PSCS4 modify WeChat GIF animated expressions-PS tutorial

In this tutorial, I will share with my friends how to modify GIF animated emoticons in PSCS4. the emoticons produced in this tutorial are very beautiful and difficult. it is worth learning. I recommend you to my home, there are a lot of small software for GIF production on the market, but it is more convenient to use the powerful PS image processing functions for animation. If you have a basic PS, it is easier to operate. If you want to make a film-level shock, you can use the AE software, but the computer configuration should be high. The following small series will give you a detailed introduction. let's take a look!

Method/step

First, you need to install a version with a higher PS. here we use PS CS4 as an example. Open the software and click the PS file menu.

In the "file" menu "import" command, select "video frame to layer"

In the "load" window, enter "*" in the "file name location" and press enter. * A wildcard represents any character, that is, all files.

At this time, you can see the file, select the GIF animation you want to modify, and load it.

In the "import video to layer" dialog box, do not worry about it.

In the "window" menu, select "animation" to open the animation panel.

In the animation panel, we can see that this animation is made up of 7 images continuously.

On the "layer" panel, we can also see the seven images. to modify the animation effect, you only need to modify the content of the specific layer.

Select the eraser tool in the left-side tool window. if you cannot find the tool, use the shortcut key E.

How to hide text. if you do not know much about PS, first select an animation frame, then select the layer with the "eye" icon in front of the layer, and then use a rubber gel to hide it, the seven layers are operated one by one.

This effect will be achieved after the rubber gel is removed.

In the tool window on the left, select the text tool. the shortcut key is T.

Input text.

Set the text color and other attributes in the toolbar attributes.

In the "layers" window, select the text window you just created, and hold down the mouse and drag it to the icon below.

At this time, we can see a copy layer.

Double-click the "T" icon.

At this time, the font size is increased ., This is a little bigger than the original one.

Click the Create layer button to create a blank layer, and drag it to the lowest end.

Enter D, ctrl + backspace, and fill in white.

In the first three frames, hide the layer with the font size adjusted and click the eye to close it.

The next four frames show the layer with a larger font size, and the layer with a smaller font size is disabled.

Click the play button on the animation panel to test the effect.

Save the file and select the "Save as WEB and device format" command from the "file" menu.

Select the GIF format in the pop-up menu.

Click the "storage" button below to save the file.

In fact, the zoom-in effect of this animation is different from that of the original version, but it can be done in the same way. In addition, if the animation exceeds K, it cannot be saved as an expression. Compression is required.

The above is the whole process of modifying GIF animated expressions in PSCS4. The operation is not very difficult. you can follow the steps above. I hope you will like it!
