Super newbie question

[rockthepulse]

I am beating myself up trying to figure out how a image like this is created.. does anyone have an idea how it's made? or this one...

I really appreciate it

the first almost looks like it's just cut out of a movie.

okay, for these things I recommend after effects, not photoshop.
After effects is like the Photoshop for videos.

If you're still interested in doing this in after effects, I could help you with that.

 

[rockthepulse]

I will take any help offered because I'm green horns when it comes to this.

 

[chrisix]

Well, do you have after effects?
it actually costs 999,00 US dollars, no joke

 

[rockthepulse]

I'm trying the trial, can you make anything out of the trial?

 

[chrisix]

yes you can. check if you have the option: file>export for web

That can also be done in regular Photoshop..

Needs a bit of planning, image editing, layering, inspiration and perspiration.

Hi RTP, Chris has a great suggestion in using After effects. But both standard animated GIF's and Video GIF's can be easily made using most later versions of Photoshop.

Here are a few tutorials.

How to make Gif from a video Photoshop CS3

I do not see that option under after effects but that option is under photo shop

my issue is figuring out how to attack pictures to moving objects like the one example i had given above

yes you can. check if you have the option: file>export for web

 

[chrisix]

Okay, well that means you will be able to create the video in after effects, but you can't save it because its a trial version

 

[rockthepulse]

i figured it out... I save it as a raw file, open it in photoshop and save it for the web but i still haven't figured out how to attach photos to moving objects

There are many ways to do this and each of the members here may have their own particular style.

So, here's what we do. Select a video sample you want to play with and image for adding in.

And whoever here takes up on it gets to walk you through the paces via their own style in doing it.
