通过一些练习和耐心，您可以学习如何在Photoshop中制作动画，并将您的作品变成GIF以在线分享。Photoshop的动画工具通常不为人所知，但它们非常值得学习。我们将带您完成学习如何在Photoshop中制作动画所需的每个步骤。
像大多数动画工具一样，您需要将每个帧创建为单独的图像，因此您需要留出一些时间手动创建每个帧，特别是如果您打算制作复杂的动画。
首先在 Photoshop 中制作动画帧(Start By Making Your Animation Frames In Photoshop)
首先，您需要为您计划使用的每个帧保存一个单独的图像。制作动画的复杂程度取决于您自己，但在本次测试中，我们将创建一个简单的动画徽标。
学习如何在Photoshop中制作动画的诀窍是每次做出小动作并保存一张新照片。每个动作都应该具有相同的重量。例如，如果您希望一行文本在屏幕上滑动，则每一帧都应使文本移动相同数量的像素，以使动画看起来流畅。
如果您不确定如何在动画中从 A 点到达 B，请先从结束帧开始，然后创建第一帧。最后，填充中间的帧。
保存每张图像时，请用数字命名它们，以免与它们的位置混淆。
如何在 Photoshop 中为一系列图像设置动画(How To Animate a Sequence Of Images In Photoshop)
获得逐帧图像后，就可以将它们变成动画了。请(Make)务必仔细按照以下步骤操作。
- 单击File，单击Scripts，然后单击Load Files Into Stack..
- 单击浏览...(Browse… )并为动画选择所有帧。
- 单击“确定(OK)”并等待图像加载到单独的图层中。
- 单击窗口(Window)，然后单击时间轴(Timeline)以打开动画窗口。
- 单击时间轴面板中的下拉箭头并选择(dropdown arrow)Create Frame Animation。
- 单击创建帧动画(Create Frame Animation)。
您现在将在时间轴中有一个图层。下一步是将每个图层变成一个新框架。请按照以下步骤操作。
- 单击顶部的选择，然后单击所有( Select )图层。(All Layers.)
- 单击时间线面板左侧的三个堆栈菜单图标。( three stack menu icon)
- 在出现的菜单中，单击为每个新帧创建新图层(Create New Layer for Each New Frame)。
- 单击三个堆栈菜单图标( three stack menu icon)，然后单击Make Frames From Layers。
您现在将所有图像加载到单独的框架中。下一个任务是选择每帧播放多长时间的时间。可能需要进行一些测试才能获得正确的速度，但您可以通过单击0 秒( 0 sec)文本旁边的每个帧下的箭头来选择每个单独帧的帧时间。(the arrow under each frame )
您可以尝试不同的时间，但最好从每帧选择相同的时间开始。如果动画包含不同的场景或动画阶段，您可能需要单独调整每个阶段/场景的时间。
您可以随时单击播放按钮查看动画。时间线窗口上还有许多其他控件，我们在下面从左到右进行了解释。
时间线切换(Timeline Switch)
在逐帧时间线和传统电影时间线之间切换时间线。
播放量(Playback Amount)
在停止之前更改(Change)动画是永远播放还是播放一定数量的循环。一旦保存为GIF ，这将影响最终结果。您可以在稍后导出动画之前再次更改此设置。
播放下拉菜单(Playback Dropdown)
您在时间线控件上看到的下拉箭头是访问播放量的另一种方法。
播放控制(Playback Controls)
使用四个可用的播放控件播放(Play)、暂停、停止和跳转动画到结尾或开头。
吐温(Tween)
使用Tween功能生成“中间”帧，使您的动画看起来更流畅。下面将更详细地解释Tween功能。(Tween)
重复帧(Duplicate Frame)
此按钮将复制任何当前选定的帧，并将其放置在原始帧之后的时间轴中。
删除框架(Delete Frame)
此选项将删除任何选定的框架。
如何导出 Photoshop 动画(How To Export Your Photoshop Animation)
对Photoshop(Photoshop)动画感到满意后，您可以按照以下步骤将其导出。
- 单击新建(New)。
- 单击导出(Export)，然后单击保存为 Web（旧版）...(Save for Web (Legacy)…)
- 如果您的动画具有详细的颜色，请在预设下拉菜单下选择GIF 128 Dithered 。
- 如果您的动画具有简单的块颜色，请选择GIF 128 No Dither。
- 确保(Make)在底部 的循环选项(Looping Options)中设置了首选选项。
- 最后，单击“保存...”(Save…)并选择在 PC 上保存GIF的位置。(GIF)
如何在 Photoshop 中使动画平滑(How To Make An Animation Smooth In Photoshop)
除非您有制作逐帧动画的经验，否则最终结果可能看起来有点颠簸。值得庆幸的是，您可以使用Tween功能自动填充动画中的空白，使动画看起来更平滑。
为此，请按住shift键，单击时间线窗口中的两个单独的帧，然后单击补间图标(Tween icon)。接下来，单击以选择补(Tween)间设置是使用位置、不透明度(position, opacity)还是效果(effects)。对于大多数基于运动的动画，您需要使用position。
确保选中所有图层(All Layers)，然后单击确定(OK)。对每个配对帧重复此过程。例如第 1 帧和第 2 帧，然后是第 3 帧和第 4 帧，以此类推。

How To Animate An Image In Photoshop
With some practice and patiеnce, you can learn how tо animate іn Photoshop and turn your work into a GIF to share online. Photoshop’s animation tools are often unknown but they’re well worth learning. We will be taking you through each step necessary to learn how to animate in Photoshop.
Like most animation tools, you’ll need to create each frame as separate images, so you’ll need to set aside some time to create each frame manually, especially if you plan to make a complicated animation.
Start By Making Your Animation Frames In Photoshop
To begin with, you’ll need to save a separate image for each of the frames you plan to use. It’s up to you how complex you want to make your animation, but for this test we’ll be creating a simple animated logo.
The trick for learning how to animate in Photoshop is to make small movements and save a new photo each time you make a movement. Each movement should have the same weight to it. For example, if you want a line of text to slide across the screen, each frame should make the text move the same number of pixels so the animation looks smooth.
If you’re not sure how you can get from point A to B in your animation, start with the end frame first, then create the first frame. Finally, fill in the frames in between.
As you save each image, name them numerically so that you don’t get confused with their position.
How To Animate a Sequence Of Images In Photoshop
Once you have your frame-by-frame images it’s time to turn them into an animation. Make sure to follow the steps below carefully.
- Click File, Click Scripts, then click Load Files Into Stack..
- Click Browse… and select all of your frames for your animation.
- Click OK and wait for the images to load into seperate layers.
- Click Window and then Timeline to open the animation window.
- Click the dropdown arrow in the timeline panel and select Create Frame Animation.
- Click Create Frame Animation.
You will now have a layer in your timeline. The next step is to turn each of your layers into a new frame. Follow the steps below.
- Click Select at the top and then click All Layers.
- Click the three stack menu icon on the left side of the timeline panel.
- In the menu that appears, click Create New Layer for Each New Frame.
- Click the three stack menu icon and now click Make Frames From Layers.
You will now have all of your images loaded into separate frames. The next task is to choose a time for how long each frame will play. It may take some testing to get the right speed, but you can choose the frame time for each individual frame by clicking the arrow under each frame next to the 0 sec text.
You can experiment with different times, but it’s best to start by choosing the same time with each frame. If an animation contains different scenes or phases of animation, you may want to adjust the timings for each of those phases/scenes individually.
At any time you can click the play button to view the animation. There are a number of other controls on the timeline window too, which we have explained from left to right below.
Timeline Switch
Switch the timeline between a frame-by-frame timeline and a traditional movie timeline.
Playback Amount
Change whether the animation plays forever or for a certain number of loops before stopping. This will impact the end result once it is saved as a GIF. You can change this setting again before you export the animation later.
Playback Dropdown
The dropdown arrow you see on the timeline controls is another method for accessing the playback amount.
Playback Controls
Play, pause, stop, and jump the animation to the end or the beginning with the four available playback controls.
Tween
Use the Tween feature to generate “in-between” frames to make your animation look smoother. The Tween feature will be explained in more detail below.
Duplicate Frame
This button will duplicate any currently selected frame and will place it in the timeline after the original.
Delete Frame
This option will delete any selected frame.
How To Export Your Photoshop Animation
Once you’re happy with your Photoshop animation, you can export it by following the steps below.
- Click New.
- Click Export and then click Save for Web (Legacy)…
- If you have an animation with detailed colors, select GIF 128 Dithered under the preset dropdown.
- If you have an animation with simple block colors, choose GIF 128 No Dither.
- Make sure you have your preferred option set in the Looping Options at the bottom.
- Finally, click Save… and choose a place to save your GIF on your PC.
How To Make An Animation Smooth In Photoshop
Unless you’re experienced at making frame by frame animation, the end result may look a little jolty. Thankfully you can use the Tween feature to fill in the gaps automatically in your animation to make things look smoother.
To do this, hold the shift key, click two individual frames in the timeline window, and click the Tween icon. Next, click to choose whether the Tween setting will use position, opacity, or effects. For most movement-based animations, you’ll want to use position.
Make sure All Layers are selected and then click OK. Repeat this process for each paired frame. For example frame 1 and 2, then frame 3 and 4, and so on.
