We will give you a detailed analysis of photoshop software and share with you the tutorials on how to quickly create dynamic chat texts.
Tutorial sharing:
In this article, a Suwon will mainly introduce the operations of typewriter animation and multi-shadow separation animation, although they also have multiple methods in PS, however, asejun only shares the practices of using the "timeline". The Bullet screen animation will be briefly described here. If you are interested, click the link to view the detailed tutorials that have been released. At the end of this article, we will show some other methods. If you like it, leave a message to tell me that the update may be in the near future.
PS fun text gif
No1. typewriter animation
Step 1. Prepare the text
Before performing the animation, we should first prepare our text, open PS, press Ctrl + N to create a document, set parameters as shown in the following figure, and click OK.
Enter the text, as shown in the following figure. Select the text tool, set the font, font size, and color, and enter the text.
Step 2. Start the timeline
Click "window> Timeline", open the timeline panel, and click "Create Video Timeline", as shown in the following figure.
Then we came to the layer panel. What we actually do here is a "pseudo-typewriter animation", which is also related to the visual persistence phenomenon, therefore, the method described here is "moving the mask position ".
Therefore, when you select a text layer, click "layer> layer mask> show all" in the menu bar, or click the layer mask button as shown in the figure to create a mask for the text.
Step 3. Let the text move
As mentioned in the previous step, the mask is actually moved, and the text is not actually moved, hahaha. Okay. Let's take a look. First, make sure that the mask of the text layer is selected in the layer panel, that is, the mask of the Red Circle 1, and then select the rectangular box selection tool to box the text, as shown in step 123.
Then, when the foreground color is black, press the shortcut key Alt + Backspace to fill the mask with black, that is, to block the text. Press the shortcut key Ctrl + D to hide the selection box ant line. Now you can see that there is no text on the canvas, it is a piece of white.
The next step is the focus. By default, the mask is linked to the layer in which it is located. This means that the two "actions" are consistent, the text is moved, and the mask is also moved. In this case, the mask keeps covering the text and cannot see the text. The problem can be solved only when they are not linked. Then, cancel the link. Click "layer> layer mask> Cancel link" in the menu, or click the small chain in front of the mask to quickly cancel the operation.
Next, set a key frame for "layer mask position", as shown in the following gif image. First, expand the attribute of the text layer on the timeline panel, that is, click red circle 1 to open the small arrow. Then, move the current time indicator (the guy with the Blue Head) to the start point.
Click the stopwatch at the front of the "layer mask position" to set a key frame at zero frame for the current status.
Move the current time indicator to 10 frames per second, select the mask, and move it to the right until the text is completely exposed and the second key frame is automatically marked.
Press the space key to preview the completed typewriter.
A trick is to leave a few more frames after the second frame, as shown in the following figure. This will give the text a long-time display, so that you can see it clearly. In addition, you can cancel the background layer so that the text expression is transparent and perfect. Of course, you can also select a transparent background rather than a white background when creating a document.
Now, Save the settings. Press the shortcut key Ctrl + Alt + Shift + S. The following dialog box is displayed, as shown in the tag. Set the format to gif respectively, and select "forever" as the loop option ", click store, save it, and drag it to your WeChat or QQ to use it.
The text speed is adjusted to move the current time indicator.
No2. multi-shadow separation
The multi-shadow animation is used to animated the text in the timeline. It sets the "transform" and "opacity" attributes of the text based on the animation features. The methods for creating text, video timeline, and key frames are the same, so I will not elaborate on them here. I will only introduce three key frames, as shown in the following figure:
Start point: Transform (here refers to the position) is at the bottom of the canvas; opacity is 0%
Midpoint: the transform is in the painting, and the opacity is 100%.
End point: the change is at the top of the canvas and the opacity is 0%.
Three key frames
For other lines of text, we only need to copy the text layer we just prepared, because the copy is copied along with the key frame, and then directly move the key frame position forward on the timeline panel after the copy is completed, you can decide how many layers to copy as needed, as shown in the figure below.
Copy and move the key frame forward
After that, we can save the settings as gif to import them to WeChat.
Okay, it's almost done, hahaha.
The method is introduced to everyone. The speed and rhythm of text movement, the connection between each line of text, and other details can also be better played. You are welcome to do it.
Text animation, come on, fighting Pictures
No3. bullet screen animation
In the case of bullet screen animation, it is basically an animation of the text position attribute. Both frame animation and timeline can be done. The basic idea of frame animation is:
New text
Create frame animation
Set the position of the first frame, for example, draw the left
Copy the frame and move it to the right
Creates a transition frame and only retains the position attribute, for example, 7 frames in transition.
Save, complete
If you use the time axis to do this, it is:
New text
Create a video timeline
The first frame, the text on the left is picturesque, and the key frame for the transform attribute is
The end frame, the text position on the right, and the key frame.
Save, complete

No4. more animation possibilities
PS is certainly quite likely to be used for text animation. Just like other software, how much brain holes can be made when creative drives are used? Think about how much things can be played. The above are all very small applications. For example, the PS timeline also supports key frame animations of "styles", and think about parameters in layer styles, is there a lot of inspiration.
These support animation.
Simply put two style animations. Let's take a look. This is just a basic application. Let's talk about the method to our friends. Let's get started.
Color change Animation
Don't study failure cases.
Of course, the combination of the Echo position and style can also make the expression on the chat interface in minutes, that is:
Again, of course, software such as PPT and AE can be used for text animation, and AE's power and convenience will not be mentioned at first, the above small animation, called "black technology" by beijita, was made by AE.
All right, the above information is the detailed three tips for users of photoshop to quickly create chat dynamic text tutorials, you can see the software users here. I believe that the production method is very clear, then, let's go and follow the tutorial above to try to make it and see the effect.
