Animating Layers in Photoshop
Photoshop Video - Open the "Timeline". You can find it under "Window" To use video in Photoshop: 1) Drag a video file onto the Photoshop icon, it will appear in the Layers window and the Timeline window
2) Select the layer and "control"click to bring up the menu. Pick "convert to smart object" 3) To make a new video layer click the drop down menu on the videos timeline and click "new video group". 3a)You can duplicate video layers
4) Layer Adjustments, Blend modes and Opacity all work the same as still images - To save your file "Save As" a .PSD - To save the final video file goto "File" ---- "Render Video"
- pick your favorite video and take notes about the pacing and the types of imagery found in the infographic. How many cuts are there? How many seconds is each cut? How many scenes are there? 3) Research the information you want to get across to your viewer. Develop a storyboard
Step 2 - Make an 'outline'. List out the information you want to show, in the order you want to show it. For an infographic it is the information you want to show the viewer. For a title sequence it is things like the information about the movie (the actors, studio, title, producers...) Example Infographic
Introduction (what are you going to show?) First Part (what are you going to show?) Second Part (what are you going to show?) Third Part (what are you going to show?) Fourth Part (what are you going to show?) Fifth Part (what are you going to show?) Ending (what are you going to show?) Credits (what are you going to show?)
Step 3 - Making a Storyboard A Storyboard breaks the story into pieces that visually show the angle, movement and POV of the camera. Breaking a story into Cuts and Scenes
- Examples of Cuts and Scenes
Storyboarding your Motion Graphic Sequence
Questions to ask yourself!
How many changes do you want to have in the sequence?
What direction is the content moving in each part? How does it relate to the parts before and after?
How long is each part?
What content do you need to collect for each part?
What is the purpose of each part? (what do you want your viewer to get out of it?)
