Tag by Robert If you are going to make your own template...you will open the original in AS...edite>select all...export to PSP...here you will close off all frames and open a new canvas about 1200 by 500...really big but you need room...now make frame 1 the active frame...copy...paste on your new canvas as a new layer... now you will have to do this for as many letters that are in your name....close off frame 1...click on frame 2...copy paste on to the new canvas as a new layer...now you have to make sure you put it right on top of the previous frame and you have to do it as many times as letters in your name...making sure they are placed directly on top of the previous frame so you won't get any jump... do this with every frame in the original template....when all done...add a new layer and flood fill with black... duplicate the black background and open layer 1...layers>merge...do this with each layer to get a background on all layers...great big challenge here and a whole lot of work...just think... Robert had to think this up and it's well worth all the work
On with the directions
First make text...I used flubber...enclosed...size set at 72...line set at 4.. stroke set at white ...fill set at red...floating and antalias checked... add a new layer and type 1 letter of your name... place it on the first pumpkin...add a new layer and do this with each letter of your name.... making sure each letter is on it's own layer...when the letters are all placed on the pumpkins...close off any open layers and layers>merge....re name text
1)Open layer 12...duplicate and drag down text....now we are going to move the text with the de form tool each time...that way you will get no jump in the name....so with the text layer the active layer....click the de form tool... with the ctrl key held down and using the arrows to the right of the keyboard....move the text down so it is just peeking out of the pumpkin......lasso the text that is showing and delete...layers>merge... close off and re name
This is the way we will move the text each time...I will not add this to each layer 2)Open layer 13.....duplicate and drag down...text...move it so more is showing ...lasso and text that shows outside the pumpkins ...delete...layers>merge ... close off and re name
3)Just do this on frame 12,13 and 14....frame 15 the text is right out of the pumpkins and showing...
Frame 16...open frame 16...duplicate and drag down ...text....move it down into the pumpkins...lassoing any text that shows on the pumpkins...layers>merge...close off and re name...
Do this with frame 17 ...moving the text lower into the pumpkins....layers>merge...cloe off and re name
Layer 18 the text should just be peeking out now...
Open all the layers and save as
.............Animation..................
Open AS... open your graphic...now let's crop it because it is way too big...click the crop tool....click options...click select opaque are... click crop....edit>select all...animation...re size..to 400...or your choice
Edit>select all...animation properties set at 22...frames 16,17,18...frame properties set at 33....right click on last frame...animation properties set at 150
All done...just click the animation button and change any of the frames to your likeing
Thanks Robert for a great tag |
