Ps/ir [ Motion Blur Effect ]

[xYunaxFantasiesXP]

This is my very first tutorial. tell me if you like it! I will teach you how to use photoshop and image ready to make something like this:


1. open up a new transparent document. it should be 200 px high and 400 px wide
2. fill it with wat ever color you want your background to be. In this case, mine was black.
3. now take you text tool and type the first part of your message. it can be any setting. i made mine 60 pt Arial. rename this layer, text part 1

4. go to your layers pallete, right click on the layer with your text on it, and select rasterize layer. then, right click again and duplicate the layer. this should be called text part 1 copy
5. with the new layer selected, go to filter>blur>motion blur with these settings:

6. you should now have 3 layers, a layer 1(with your background color), the text layer, and the text layer copy (which should be blurred). click on the eye next to the text layer and its copy. this will make them disappear.
7. select your text tool again. and type in the second half of your message. this should be named text part 2

8. again, rasterize the text layer and duplicate it. name it text part 2 copy. select the new layer and go to filter>blur>motion blur. use the same settings as in step 5 except change the angle to 40.
9. now that you have all of the pictures, we will move on the the second half of this: animation. clik on the jump to imageready button.



10. now that you are in imageready, look at the animation part of your screen.
there should only be one frame.
create 3 more frames by pressing this twice:

11. go back to the first frame. on the layers pallette, make it so that you can only see the background and text part 1.
12. now go to the 2nd frame. and make it so that you can only see text part 1 copy.
13. go the the 3rd frame. make it so that you can only see text part 2
14. finally, go the the 4th frame. make it so that you can only see text part 2 copy
15. go back to the 1st frame. click on the "tween" button:

use these settings:

this will add 4 frames between the 1st and 2nd frame.
16. go to the 6th frame and do this again.
17. go to the 11th frame and do it again.
18. now, go to the very last frame, and do it again but change the part that says "next frame" to "first frame."
19. at the bottom of every frame there is a little triangle

click on this triangle and select .1 seconds for every single frame. this makes a short delay for every frame so that it doesn't move too fast.
20. click on the internet explorer icon or the icon for wat ever internet provider you have to preview your picture. if you like it, go to file>save optimized as and save your image as a .gif

HI thx for tutorials. Oh and Hi matt. It's Eroth. Anyway Do you know a way to do it with pictures? I've been trying forever and haven't figured it out.

Just use an image instead of text, blur an image instead of text, and animate an image instead of text.
