PhotoshopCS3 Tutorial: video import and export related to GIF animation-PS tutorial

Today, we will introduce how to import and export GIF animation videos. You can import a video as an animated clip by running the [File> Import> video frame to layer] command. This command requires the system to install QuickTime7.1 and above. Photoshop CS3Create a plane AnimationLast Lecture: video import and export operations related to GIF animation.
　　 Import video as animation material

You can import a video as the animation material by using the [File> Import> video frame to layer] command. This command requires that QuickTime7.1 or a later version be installed in the system. Otherwise, the warning box shown in is displayed. QuickTime is an excellent video encoding method created by Apple. it can only be used in mac OS systems in early years and has been transplanted to Windows systems. You can download the free version of the player from the Apple website at http://www.apple.com.cn/quicktime.
In Photoshop, the "File> Open as" command is to enable the image in the form required for a special purpose, and then save it as the format of this special purpose, it is actually an open command with the conversion function. You can see the file formats for various purposes in the "open as" project. We will introduce some special format applications in other tutorials. Note that not all files support all special formats.

Next we will give a brief introduction to other video formats: 3G is used for mobile phones and can be sent as MMS (note the capacity limit of MMS); FLC is the 256-color animation format in the early DOS system; FLV is a popular Flash video on the network; QuickTime, apple TV, iPod and iPhone are APPLE video formats, the latter two are handheld devices; MPEG-4 is called MP4, it is also commonly used in handheld devices. We do not need to learn more about video encoding. we will have the opportunity to introduce it in video-related tutorials in the future. The MP3 Audio format that we are familiar with belongs to the MPEG-1, which is called Audio Layer3.

The "image sequence" method outputs an animation into multiple static images, and the image file name is named progressively. By default, the image size is the document size, which can be changed to another size. However, if the image size is changed to a large size, pixel restructuring may cause image quality loss. Note that some compression types, such as PAL-DV, are rendered at their fixed sizes. The output range is generally set to all frames, that is, the entire animation. if you have special requirements, you can change it to another method. The Alpha channel can output videos with multi-level translucent information for merging in video editing software such as Premiere. We recommend that you maintain the speed set in the document at the frame rate. playing on a computer is normal, but some special-purpose playback devices have a fixed frame rate, for example, converting to PAL (25fps) or NTSC (about 30fps), copy as a film (24fps), or so on, otherwise the effect may be affected due to non-synchronization.

In addition to Photoshop, some software can also be used to create GIF animation, which is simpler in some aspects. For example, the GIF animation produced by Ulead is one of them. it can easily make some static images into animations of various styles and add some text or graphics. You can also output the sequence of frames in the animated GIF. The output format can also be PSD. each frame is stored in a layer and transparent information is retained. Open the PSD file in Photoshop, click the extension menu in the upper-right corner of the animation board in the frame mode, and select "create frame from layer" to create an animation in the form of an independent layer. In actual production, you can use such software to complete some simple works.
The last job is to use materials to simulate the following animations. Click here to download the clip image. The animation is in the size of 128x160. it was used to brush the Moto L6 mobile phone as the boot animation. However, it can also be used for MMS. There are no technical difficulties in this animation. observe the animation details carefully and try some implementation methods to find the most convenient way. Add your own ideas to form a new animation.
Now you have full GIF animation production capabilities. you can use photos, videos, or your own images to create GIF images. Send the animation to friends and family in a multimedia message, and add your blessing words to it. You can also send it to me. my mobile phone is currently QVGA resolution (240x320 ). In addition, we hope to see the widely used excellent MMS on the Internet.

So far, the animation part of the Photoshop extension tutorial has ended, and you can continue to learn the webpage design part. If you find any errors during reading, please correct them. Your support is the source of continuous improvement in the tutorial. I hope that you can spread the learned knowledge to more people so that they can access and learn the knowledge, learn from each other, and make progress together.
