| Glitter Signatures Now that you have managed to make animated text, let's add that text to a graphic. First you will need to find or create a graphic to use. A transparent GIF is best for this. Then open Animation Shop and open your graphic there.  Now create a new animation (Ctrl+N).  The dimensions you choose will depend on the size of your graphic and text, it doesn't matter if you make it too large; you can crop it later. Now right click the graphic you opened earlier and select copy. Then click your new animation to make it active and press Ctrl+E to paste the image there, then drag the image to where you want it in the frame. We now need to duplicate the frame. My text has three frames so I will need to duplicate the new frame twice. To do this I will right click inside the frame, then click Duplicate Selected. I will then repeat this step. I now have three frames.  Having done this press Ctrl+A to select all of the frames. The next step is to open your glitter text in Animation Shop, then once again press Ctrl+A to select all the frames.  Now press Ctrl+C to copy the frames, then click on the title bar of your new animation to make it active. Then press Ctrl+E, the text will appear in the first frame, drag it to where you want it then left click and the text will appear in all of the frames.  If you need to crop your animation use the crop tool in the toolbar to crop any frame and all frames will be cropped simultaneously. Now save your new animation.  |
