Loading bar tutorial - Part 2 - The animation

[Maffe811]

Ok, welcome back to part two of my loading bar animation!

Well, lets start!
You may open your bar image again!
And make sure you got one, and only one layer!!



This is eazy to animate!!!
Ok:
1. duplicate the layer!
2. hold ctrl + shift and press O.
3. set the X value to what you whant, im setting it to 10... you could take more for a fast animation, and less for a slow...
4 press ok
5. REPEAT!!!



For those with a ryhtm inside:
write 10, and copy it!
then press:
Ctrl + Shift + D
Ctrl + Shift + O
Ctrl + V
Alt + F (or what ever it says)
Repeat

Do this 12 times (if you chose 10 as x value)
and then press filters>animation>playback and enjoy :-D



(If someone can make me a script, i would go WOOHOOO!!! )


finished image:

Very cool technique. I didn't even know about the offset effect.

Heres mine thanks for the awesome tut!



But i dont think it came out to smooth

[Maffe811]

well, then you have to decrease the movement at the x-axis and then speed up the animation more work, but smoother
