I owe a huge explanation to those of you who are still hanging around here. It takes a while to get the hang of it, I’m still learning/experimenting but a lot of it you just teach yourself as well.I’ve been thinking about coming back for months now, but I’ve waited and waited until I was sure that it wasn’t just because I missed it, but also because I wanted it, which is different. I’m always happy to answer any questions to help out with photoshop/giffing. Woo you made it to the end congrats!! And here is the finished product: Then export>save for web again with the same settings as before. It depends on the length of the gif and how fast paced the scene is as well. I usually use a speed of either 0.05 or 0.06. Then select all the frames and click this little arrow. So open the gif that you just saved using file>open.

You can’t do this before the sharpening/saving bc it will automatically reset it. We then need to change the speed of the gif. I sometimes untick transparency bc it can make it a little clearer but it also makes the gif larger so I’m not going to bother with this one bc it’ll definitely be over 3MB and I don’t wanna cut out more frames. The ones in the red circle are the most important. These are the settings I usually use (for new girl at least): Then select filter>sharpen>smart sharpen. Then select filter>convert for smart filters. Then click this tab to convert to video timeline. Don’t select those and don’t select the text layer either. I select all the frames on the bottom and on the right EXCEPT for all the added colouring layers. With the text layer still selected, click this tab again and select “match layer across frames” with all three boxes ticked. Then move the text around until you are happy with the position. I only select “stroke” with a size of 1 and “drop shadow” Once you have typed the text, double click the section in the red circle. I select that little tab in the red circle and choose a width of 540px that way it will automatically calculate the height. Again it depends what size gif you’re making. Don’t over do it bc otherwise your gifs will look grainy and oversaturated. I tend to try and enhance blues and pinks if possible. Like I said I won’t include much about the colouring but generally I add curves, levels, colour balance, selective colour and vibrance. Then while selecting the last frame I start the colouring process. I then delete all the layers but leave the frames. Then click this little tab and select “flatten frames into layers” I’m making a 540px wide gif so I’ll cut it down to around 50 frames.

It also depends what size gif you are making. Also make sure there aren’t too many frames bc tumblr has a size limit of 3MB. Then delete any unnecessary frames that you don’t want in your gif. Also make sure to choose “selected range only” and “make frame animation” You don’t want to choose too much bc it will take forever and photoshop will warn you if its more than 500 frames.

Then choose the part from the clip that you actually want to gif using the little cursors in the bottom right red circle.
