Now lets give our paper some texture..
Go to effect...all...texture filter...animal hide..change fiber length to 6 Place your stamper in position so that the handle does not go above your paper..if you want to add something else to your image..as a flower..etc..do so now... Select ctrl/shift/A..so all are active.. go to web/image optimizer/ save as your first gif transparent frame.. mask options..matt ..none |
|
|
For your second frame...move your stamper down lower on your paper..again
go to
web/image optimizer..save as a transparent gif.. mask options..matt..none |
|
|
For your last frame ...Move your stamper back up a bit....and
go to transform tool and rotate it 10 degrees..so it looks as shown..always
make sure you handle never comes out of your paper..or you animation will
be jumpy.
Go to text..put in your name...so it looks like you just stamped it... save again as before....take into gif animator...find the 3 frames you saved... set frame rates at 45...you can always change them later if you are not happy with how it looks. I changed last frame rate to 150.. to change your frame rate.. right click on the frame at the bottom of the page....frame properites. put in what you desire. Preview...satisfied? save it....and there you go! Enjoy ! |
