Title: Template / Animation Help
Post by: Anonymous on March 22, 2005, 02:01:58 pm

Hey I finished my template for my sig, but I am having trouble understanding how to link the animated portion to my template.  Any help would be great.  Please contact me on my AIM at jamesatcleartel or post a message here.

in the template psd hide the background, widget, and disk layers (basicly the background and every layer that appears animated in the final sig)

make sure your text, angel, icon layers are all visible and aligned like you want

create a new layer at the top, and merge those layers on that new layer

open your animated psd in photoshop as well

drag your newly merged layer onto your animated psd

export the animated psd to imageready

in imageready highlight ALL the ANIMATION frames

now go to your layers panel and (with all animation frames highlighted) make your layer visible and the default layer invisible...

now click the PLAY button to make sure it works right then File > save optimized as > voiala!
