Love animation pictures- sparkles, and photoshop in this moment not available? will help you online service, which can create complex live pictures with animated elements (there they are called stamps or stamps). Moreover, you can upload your details for animated pictures there: sparkles, animations and simply beautiful pictures.

Here is one of the animations that I made in PixMix in 5 minutes

How to start using the online photo editor PixMix

After you have downloaded the background of the future live picture. Select a stamp, click on it (yellow arrow) and click on the brush (green arrow). After you click on the picture, a circle will appear there - this is a brush. You can increase or decrease the size by moving the slider at the top (blue frame).

The animation pictures that you will place on the picture do not move or get smaller, they will simply be paved, that is, placed in rows against the background. And in order to leave one or more in the right places, you just need to wipe them with the “Eraser” tool.

You can write glitter or plain text with a stroke on your animated masterpiece. To do this, click on the letter “T” (yellow arrow). Write text (blue arrow). At the top, select the font style (Turquoise Arrow) and stroke (lilac) or no stroke (red).

Select the ink on the left (that is, the text fill) when you click on the text in online photo editor The “Ink” section is automatically set

Click on the word “Okay” and you will see the text on your animated picture.

You'll see a rectangular frame around the text and tools at each corner of that frame:

1. Cross – delete
2. Arrow with two tips - make the inscription larger or smaller
3. Rounded arrow – tilt one way or the other
4. Rectangle in a circle - text reproduction

You can change the ink, stroke, and style of the text without changing the text itself. Click “Okay” and see what you get.

And after you create your masterpiece, you need to click on green tick bottom left of the picture. When the service generates a picture, you will be redirected to a page where you need to enter the name of the picture. Description is optional.

There you can select the animation speed. By default it is set to medium.

And finally, you need to click on green button"Registry".

After that, PicMix photo editor will generate your brilliant animated picture. And under your animation picture you will see these functions:

You can also add the sparkles used in this animated picture to your favorites. And they will appear in the “My Favorite Brands” section and you will see them when you start creating a new GIF image. To do this, hover the mouse over the brand and in the window that appears, click on the words “Add to Favorites.”

You can also add brands to your favorites in the STAMPS section on the main menu of the PikMix website.

When we are redirected to another page, click on the words “Version without logo”

And our animated picture opens in a new window.

You can download it to your computer. To do this, click on the animation right click mouse and select “Save image as” in the drop-down window.

Most likely, on Facebook the picture will not be read immediately, but first a publication like this will appear

Don’t rush to click on the word “Publish”. Refresh the page and put the link there again. If the same thing appears again, then refresh the page again. And only when your beautiful animated picture appears, click on the word “Publish”.

The animated picture looks great on Facebook. Google+ and Odnoklassniki. But on VKontakte the picture turns out to be small and to see the animation in all its glory you need to click on it. I don't really like it, to be honest.

And in the “My PicMix” section you can set an avatar for your account as any of the ones you created Gif pictures, for this service.

Now you can create amazing animated pictures online photo editor PicMix and post them on social networks.

And if you don’t understand the screenshots and explanations in my article, then I suggest watching the video tutorial

Inscriptions, pictures and other elements of our slide can move across the screen as you (and they) please - using built-in animation effects.

To “revive” the picture, turn on the tape Animation - It is where all the tools for working with movement are collected.

Select the desired slide element and click on the button Add animation in Group Animation settings or open the list Animation.

All effects in PowerPoint are divided into four groups:

Entrance - effects associated with the appearance of an element on the screen. Objects may gradually fade into view on the screen, “pop out” onto the side of the slide, or suddenly appear on the screen.

Selection - decreasing or increasing the size of an object, changing color, or rotating an object around its center.

Exit - disappearance of an element from the screen. Objects may “fly” off the slide, disappear from view, or gradually disappear, twisting in a spiral.

Travel paths - movement of an element along a certain trajectory (up, down, right, left, or along trajectories in the form of a star or circle).

If you do not find the desired effect in the list that opens, click Additional input (highlight, output) effects at the bottom of the menu.

Any effect can be used alone or in combination with other effects. For example, combining the entry effect Departure and highlight effect Change of size, you can make a line of text appear on the left side of the screen while simultaneously increasing in size.

All these changes do not occur simultaneously, but in the order you specify (the sequence is indicated by numbers (tags) that appear next to each element). The tag is only displayed in normal mode when selecting a tab Animation.

A list of all animation effects on a slide can be viewed in Animation areas. The Animation pane lets you view the type of animation effect, the order in which multiple animation effects play relative to each other, the name of the object to which the effect is applied, and the duration of the effect.

To open Animation area select the item with the same name on the tab Animation in Group Advanced animation.

In the task area, the numbers indicate the order in which the effects are played. The numbers in the task pane correspond to the non-printing numbered tags that appear on the slide.

Timelines show the duration of effects.

The icons represent the type of animation effect. IN in this example this is an effect Entrance.

Button View at the top of the window Animation area allows you to verify proper operation each effect. At the bottom of the window, the arrow buttons are used to change the order of effects.

Select a list item to see a menu icon (down arrow), and then click the icon to open the menu.

Using this menu you can configure the start of the animation:

Launch with a click - The animation effect starts when you click on the slide.

Run together with the previous one - the animation effect plays along with the previous effect. This option combines playback of multiple effects.

Run after previous - the animation effect begins immediately after the previous effect from the list has finished playing.

Menu items Effect Options And Time opens the settings dialog box for a specific animation effect, in which you can set Extra options- sound, time delay, text animation by letter or paragraph level, etc.

And now the most important thing: for each element you can assign not one, but several effects at once. However, they do not necessarily have to follow each other, but can be separated by significant periods of time. For example, an inscription can “fly” onto the screen at the beginning of the demonstration, and at the end, “fly out” from it in exactly the same way.

You can further complicate the task: create SEVERAL types of approximately identical elements (for example, several types of frames with the text of a replica) and superimpose them on each other. If we had worked in a regular graphics editor, it would have turned out to be a mess. But with the help of special effects we can separate these elements in time. If one disappears, another will immediately appear in its place.

This is how, with the help of special effects, you can create an entire show from one single slide.

In order for several elements of a presentation to have the same animation effects, you don't need to monotonously repeat the same operations, trying not to mix up or forget anything - PowerPoint allows you to copy animation by pattern, just as using formatting by pattern you can copy text formatting. With Animation Master, you can copy animation from one object or slide and paste the formatting into another object or slide, across multiple slides, or into a slide master that affects all slides. You can even copy animation from one presentation to another.

After completing the work, see how the slide you created will be shown to the audience in the finished presentation - there is a button on the animation ribbon for this View and button Slide show To play back the finished section of the presentation, go to presentation viewing mode or simply press the button on your keyboard F5.

In that Photoshop lesson you will learn how to add a beautiful, fairy-tale animated effect to an image.

Animated effect - result:

As a basis, I will use this one, which describes step by step how to create it. So let's get started!

Open Photoshop and create in it new document size 800 by 600 pixels.

Before we start creating the animated effect, let's make a few copies of the glitter particle layers. To do this, find the glitter group in the layers panel.

Right-click on it and select Create Duplicate Group.

Now we can start creating our animation. To begin, open the animation panel by going to Window > Animation.

As a result, such a timeline will open for creating animation.

Here you need to go to frames, to do this, click on the Convert to Frame Animation button.

Now we can work with personnel. There are several ways to create animation. So select the first frame and click on the Duplicates selected frames icon at the bottom of the timeline.

The fun begins. Open the glitter group that we recently duplicated. Select the first layer and move its contents down a little.

Do the same with the rest of the layers in this group. Just don't move them too far from the previous move.

Next, click on the Tweens icon, which is also located at the bottom of the timeline. In the window that opens, set the Frames to Add option to 50. Thus, we have a nice smooth animation.

Select the last frame and duplicate it again.

Move the contents of the last layer down. This is the final frame, this is where the animation ends.

Let's create intermediate frames again. Click on the Tweens button and in the window that opens, set 30 frames.

Let's look at some of the available frame options. There are different time variations here. This way you can set the time for each frame. For this animation I set the time to 0.1 seconds.

You can also choose how many times you want to play the animation. Here I selected Forever.

Now you can play the animation and check if everything is ok. First, click on the Convert to Timeline Video icon and then on Play.

If you are happy with how the animation works, then save it by going to the File > Save for Web & Devices tab or pressing the key combination Ctrl + Alt + Shift + S. To save the animation, set the format GIF.

Our animated effect in the form of moving shiny particles is ready! I hope you enjoyed this lesson and learned something new.

Surely everyone knows about small animated pictures, in other words, GIFs. Users of the site vk.com are especially familiar with them because they have the ability to add them in comments. Of course, there is an option to take ready-made images. But you won’t always find what you want, and that’s why I want to talk about services that allow you to create your own animated images. At the same time, you do not need any super computer skills. The full news lists a number of services, so one of them will suit you too!

GIF animations online

1.Loogix

To use this service you need at least 3 images. If you want a GIF that contains more than 3 images, then you can add up to 10 images using the link with the text “Add one more picture”. The service can create an animated image at 5 different speeds. It is also possible to add effects to your animation (for example, “Blur”).

This service also includes two more options for creating animations:
• Creating Reverse Animations

2.Picasion

Picasion very similar in appearance to the Loogix service, but slightly different. In addition, this service offers to import images from the Flickr website using a special image tag (for search).

In addition to the main service, there are three more:
• Making brilliant GIFs
• Creating avatars
• Resizing an Image

3. Gickr

Like the two previous services Gickr uses from 3 to 10 images to create animation. Also, this service allows you not only to create animations various sizes, but also with different speeds(up to 10 seconds). It is possible to import images from Flickr and Picasa.

4. MakeaGIF

Makeagif is an even more simplified service for creating animations than the previous ones discussed. Almost in the center there is a large button with the text “add pictures”, with which you can upload the necessary images. In order to download several images at once, you need to hold down CTRL key and select the ones you need.

In addition to this service there is also:
• Making GIFs from Youtube Videos
• GIFs using a webcam
• Convert video to GIF animation

5. GIFMaker.me

Another service for creating GIF animations which supports formats JPG images, PNG and GIF. Everything you need to create animation is immediately visible. You just need to upload the necessary images, and then, moving the sliders, look at the preview window at the top right.

6. ImgFlip

I’ll say right away that when you create animations on this service, you will have a watermark on your GIFs. To remove this sign, you must have a Pro account. Otherwise, this service is very similar to those we discussed above.

7. GIFPal

In addition to the basic capabilities for creating animations, this service allows you to add various effects for GIFs: brightness, contrast and saturation.
