Home | Tutorials | GIF Animations
In order to avoid duplicates:
Hold down the control key and highlight all frames. Right click any frame. Click frame properties, and choose removal method, smart. To adjust timing, choose delay 10 for all frames. Click frame 1 to highlight only that frame. Right click frame 1, choose frame properties, delay 20.
Go to file, save as GIF. And now you have a flying butterfly!
To create an angel or fairy using your flying butterfly:
If you want to use these wings to create an angel or fairy, simply add a doll in front of your butterfly. Add a new frame to the beginning of your animation. This new frame will now be frame 1. Go to file, add image and find your doll wherever you have it saved on your computer. Click on your doll to highlight it. Make sure insert in the current frame is checked. Click open.
Your doll should now be added to the first frame of your butterfly animation. You may need to resize her, and you may need to adjust canvas size as well.
Sometimes when adjusting the size, an image becomes distorted. If this is the case, then you may need to find a different doll of a more suitable size.
Once you have your doll in your first frame and are sure she is the proper size, you need to add her into all the frames of your butterfly. Go to each frame that has a butterfly in it, and center the butterfly in the frame. Then go to the frame with your doll. Copy and paste her into the first butterfly frame. Click on the pick tool.
Click and drag the doll to the proper position in front of your wings. You may need to resize the canvas again at this point. It’s okay if the canvas is too big, because we can crop it later. If your butterfly overlaps your doll, highlight the doll. Go to Order and click the third arrow, as shown. This will bring her to the front.
