Can Som1 Tell Me How To Do This Type Of Animation?

I need to know how I can do this type of "flashing animation" to a sig, thanks in advance

 

Just fad the layer in and out.

This method works for Imageready 7:
-Make a layer for the flash of light (looks like a render of a lens flare)
-Add a new slide to the animation and take that lens flare layer and fade the opacity down.
-Then tween the two slides adding more frames for a smoother (and larger) animation.

 

1. Open up an image you want in imageready

2. Duplicate the original layer

3. On the new layer go to Filter>Render>Lens Flare

4. Choose your lens flare type(he used the first one on this tag) and brightness

5. Turn this new layers opacity to 0%

6. Make a new layer in the animation pallete

7. With this new animation layer selected change your duplicate layer's(the one with the flare) opacity back to 100%

8. Press the "tween" button in the animation pallete and use the settings as follows:
Tween with:Previous Frame
Frames to Add:20
Layers:All Layers
Parameters:Position, Opacity, Effects(all checked)

9. Make a new layer in the animation pallete

10. With this new animation layer selected change your duplicate layer's(the one with the flare) opacity back to 0%

11. Press the "tween" button in the animation pallete and use the settings as follows:
Tween with:Previous Frame
Frames to Add:20
Layers:All Layers
Parameters:Position, Opacity, Effects(all checked)

12. Now go to File>Save Optimized As... and call it what you want

13. Done


Note: if you want the animation to wait a bit to turn the light back on just duplicate the first frame a couple of times.

 

You can do all of that in PS CS4. Set your workspace to animation and go to Save for Web when you're ready to save.

ImageReady is dead

 

alrighty, thank u guys very much

 

It's so stupid that they made another PS after only one year of CS3 Imo.

 

Yeah the upgrades need to be a bit cheaper if they are going to continue doing that.

 

the original sig maker could've came up with something a little more creative than a lens flare imo..

 

LOL yes that is a pretty bad effect. From what I've seen on GFX sites, pop out sigs are usually considered amateurish.
