Flashing Text

As i have stated before, when pasting a bimbo to your banner, right click > Edit > paste as > New layer. Usually we would merge it down. This time we're not as its important you don't! Leave it as a clipboard


Now, using the text tool, write your text. If this is the only line of text you want, then merge it down to the clipboard image and go to step x


Add a second line of text. Once this is done, right click on the 2nd line of text in the red box (or whatever your second line of text is) and merge it down to the 1st line of text (or similar). Then you'll be left with the 1st line of text and clipboard. Again, right click and merge the text down to the clipboard image.


Now, Step 1: Right click on Clipboard and duplicate it. Right click on Background and duplicate that too
Step 2: Drag the BackGround copy to the 2nd line, between the two clipboard images


As you can see i have zoomed into the picture by 400%. I recommend you do this so you know where you are filling the color. On the right side. click on the eye on the bottom 2 clipboard and backgrounds. Select your color on the left. Using the paint bucket tool, fill in the font with your selected color


Now for the second color. On the right side, click on the eye on the top 2 clipboard and backgrounds. This will make them disappear. Click on where the eye was for the bottom 2, to make them appear again. Choose your second color on the left side, and again, fill the text with color


This is ridiculously important, so it has its own step. REMEMBER TO CLICK ON THE EYE IN THE TOP 2 AGAIN SO ALL LAYERS WILL BE SHOWN! Right click on the Clipboard copy and merge it down to the Background copy. Right click on the Clipboard and merge it down to the Background



Now, using the crop tool in the red box on the left. Drag it on the banner. As you can see, the place you don't put the box will turn dark. To fix this, drag the box up, down, left, right, so that all of the banner stays bright. Click the center to crop it. Do the same on the second layer


Now to save!! Save it as a GIF. Remember to SAVE AS ANIMATION. Click Export. A second box will pop up. Unclick GIF Comment and make sure Loop Forever is clicked. The red box with 388 in it, is how fast or slow the text will flash. Its up to you. Click save


Here's my result :D
