This is what I hoped to find. Yours is about the fourth one in I've watched but the most helpful and encouraging by your delivery. I've spent decades on still illustrations exclusively PS. 10 yrs in Photoshop edit competitions and noticed how much it's a dying art with so many sites gone. This is my new course of action. Stay with the times and tech breakthroughs. Thank you and keep up the excellent tutorials. 😎

[@micho4646]

Thank you so much! I have tried to animate but I was too impatient. You've calmed me down with your background lessons - now I understand the whole process better and will try to think about the details that make so much difference.

[@jimmyPOUFAJones]

Learn something every time! Did not know this option was here. Thank you for helping me stay sane durning this shut in time.

[@larrymannino444]

This is Brilliant - your step-by-step approach to teaching is terrific and assumes no real prior knowledge, which is often the case with similar videos -thanks for making this, and keep up the good work!

[@yellowbear1000]

I have just got to have a go at this!!

[@D300Dave]

I've heard of animation in Photoshop Colin, but never used it. Now you've introduced me to a new tool - thank you!

[@photoshopcafe]

Happy to help!

[@matrishva]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge.... I always wondered how to use it, though I knew it was something to do with video... But never imagined it to be an animation tool. Thank you.

[@khadimgroup3445]

This is a great tutorial in terms of Photoshop kicks in Videos! Simply it is amazing way to describe from beginners level to advance and will boost the skills of the lovers of Photoshop especially who works with Motion Graphics!

[@sfaustina]

I made the mockups for the Movie TETRO opening credits in 2009 with PS animation. Thx for the refresher!

[@rgarlinyc]

Thanks a lot CS - very well explained, really helpful to me!

[@fredrosenbaum8630]

I've been using PS since 5.1 and had no idea this was an option. Wow, Thanks!

[@frankCsenior]

Fascinating! Great for the self isolator of which I am one.

[@rajeshasthana5165]

done little bit in photoshop but this is something advanced course for me thanks

[@47micky]

I learn a lot from you, animation is new for me. Thanks

[@seefroggysee]

I haven't done any animations. It looks like fun. I have used the timeline to do some limited work on videos.

[@robertkovar2814]

Your Videos are just amazing. I`ve been using PS for ages to edit Photos quite professionaly. But i never knew that one can use PS for editing Videos using most of PS Tools. I`ve been working for Videos only using Magix, which many times crashed while editing. Now your tuorial just opend a totally new world to me. Thank you soooo much!!

[@ChristopherBriscoe]

Wow. Fantastic. More like this, please.

[@Brkdmrcn57]

wooow.. the best tudor I have seen on youtube!! I'm super thankfully!!

Wow, thanks!

[@dunnymonster]

Brilliant, I'll have to try this out 👍

[@lisamcgovernboldgoldie]

That's too cool!

[@thcrtn]

Cool vid, I learned of mask back ij 01 but never understood how to use em... This definitely helped (23 years later) I never focused on them... I have done animation before. But I mostly do the frame by frame layer style. And puppet warp them for movement.

[@tikiroa]

Very cool video I have started to make my first anime following this video

[@jjonestowne]

Haha! I had no idea there were all these options for animating/video inside Photoshop. I've been making animations by changing everything I want animated, merging visible, then exporting as a quick PNG, then undoing the merge, changing everything (from memory); Repeat...hundreds of times. Takes SO LONG, and always forget to move something. This's brilliant. Thanks so much. I'm dumb.😆

[@winfredbaa364]

oh nice, didn't know you could animate the mask separately!

I’ve been looking for “ease in and out” tutorials for my PS animations. Even though I already knew how to do this, I watched all of it. You have a gift for teaching and explaining! Good vid!

Thanks

[@kd6lor]

Many years ago the animation abilities were much more primitive. I used PS to make simple GIF animations. This is a huge step above what I did back then. I started using PS with PS3, but don’t remember when the frame animation came into being. It was a long time ago, however.

[@megan8494]

Hey im just trying to add a simple gradient onto a video but when i render it gets stuck in the "loading" mouse without a "rendering video" progress bar. Any ideas how to do this successfully?

[@leighhampton2382]

Hi Colin, another great tutorial! I've been wanting to use the animation in Photoshop as I use to use Pinnacle Studio. Can you tell me if there is a way of zooming into an image and or panning throw an image? I have an few landscape images I'd love to zoom into in an Instagram story as I don't think Instagram images do landscapes justice. Would you be covering more aspects of animation in future tutorial?

[@photoshopcafe]

Sure, if you scale the image and use it on the transform feature it will change, I have already done a tut on what you were asking, its the animated slideshow one kzbin.info/www/bejne/g53NeX2rrcmNZ5I

[@BoufloveJesus]

Hi, will it be possible in the future to indicate from which version on of Photoshop this tutorial applies to, at the beginning of the video? Thank you

[@photoshopcafe]

This is the same from Photoshop CS6 onwards. Unless I'm using a new feature, my tutorials will work with CS6 or newer. I usually say if its a new feature, but I will try and remember to say this

[@BoufloveJesus]

photoshopCAFE I guess my CS5 version is too old for future tutorials.

[@Agente00Ai]

Thank you thank you thank you. I am an advanced PS user...since 2.0...and this animation stuff always frustrates me. I end up reverting to AE or Blender, or one of a number of other softwares. I resolve to not leave quarantine until i totally master this this time! The timeline for whatever reason gets me every time....

[@stekjesgrigoris6911]

Such a precise explanation from a kind soul. I had always have difficulty creating a simple animation in PS, I would move my object and it would go either very slow/very fast or it would not follow a straight line etc. But thanks to your explanation it seems easier now. God bless you mate.

[@jjcm3135]

thanks

[@rixx10100]

Excellent! Was looking for a tutorial like this! Great job... I will subscribe!

[@ShNarges]

Very helpful. Thank you. I've made animation with a few frames, but I didn't know photoshop could move the object automatically between positions

[@spokesmann]

Do a bit of animation in PS and this has helped me a lot with those extra touches of realism... good work!

[@rreinhard43]

How about animating a lighthouse light rotating lighting up the sunset sky?

any version photoshop we can do video edit or not any one photoshop cant edit videos can you tell me which version can edit videos and animation

Hi, I really need some help with a video I am adding into a flyer I am creating photoshop. I have a video in my project that I want add and i was successful in adding it, however I want blend it in the with the flyer by erasing the edges with a soft round brush. If I do make the mentioned before it is converted to a smart object, it works but only for one split second part of the video. I need the edits to last the entire video(wondering if the keyframes would help with this but not sure how). I tried converting it to a smart object then making the edit I wanted but it prompts me to rasterize the video (making an image). Is it possible to edit a video like a photo in photoshop with out changing into a picture? If this isn't clear, I would to talk to you directly if possible.

[@photoshopcafe]

You have to use a layer mask, otherwise you are only editing 1 frame. Convert to Smart Object, then apply the mask to the smart object.

[@iainhmunro]

It would have been nice to start from the beginning of the animation sequence showing how the images got onto the timeline

[@NinjaTrackProductions]

02:20 Can you extend the layers for more than 5 seconds? I have a few 3D images I've created in other photoshop files that I've imported and can't seem to adjust the file to more than 10 seconds.

[@Erginartesia]

Did not know how much animation CC could do. At the same time, trying to overlay multiple layers of artmaking and layer masks seems the best suited.. that doesn’t seem as good as photoshop. Here’s a question…. Can you animate a layer mask?

[@Bluebarmy]

Ok typical of me trying something for the first time. I have a simple three layer animation set up. Background layer photo of a shelf with a tin on it, a middle layer of the lid of the tin to go up off the tin with a bird inside on the same layer that comes up from inside the tin. The tin is a cut out from the background photo as the top third layer to hid the bird coming out with the tin lid on its head. But when I set the keyframe at the beginning for the active bird/lid layer I'm on with the Position alarm clock active and move the playhead to the end of the animation, When I move the the layer to the position I want the animation to end, it doesn't automatically set the second Keyframe yellow diamond. It moves the starting first keyframe to the same position I'm trying to end with. So when you play it back there is no progression from one position to another because the first keyframe moved the layer to start how I wanted it to end. I notice there are two small arrows either side of the alarm clock. My animation is intended to go in a similar direction to yours but in the opposite direction. Moving up the frame. Any ideas what I'm missing ? Oops I figured it out. I didnt have the workspace set up for 'motion' instead of essential. Rolls eyes.

[@ekiamedia2403]

Great video. Really it is. I just thought however, you left out one step, to make it even more realistic. That is to animate the background picture as well, whereby it would move backwards. Perhaps there could be a part 2?

Asking for a Like and/or Subscribe is like asking for a tip--there’s a presumption that the delivered content is worthy of the requested gratuity. So asking at the beginning of the presentation assumes I will like what I’m about to see. Really? How would I know if I’m going to like it if I haven’t even seen it? Besides, just asking at all is reason-enough to not-like the video or not-want to subscribe to future offerings. If you’re going to beg for approval; at least wait until I have an opportunity to view the content, then decide if it’s worth-while.
