This is step by step guide of the animation i will be using on steemit
Hi steemians
Today i was working on a project to create a small animation (10s) for my future posts on steemit, i called it "The steemit big bang" in relation to colors explosion and also the beginning of a new experience on steemit.
For this animation i used :
- Affter effect cs6.
- Trapcode particular (for particle effects).
- Photoshop cs6 (for creating GIF animation).
I started with after effect for the animation, i created a background with a radial gradient.
With particular I created particles using a sphere, and after some adjustments i got this result ( feel free to try different settings with Particular, the more you try the more u got cool effects ).
I copied and pasted the last effect and i used mirror to flip it.
After that, i created a circle that i will use as a path for particles and with some adjustments i got this result.
Next step i added the typographie, i used "Dolce Vita Heavy". with some glowing effects.
I created a lens flare animation from right to left with optical flares and adjusted the brightness.
And for finish, i added a camera that adjusted for the depth of field effect inside the cercle.
The final result ( at 00:00:05:22) :
Once finished in After Effects, i rendered it out to a video file , for use this video in photoshop.
- How to creat a GIF :
To create a GIF image, first you have to import the video to photoshop.
Downscale the video in Photoshop. just go to ‘Image > Image Size.
Use the legacy Save for Web option, and save it as GIF.
