Graphic by OkieDee..... Bikers

Let's begin!

......................................

Template

I only enclosed debussy font in case you want to do the tour de France tut, it cannot be done with the font in my first tag

Open your template in PSP....shift D to make a copy and close off the original

Open you font and shrink it to taskbar

add a new layer.....close off the graphic layer...with your text tool size 48...font Debussy....line set at 1...stroke set at black ....fill set at your colour...floating and antalias checked.... type your name....add an inner bevel with these settings

Change the colour to your colour, I changed mine to pink

On the layer palette...click on the text layer and drag it under the graphic layer..... Move your text down so it is just under the heads of the bikers....

Ok, let's get this thing rolling....

We will move the bike by clicking on the de form tool... holding down the ctrl key and with the arrows to the right of the keyboard...move your bike

1)Close off the graphic layer....layers>merge visible...edit...copy merged.....open animation shop....edit...paste as new animation..

2)Open the graphic....click on your de form tool and move the bike way off the canvas to the left so only the nose is showing...edit>copy merged..... in AS...right click on the canvas....paste after current frame

3)Back in PSP... click on your de form tool and move you bike forward...I moved mine about 4 squares each time... edit...>copy merged....in AS...right click on last frame.....paste after current frame

4)Back in PSP... click on your de form tool and move you bike forward about 4 squares ... edit...>copy merged....in AS...right click on last frame.....paste after current frame

5)Back in PSP... click on your de form tool and move you bike forward about 4 squares... edit...>copy merged....in AS...right click on last frame.....paste after current frame

Keep working this way until you reach frame 16, by now they should be right off the canvas

16)Back in PSP...close off the graphic.....with the text layer active layer... click on the de form tool and holding down the shift key...grab the right hand upper node and pull it over about 1 square to the right... now do the same with the left hand upper node....move it to the right.....we have to create the wind...edit...copy merged... in AS....right click on the last frame and paste after current frame

17)With the text layer active layer... click on the de form tool and holding down the shift key...grab the right hand node and pull it over...about 1 more square...to the right... now do the same with the left upper node...move to the right....edit...copy merged... in AS....right click on the last frame and paste after current frame

18)One more time....with the text layer active layer... click on the de form tool and holding down the shift key...grab the right hand upper node and pull it over...about 1 more square...to the right.....now do the same with the left upper node...move to the right....edit...copy merged... in AS....right click on the last frame and paste after current frame

19) In AS....right click on frame 17....copy....right click on last frame...paste after current frame

20)In AS....right click on frame 16....copy....right click on last frame....paste after current frame

21)In AS... right click on the first frame....copy....right click on the last frame ....paste after current frame

Let's change the frame proerties

Frame 1 set at 100

Frame 2 to 21 set at 10

All Done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
