Rotating animation!

Can sum1 tell me how to create a rotating animation in photoshop?? plzzzzzzzzzz:upray

I think you'll need to have imageready.Do multiple frames reducing the horizontal size of the logo each time.Then repeat those frames again to its original size.That should create a rotating logo.

Something like this,frames:Original Size:Smaller horizontally:Even smaller horizontally:Smallest Horizontally:Even smaller horizontally::Smaller horizontally:Original Size.

Try this.

well...I didnt understand a thing(I hav imageready)

I did i might try it today

If u did then make a tut for it!

tut for me 2 ...

Sid is right.

Take the object you want to rotate (I'll be using the BLIC logo) and copy the layer



Use scale to make the new layer smaller, a little bit off the left and a little bit off the right.



Take this new layer and copy that. Then do the same again, making it a little bit smaller.



Repeat the process over and over until you end up with something very thin. I find it helps to hide all of the older layers it can become very cluttered.



Make the first frame the original layer then one frame for each layer you made in sequence. Here I havent done that, I have simply made frames going back up to the original layer.

ie

layer 1
layer 1 copy
layer 1 copy 2
layer 1 copy 3
layer 1 copy 4
layer 1 copy 5
layer 1 copy 6
layer 1 copy 7
layer 1 copy 8
layer 1 copy 7
layer 1 copy 6
layer 1 copy 5
layer 1 copy 4
layer 1 copy 3
layer 1 copy 2
layer 1 copy

If you've managed to follow this you should end up with something like this.
(Remember you must use "save optimized as" not "save as")



If you want complete rotation, you need a lot more frames.

To make it easier I renamed all the layers in order.



Then I made copy's of each layer



Each of the copied layers is then horizontally flipped



Then comes making the frames, for full rotation of this image the sequence is as follows

Layer 1
Layer 2
Layer 3
Layer 4
Layer 5
Layer 6
Layer 7
Layer 8
Layer 9
Layer 9 copy
Layer 8 copy
Layer 7 copy
Layer 6 copy
Layer 5 copy
Layer 4 copy
Layer 3 copy
Layer 2 copy
Layer 1 copy (Now the image is rotated halfway around so you now need to reverse the layer sequence, so....)
Layer 2 copy
Layer 3 copy
Layer 4 copy
Layer 5 copy
Layer 6 copy
Layer 7 copy
Layer 8 copy
Layer 9 copy
Layer 9
Layer 8
Layer 7
Layer 6
Layer 5
Layer 4
Layer 3
Layer 2

This gives you full rotation

Great tutorial kev!!!

Excellent stuff Kev.I have a small question here.While scaling the logo how do I make sure that the center is always the same? (i.e when I try scaling the logo from the right the logo shifts a bit towards the left,so Im having to move it to the center each time.)

Thanx for the tut kev...But i meant the rotaion of this type!

Thats even easier,for that I think just use frames with a bit more rotation each time(rotate,using free transform or transform->rotate) and then eventually get to the original frame itself).

Sid, The easiest is to just make sure you shrink it by the same amount from each side each time or you can just stuck a guide line down the centre. If you wanted to be really accurate you could put guidelines at regular intervals (one of each level of shrinkage) and then snap to them.

great tut Kev reps for it

tween an be used effectively for rotating

great tut KEV...excellent stuff...
