I'll teach you how to quickly turn a static picture into an animated image.

Today is the introduction of a small software--magic morph. We use it in conjunction with PS to allow a static JPG image to become an interesting gif by simply manipulating it. No picture no truth, together to see the tutorial!

Original:

(Pictures from the American opera HEMLOCK Grove poster) (After Magic mprph + PS processing effect)

Isn't it fun!

Do not say much nonsense, quick to see how to do it!

First step:

Download Good Magic mprph This software (http://pan.baidu.com/s/1sly2mKl), and the picture above the poster;

Step Two:

Open the software, click New Deformation;

Click on "Select Source image" and "Select Target Image" respectively, and choose the same poster we prepared, then determine;

Step Three:

After the confirmation, enter to the following diagram of this interface;

First look at the left side of the toolbar, where we mainly use two tools (the following figure red Box highlighted two anchor point tools);

This anchor point tool is that we control the entire screen is not moving area, this case is just for the head to do the action, so need to use this Anchor point tool, the area outside the head to add the "no move" anchor point. (Adding an anchor on the source image also automatically adds an anchor point of the same position on the target image, which is not intended to be moved)

Effect Chart:

And this anchor point tool is we control the entire picture movable area, in order to let the head have the movement effect, therefore needs to use this Anchor point tool, adds "movable" anchor point on "source image" and "Target image" corresponding point. (Example: Add an anchor point to the tip of the left head on the source image, "Add a same anchor point to the tip of the target image" on the right side of the head ", thus completing a point of excessive animation and, in the same way, adding" movable "anchor points to each key point in the head.

Effect Chart:

When you are done, click "Generate Movie" and choose "gif animation" to save a picture in GIF format to the desktop according to the default value;

Here, in the "Magic morph" in the work is basically completed; now that the GIF map is made, we will find that we do, in addition to the head of the non-moving area, because the anchor point is not enough, or there will be a little jitter;

So the next step is to PS, to complete the correction!

Fourth Step:

Use PS to open a good GIF picture, the timeline should default to the state of frames by frame; We need to convert him to the video timeline state (pictured below)

(The following figure is the status after converting to the video timeline)

After setting up the workspace, we placed the original poster jpg file that was not originally made into GIF, and put it at the top of the layer; (when we create a new layer, the timeline will also increase the time axis of the corresponding layer; but its timeline will be long and we don't need to, so drag the tail to shorten it, Consistent with other timeline lengths;

After placing the original image, add a "layer mask" to paint the position of the head black; (This step is to use the original, the head accidentally shook the place to cover, so as to achieve a completely static effect;)

After this, you can save the final version of the GIF, remember the cycle option to choose "Forever";
