Motley melteshenie banners, "live" pictures, avatars, and other multimedia chips on the pages of many sites can not fail to have an inquisitive "nick" the desire to learn how to create an animation.But the World Wide Web has been so tenacious that many people, sticking to her sometimes forget or do not even know about all the possibilities of your own computer and rarely drop (drop if at all) in the Microsoft Office folder in the "Start" menu.But there is, in addition to such high-profile and popular services such as Word, Excel, Outlook, etc., There is a really strong (as it says the name) application PowerPoint.
Animation in PowerPoint
This program is known for its rich variety of easy-to-use, yet effective tools for creating presentations, and these opportunities application "a lot of songs composed," but how to create animations in Powerpoint, say much less.The fact that this function is just provided for the revival of the presentations, and in addition, a lot of Web services, which can be quickly and easily "concoct" an animated image.Nevertheless, the ability of PowerPoint to the plan, by bribing its simplicity and effects, worthy of attention, especially since there are ways to save animations (not a presentation!), Despite the fact that the application is not provided.
The easiest way to explain how to create animations using circuit training "do as I do."To demonstrate the fundamental features of the program will be enough to create a primitive animation, rental Bun, who offered to play the role of one of the standard pieces of the application.
Open PowerPoint and if you meet the inscription "The first slide," then click in the working area and complete the cover sheet of the future of animation (the first slide), create a title on the page "Home" and then go to the "Design" for decoration background.Here you can select one of the proposed themes, customize colors, fonts and effects, choose "Background Styles" or refuse to display the background image included in the selected theme, tick "Hide backgrounds."If you click the diagonal arrow to the right of "Background" opens a window "Format Background" where you can select the type of fill, texture or image.Just do not press the "Apply to all" if we want to have frames of animation was different background.
Just above the first slide, click the small triangle on the "New Slide" and select "Blank Slide" (Blank), then complete your background as described above.
Next "Insert" & gt;"Figures" & gt;smiley "smiling face" (bun), click on the workspace and transformation of shapes to fit your needs.Go to the "Home" Bun can be repainted ("Fill"), delineate and add an effect.Now specifically about how to create an animation, step by step.
Set figure at the beginning of movement to "to start", right click on the "Slides" on the right and select "Duplicate Slide", then slightly move the "Bun" in the direction of motion, just scroll clockwise.This is the first phase of a full cycle of movement of the object.Then again, duplicate, but a copy, put the figure in the next phase of the motion with the rotation, and so on.From the number of duplicates and step displacement will depend roll "bun" evenly and smoothly or will "tear the claws" from her grandmother, jumping and twitching like a fox bitten off stump.
link to this page "Animation" and select the transition speed between the frames, select "Automatically after" and set the time (in seconds).If less than a second, you need to insert a comma after the right pair of zeros and enter the desired value.
If you press the "Custom Animation" will open on the right panel of the same name, where you can add objects to the effect, after selecting it, and choose to display.
finished "video shoot", go to the "Slide Show" to view and operate the button "From the beginning."
file is now possible to "Save" in one of the formats available in PowerPoint, including the expansion of gif, but in the latter case it would be just a set of static images, but we are interested in how to create a gif animation.The way out is ridiculously simple - you can use the program converters, for example, "Powerpoint PPT to AVI GIF Converter".This tool easily converts .PPTX files in GIF and AVI.
If you installed the program Camtasia Studio to record the image on the screen, especially if it is included as an add-in package your application, the problem of creating gif animation allowed itself.However, despite the mass and variety of effects in Powerpoint, the creative possibilities are somewhat limited, so many users, there is a natural desire to find out how to create the animation in "Photoshop".
Animation in ImageReady
Surely not all switched to the most recent modification of the "Photoshop" and use "older" versions of the program ImageReady, which is supplied with "Photoshop" to CS3, and then was removed as unnecessary as a separate application in connectionwith the inclusion of its functions in the "main" editor.Therefore, it seems appropriate to deal first with the animation in ImageReady, the more so that the application can be run directly from the "Photoshop" pressing the lowest button on the toolbar.If the "Photoshop" image was opened, we see it in ImageReady, and note that the interface has not changed, but there was a bar at the bottom of the animation (Animation), which is one frame with a sketch of the loaded image, if it is a single layer.This panel can be opened and the menu "Window" (Window), select 'Show the animation "(Show Animation).
One layer image - one frame, and if a few layers, the same will and frames that can be a cartoon.Thus, the easiest way to create an animation - is to prepare a multi-layer design, where each layer will contain one of the phases of successive transformation of the object, whether it is motion, change in shape, color, clarity, content, or something else.You can not move the object, but only to change his appearance.
completed work on the "script" in the Layers palette, click the arrow button in the top right corner of the panel and select 'Create frames from layers "(Make Frames From Layers), convert each layer in a separate block, where the first is the lowestlayer, and the last uppermost.
Now you can turn on the entire volume of the "Play animation" (Play / Stop animation) and see the result.The delay on the screen for each frame can be changed by clicking on the measly triangle next to the value in sec.It is desirable that at least some time, it was because the scrolling speed "0" every browser understands differently.
In the animation mode scroll with the name of one of them (Forever / Always) under the first frame to the left, you can choose Once (Once) or Other (Other), which indicate the number of cycles.
clicking in the panel animation on one of the pictures created from a multi-layer pattern, we can adjust it on the canvas, as in the Layers glazik will be open only in that layer (but this does not mean that you can not show the other, adding, if necessary, the details of the selected frame).This feature allows you to create animations, drawing frame by frame.Open any file, create a new frame in it (button duplicate the current layer), and a new layer in the words (if you choose Make Frames From Layers) draw, for example, three.Duplicate the frame with the number, go to a new layer, and closing glazik previous layer with a triple, draw dvoechku.Duplicate the frame with the two, go to the next layer, the previous closing eyes and draw yedinichku.We set the time delay and include the "countdown start."
in ImageReady, you can create an animation from pre-made pictures by selecting menu File (File) & gt;Import (Import) command Folder as Frames (Folder as frames), in which all files are distributed in layers and frames in the order in which were stacked in a folder.Therefore, to footage shuffle palette animation need to number them.Also, a better result when all the files of the same size and resolution.
program itself is still able to create intermediate frames of animation, if it figures suggest the initial and final state of the object.For this there is a button Tween (Animate the image by using intermediate frames), which includes the process of taking into account selected in the Options dialog box.
Animation layers without
You can make an animation, does not create new layers.Let's say we have a drawing of a single layer.Remove the check mark from the command Make Frames From Layers (New footage of the layers), create a new frame (the button with a curved leaf duplicate the current layer / duplicate the current layer), go to him and on the canvas to drag objects somewhere (position), or change the opacity(opacity), or add effects (effects), or choose all at once.Then click Tween, specify the number of frames set where you need a tick and OK.Animation is ready, you can run.
If one of the picture elements must be fixed, for example pattern, then a layer palette in each frame should be opened and glazik lower layer, in addition to one of the upper.
to create GIF-animation choose the command Save Optimized As from the File menu and specify the location to save files, but first it is desirable to move to the tab Optimized, 2-Up, 4-Up at the top left of the main window ImageReady and connecting palette Optimize (top right), to try to reduce the size of GIF-file.
based animation video
Starting with version CS3, in addition to the panel, and animation features ImageReady, assimilated with the program, "Photoshop" there is another possibility for solving such problems, how to create animation, but on the basis of video files.This function is enabled the command Video Frames to Layers (Video Frames to Layers) in the menu File (File) & gt;Import (Import).
Select a video file to GIF-animation, the parameters of which we propose to define the dialog box.Here we tell the program which part of the video file you want to include in the process by selecting either the "From start to finish" (From Beginning To End), or "only the selected range" (Selected range only).Then expose the number of frames that you want to leave (Leave a / Limit to every) and mark a tick "Create a frame animation" (Make Frame Animation).To select a range of trim elements used are located below the video.
Click OK, and before us the image of the first frame of the future GIF-video, and the video source (or fragment) is already broken in sequential order on the layers in the Layers panel and the footage in a familiar navigation bar (Animation).We lose, we make adjustments, if necessary, and save the animation by clicking the "Save for Web ..." (Save for Web ...) in menu File (File), and configuring the settings file for its optimization.
"scenarios" for animation
To implement these tasks, how to create a gif-animation, you can use the command Load files into stack (Load Files into Stack) menu File (File) & gt;Scripts (scripts). In the dialog box, select any files individually or folder with images prepared in advance by using the button "Browse (B) ...".It is possible, as in the embodiment with the import, use the video, but in this case will have to pre-convert video into images, but after converting the files are named in sequence will be, in any case, does that program-converter Free Video To JPG Converter.
further development of the script in some detail depends on the version of "Photoshop", but in any case at bar animation (Animation) or the timeline (Timeline) in CS6 will be only one (the first) frame.Select (with the key Shift) all the layers in the Layers palette, expand the drop-down menu in the top right corner of the Animation (Timeline) and select the Create Frame Animation (New footage of the layers).Without wasting time scrolling, opening a pop-up menu again and choose the command Reverse Frames (reverse order of frames) because when loading images as layers, distributed from last to first.Next you need to "Select all images" (Select All Frames) and set the delay time for all of them.Now we lose and if are satisfied, save animations by selecting "Save for Web ..." (Save for Web ...) in menu File (File).
Version photoshop "CS6" timeline became known as the timeline in the same "Window" menu.There is a new team Create Video Timeline (Create a timeline for video), on which the panel is really transformed into a typical timeline video editor where all the shots are distributed along the paths.In each frame by the key points can be changed over time a number of parameters, including defaults are "Position", "Opacity" and "Style".For time-lapse animation timeline transform the command "Create animation frame."
