Swimming Template

Open template in PSP, open the font and shrink to task bar

Now this is a lot of work but fun.....add a new layer and type your name..one letter at a time and each letter on it's own layer... and place them down the side of the pool,all capital letters.....stroke set at black...fill set at your colour...line set at 1... size set at 36....place your letters down the side of the pool and re name each letter in your layer palette

Duplicate each man for as many letters in your name and place them down the side of the pool...like so

Now your layer palette should look like this

1)Close off all layers except the pool layer and all the man 1 layer....edit... copy merged...open animation shop....right click and paste as new animation

2)Close off all the man 1....open all the man 2....edit copy merged... in animation shop...right click on first frame...paste after current frame

When moving your man I used the de form tool, I clicked on the layer to make it active and then clicked on the de form tool.. holding down the ctrl key and using the arrows to the right of the keyboard...move each man, this way he will move smoothly

3)Close off all of man 2...open all of man 3...now move each man over a little to wards the other side of the pool... stagger each man...like so

Edit...copy merged...in AS...right click on last frame and paste after current frame

4)Move each man over a little more and keep him staggered...edit...copy merged...in As...right click on last frame and paste after current frame

5)Move each man over a little more and keep him staggered...edit...copy merged...in As...right click on last frame and paste after current frame

6)Move each man over a little more this time have each one touch the other side of the pool...edit...copy merged...in As...right click on last frame and paste after current frame

Make each man 3 layer active, one at a time and ..image mirror... we have to turn him around.....now once again move each man out from the pool and ...edit...copy merged....in AS...click on last frame...paste after current frame

8)move each man out from the pool and ...edit...copy merged....in AS...click on last frame...paste after current frame

9)move each man out from the pool and stagger him again, something like this because the next move will open a letter

...edit...copy merged....in AS...click on last frame...paste after current frame

10)Open the first letter of your name....move the first man over to that letter...move the letter so his hand sits on the letter.... and move each of the other men over just a tad to show they are moving.... edit...copy merged.....in AS....right click on last frame and paste after current frame

11)Open the next letter of your name....move the second man over to that letter...move the letter so the hand sits on the letter.... and move each of the other men over just a tad to show they are moving.... edit...copy merged.....in AS....right click on last frame and paste after current frame

12)Open the next letter of your name....move the third man over to that letter...move the letter so the hand sits on the letter.... and move each of the other men over just a tad to show they are moving.... edit...copy merged.....in AS....right click on last frame and paste after current frame

13)Open the next letter of your name....move the fourth man over to that letter...move the letter so the hand sits on the letter.... and move each of the other men over just a tad to show they are moving.... edit...copy merged.....in AS....right click on last frame and paste after current frame

13)Open the next letter of your name....move the fifth man over to that letter...move the letter so the hand sits on the letter.... and move each of the other men over just a tad to show they are moving.... edit...copy merged.....in AS....right click on last frame and paste after current frame

14)Open the next letter of your name....move the sixth man over to that letter....move the letter so the hand sits on the letter.... and move each of the other men over just a tad to show they are moving.... edit...copy merged.....in AS....right click on last frame and paste after current frame

15)Open the next letter of your name....move the seventh man over to that letter....move the letter so the hand sits on the letter.... edit...copy merged.....in AS....right click on last frame and paste after current frame

16)Mine is finished now we will set the frame properties, I set all my frames at 33 and the last frame set at 100,Robert's tag is set...... all frames set at 100, try that and if it doesn't work for you try my settings now my computer is old and I couldn't get the animation to work set at 100

I also re sized mine to 200, made it a little smaller

Thanks Robert for another great tag
