Animate Photos in Photoshop - Tips, Tricks & Shortcuts

hi guys welcome to photoshop on me Michael Tierney today I'll be showing you how to convert your images into videos and then upload them to Instagram so give them that kind of parallax II feel to them so to go up here go file and open our controller find your image select it click open once you have your image open there click on your layers palette here on the right and we want to get rid of this say this lock here so just double click that click OK it's got rid of it we need to find out kind of how we'll want to separate this image to give it a parallax effect so with this image we probably want to bring this building on the left and the building on the right level forward so we've got two items in the foreground and the bridge in the background so war three layers so when I duplicate this three terms so this will be a background background this one will be the left building and this one will be the right building so again hide the background and hide one of these ones so we've got the left one selected so on a car this left building here so if we select the left layer and click mask and then you want to grab your brush over here right click and scale this up it's quite quite sizable first there we are and make sure hardness the song as well I'm 100 so you can just kind of delete the rest of the image get rid of the layer so we can see what's going on yeah as you get closer to the image you'll probably want to bring your brush size down down quite a bit ah and zoom in and check out the rest of the detail right we need to take out more detailed parts here on the left so what I recommend doing is getting a little layer so they click here to get new layer drag it to the bottom and click a color so just get kind of like a like a break oh I never liked red and then just fill this control and backspace or just use your film then you can kind of see where we need to cut out another great thing when you've got straight edges like this grab your paintbrush make a bit smaller good so I'll make sure the hardness is on again and click there and then if you hold shift and click at the bottom that drugs it is a straight straight line you're going to roughly cut out kind of the best you can but just do a rough job and then just do the same going around and get rid of the rest of that detail you there we are words in the left side of the building now if you had this layer and turn on the right side now the right building we're going to do click on that layer and add a mask to it and just do the same with this side so make the brush bigger and rub out the left building this side and you'll see the red coming through again from the background layer just so we can see what will come out you there we are now have both a so if 10 there left there you can see both the buildings and the background so separate out so we need to a bit a cloning work so if you had both of the top layers and now this is you see background layer we need to get your cloner tool here on the left the cells would be brush there is quite smooth pressing maybe in the middle and now one start rubbing kind of away some of the buildings or cloning them out as far as we can so if you hold alt on the keyboard click the sky near it near there just start clicking over a pulley on the opacity quite high actually OOP so if you do a softer brush should blend in quite a bit more with a building really roughly need to do this you once we've done this with the race ad we'll do the same with the left building you there we are we have all three layers so now if you tend top buildings on and off you can see that there's a bit of kind of leeway there to move different buildings and you can delete the red layer blur after right clear can go apply layer mask same with this one then we'll want to convert all of these to smart was it convert to smart object there yeah there's to all your layers and then we'll scale it from this point here so does get saved ctrl + s scale it to kind of what damage and you want your animation to be so for this video we'll we'll do an Instagram which is at 1 by 1 ratio so square so just crop it copper here you can still move here energies in a minute you also want to scare it so you want to go to image size I'll bring up this cell here you want to go to 1080 squared 72 dpi such a resolution 72 PPI so a pixel per inch then you click OK this should be the scalable way I can live now we need to start animating it so we'll click our time on windows and timeline control them 0 to fit your image to scale select all three layers and click create video timeline just bring all your layers into the timeline now we'll probably about three seconds standard set to 5 so bring all these down to of 3 seconds now if you pull these these arrows down you'll see transform so to click the keyframe on transform there and move ya slider here to 3 seconds right to the end we'll move this insert here grab this right click and free transform will scale it and move it as far out as we can without seeing if a building behind it and then click enter and then you'll see that's kind of scaling moving may also move this up a bit sisters on that land oh yeah you can just test it until you happy with our movement do the same with the left side pull back to 0 go transform click keyframe 3 seconds right click free transform scale is so let's move up and as far left is looking kind of get away with roundabout there click enter and alarm likely put the the second keyframe in there some of the buffs scaling up moving out a bit you can always move move the man with them favor in that will start just so it looks like the row up in up a bit more there we are with the background if you just pull this down click transform move to three seconds right click free transform just scale this up of that click Enza and there we are a parallax movement until the happy with it and select all three of them and just have a bit of a movement from kind of left array if we just go up here file X bar and you go render video this menu pop up will sleeve that thing is standard for now nearly orig select your folder where you want it to be here's 2 6 4 sounds good make sure it's all frames are your work area and click render there guys hope you enjoyed that tutorial don't forget to Like share and subscribe for more tips tricks and
