Fireworks make butterfly fly skillfully write calligraphy gif animation

See many forums have a beautiful GIF animation writing effect: With a small butterfly flying up and down, beautiful calligraphy word on a stroke of writing out. So I studied the production method, here specially fireworks production steps written to share with you. The end of the article provides the original document for everyone to download reference.

The results are as follows, and they look particularly fresh and elegant.

1. Create a new document in fireworks with a width of 100 pixels, a height of 120 pixels, and a canvas color of "Custom" (color value #c6e0ff).

2. Select the Rectangle tool in the left "toolbox" and set the properties as shown in the following figure (where the color value is #69acff) and make a border.

Tip: If the rectangle size is not appropriate, you can use the "ctrl+t" deformation to adjust.

3. In the right "layers panel", share this layer, and then create a new layer.

4. Use the "Word tool" on the above to play the appropriate words, the size of the word color, such as self adjustment. (Here I set the font for Chinese Xingkai)

5. After selecting the text, select the menu "Modify/Flatten selected" to convert the text layer to a bitmap.

6. Next, select "Reset Frame" in the frame panel to copy around 22 frames. (The number of copied frames varies according to the number of strokes in the word)

7. Copy the butterflies in the material to these frames (note the Butterflies with wings on the singular frame, and the double frames to place the butterfly with open wings).

8. Use the eraser to write the number of strokes (you can erase each frame from the back) and place the butterflies in the right place.

Tip: When rubbing attention to adjust the size of the eraser, at any time to adjust.

The effect of the system is as shown in the following illustration:

10. After the completion of the brush, will not have the last frame of the butterfly reset 18 frames (with the same number of frames provided, easy to import). Then each frame adjusts the transparency of the text, from 99% per frame down a little, until the text is transparent.

11. Select the 18th countdown frame (that is, just made good to erase the finished text), select the menu "File/import", the material animation butterfly import in.

12. Finally, in the frame selected part of the text frame (can be selected with shift), set its frame delay of 30/s. The remaining butterfly effect is 15/sec.

13. Use the bottom of the playback preview, the final is to export beautiful animation. Select "File/Image Preview", select "animated GIF close to page 128" In Save settings (this kind of picture works well and relatively small), click "Export".
