and i almost forgot.
OK! this tutorial was requested by lauw_thagirl and it's going to show you lovely people how to make animated icons such as this:
I tried being all high-tech and ended up making a video of the tutorial instead of typing it out (in other words, i was being ultra lazy)! i really hope this way helps just as much, but if it doesn't, tell me and i won't do it again! *puppy dog eyes*
You'll be using both adobe photoshop and imageready for this tutorial, and the way that i've done it you need to convert the clip you want to use (if it's any other file format than MOV) into a MOV file first, which you can do right here!
If you have any questions about any part of the tutorial or need something cleared up, just leave a comment and i'll do anything i can to help =D
Click to viewNOTES (just some stuff i noticed after watching it again):
*during step 2, select 'limit to every 4th frame'.
btw. song played in the background supermassive black hole by muse, picked simply because it's awesome & because it's on the twilight soundtrack & because i was listening to it while i made the tutorial =D also, FUN FACT: it took me almost an hour to upload this bloody thing on youtube. that's hanoian internet for ya!
