Erasing Name To Show Writing

I will be showing step by step using photo shop how to make the above animation. 

Create animation

1. Start by creating a new animation and set the measurements to 600 by 150. 

2. Create a new layer and use the text tool on the left side to write your name. 

3. Next create a new layer and choose the eraser tool. Start by slowly erasing the last letter,( you will be erasing it the opposite way you write it).

Repeat

4. Now copy that erased layer and click the eye on the one before. You will repeat this process until all the letters are gone. Make sure to erase s little at a time so it comes out smooth. 

5.I had about 100 layers at the end. Now shift click all of them and create frames from layers in the bottom left hand corner. 

6. Now your all done so press play and watch your name being written before your eyes.

I felt like a baby elephant fit me perfectly.

I learned so much about text, new faces and how to make a cool ending. I liked this animation a lot more than the bouncing ball. Im very excited to share more of my animations with you!
