Storm...

We're still talking about the ying yang browser ani here right?


Isn't the numbers going to be "visible" all the time in the animation? And then they'll move right to left when the ani runs.


In this case, you would only need the numbers on one layer. Make that layer visible all the time. And to create movement, simply pick the MOVE tool and use the arrow keys to nudge the numbers layer to the left 3-5 pixels. Do this ONLY for about 3-5 columns of numbers, and then return the number layer back to it's starting position to start the moving process over again.


In animation, the eye is very easily folled into seeing something that's not really there. It will 'fill in the blanks' so-to-speak. So moving the number over only 3-5 columns is all that needed.


Understanding now?


3 images...

a) example of what the number type layer would look like as it was first created. And as it would be placed, underneath the animation shape.


b) after a Layer Mask is added to the type number layer, to contain it within the animtion shape area. And, what you would do to the number layer to make it appear to move.


c) what the layers might look like, showing the number layer below the animation shape layer(s), and with the Layer Mask added to it.


What is our favorite program/app? (Hint - it begins and ends with the letter P)
