For this tutorial, you’ll need a working knowledge of PSP.

I’m using PSP 9 but any version should work. 

This tutorial is my OWN and any resemblance to any other is purely coincidental.

I wrote this tutorial on January 3, 2012

You need:

Elements of choice

Mask of choice

Movie/show clip of choice

Animation shop

BE SURE TO PROPERLY CREDIT THE MAKER OF YOUR IMAGES!

This is pretty simple. I hope I’m easy to understand!

In PSP:

Open a new canvas 800*600

flood fill white 

In AS:

Open your GIF

If it is really large you might want to resize it a bit

Copy the first frame

Back to PSP

Paste your frame as new image



flood fill w/ any color--this is going to represent our animation placement in our tag



Make your tag like you normally would

Placing your colored “spacer” where your animation will be



Add the rest of your text or whatever you’re going to add.

You’re going to want to end up w/ 2 different layers in your PSP

So everything ABOVE where your animation will be--Merge it all together.

Close off that merged layer-Mine was my TEXT

Then merge visible-The rest of my tag

Copy your first layer

Got to AS

Paste as new animation

Back to PSP

Copy second layer

Paste as new animation in AS

Look at how many frames your GIF is

Duplicate BOTH of the frames you just posted in your AS the same amount of times as your GIF

My GIF had 34 frames.

I duplicated my text layer to where it was 34 frames.

I did the same w/ my merged tag

Select ALL frames of your GIF

Copy

Select the part of your tag that has your “space”

Select ALL frames

Right click in your first frame

Paste INTO selected frame

Place your animation where your “spacer” is

Then go to your other tag layer

Select all

Copy

Back to your tag where you just pasted your animation

Select all

Right click first frame again

Paste INTO selected frame

Position

Click

View animation & if you’re happy-

SAVE!!

I hope this was easy to understand!!

Thanks for trying it out!
