5. Adding a graphic to an animation :

We are going to use the graphic below and going to add an animated text to it.

Open an image 300 x 300 transparent and pick a font of your choice and a text. I'm going to use my name here. We are going to make that text glitter and sparkly like we taught in previous tuts.

Apply an inner bevel : Effects - 3D effects - Inner bevel with these settings

Hit shift+D 2 times and add your noise. Save your images and open them in Animation Shop with the animation wizard. You should have 3 frames now.

Open your tea image (above) in Animation Shop. You see it only has one frame. Here's what you do, copy the frame and then click paste after current do this two times and you will have 3 frames !

Now click on "Edit" and click "select all", all your frames are selected now. Click copy then activate your text animation. There you select all frames again and click on "paste into current frame". You see your tea time image popping in there, move it around a bit till you think it's in the right place. Crop your animation, to get the excess canvas off. Then click to deselect. Click on "View animation" to see if you need to adjust the speed.

No we are not finished yet, we forgot the sparkles ! Yes I did that deliberately hehe to show you another trick :-)

We are going to export frame by frame to psp to add the sparkles. You'll love that feature once you used it. Activate the first frame and export it to PSP

Add your sparkles and close your image, psp will ask you to update the AS frame before closing click yes. Repeat this with each frame. Save your animation and here's the result :)
