Dual Color Text Fade Animation Tutorial

[Vanessa]

This one is aimed at all the intermediates, so there wont be any screenshots because it's really quite simple.

1) Start in Photoshop, make a new document, any background, any size.

2) Pull out the text tool and type whatever text you want.

3) Create a new layer, and, using the same font and size, type in exactly the same thing as before. Just make sure that you change the colour to something different, something complementary to the first colour.

4) Position the second text layer exactly over, or as close as you can get, to the first layer.

5) Switch to Image Ready.

6) Make sure the Animations and Layers pallettes are open.

7) Duplicate the first frame and, on the layers pallette, click the eye next to the top layer of text so that it disappears.

8) Click Tween Frame and add about 20.

9) Duplicate the last frame and click on the eye next to the top layer of text in the Pallette so that it reappears again.

10) Click Tween Frame and add another 20.

This is helpful, But tutorials are way more clear when you use pictures to illustrate your thoughts, And it would be nice if you added an end result next time =) Thanks for the submission!!
