist. Just figured that's not intentional :)

[@thisisloveless]

fucking brilliant, every time

[@TobyWallwork]

I'm having trouble with "Video Timeline" - it appears that this is not available in the newest versions of Photoshop when running on an M1 chip. You will need to select the application in Finder, select "Get info" and click to "open in Rosetta" to have it as an option until Adobe rectifies the omission. It works.

[@Texturelabs]

There is definitely some funny stuff going on with Photoshop, especially when you get into the advanced features like 3d and animation. I don't know how you figured out that solve, but good find!

[@ronnykhalil]

there are sooo many nuggets in here that arent just spiralcentric...f'king wizard

[@luchifex]

[@jcfreak6363]

I did everything exactly as you said but when I play the video it stops at the 2 second mark. I selected the loop playback option before rendering it also! What am I doing wrong?!

[@Apostle92627]

I can't get the animation to loop. It just stops at the end of the 2 seconds.

[@chrispysaid]

Was it just me or was there one hang frame in the loop repeat? Is it better to go to 1.11 rather than 2 (1.12) and bring the timeline bounds there?

[@kennethnewell6846]

Why does the text not fit in the screen when I match the resolution and font size he uses?

In PS 22.4.2 on Win 10 the vid will not render. Great tutorial though, and I put in a support request so we shall see.

[@daniel_wilkinson]

Not sure which PS version this is. Mine (23.1.1) does not act the same as described in this video and it's making it difficult to follow along.
