Who this course is for:
- This course is perfect for those already familiar with Photoshop but who have never used it for animation or video before, and are seeking a comprehensive Photoshop animation tutorial.
- Multimedia artists, animators, and video editors who haven’t tried adding Photoshop to their toolkit will find this course useful as they explore how to create animation in Photoshop.
- Beginners and novices to Photoshop can also benefit from this course as they are guided through the entire process of animating in Photoshop step by step.
What you’ll learn:
- Harness the power of Photoshop to create simple or complex 2-D animations.
- Animate and draw directly over video clips to enhance or completely transform them.
- Access a full array of public domain and royalty-free still images and video resources to use in your unique projects.
- Capture and animate complex movements with ease by using video as your guide.
- Create stunning animations and video/animation combos that can be exported as stand-alone movies or brought into other programs to be combined with other 2D and 3D multimedia sources.
- Make simple but powerful animated GIFs for your websites or social media pages.
Requirements:
- Nothing special is needed before taking this course except for an open mind and a willingness to play and experiment with Photoshop’s animation tools. That said, those with at least a basic familiarity with Photoshop will be the most comfortable getting started.
- Free 30-day trials of Photoshop are available from Adobe’s website.
Are you ready to take your videos to the next level with this step-by-step Photoshop animation tutorial?
This easy-to-follow course will help you make original, custom animations using Adobe Photoshop that look professional and can be used as stand-alone movies (without needing any other software) or in combination with other videos, animation, and multimedia software programs for a full range of effects and purposes.
In this course, you will learn my very favorite animation and video rotoscoping techniques to create powerful multimedia projects ranging from laughably simple (think stick figures waving) to more sophisticated and complex (such as my own award-winning series of films screened internationally at film festivals and online since 2002).
In this course, you’ll learn how to:
- Harness the power of Photoshop to create simple or complex frame-by-frame animations, with or without using Photoshop’s timeline, in your journey of animating in Photoshop.
- Easily turn a regular video into a stop-motion animated video by making simple frame rate adjustments, mastering how to create animation in Photoshop.
- Apply a full range of effects to your video to create animated elements or a stand-alone animation even if YOU CAN’T DRAW.
- Coax Photoshop to animate objects and layers for you (without having to draw anything) by making position, size, and opacity changes, to name just a few possibilities.
- Craft multiple effects at once to create more complex final animations by using multiple layers.
- Capture complex movements by bringing in a video, drawing right over it, and (optionally) discarding the video guide so that all that is left is your new animation with its sophisticated movements. (That’s rotoscoping!)
I start from the very beginning using Adobe Photoshop. Free 30-day trials of Photoshop are available from Adobe’s website, but many of the techniques I show you in this course (such as frame-by-frame animation) can be achieved in virtually any imaging software combined with your favorite video editing program.
All of my techniques are explained so that you will 100% understand how they work. You can then decide how much time you will spend on each animation, which will then affect your end results.
