When it reaches the keyframes and the jet accelerates, the flame will turn on. Now the flame will be hidden at the beginning of the animation Turn the opacity to 0 on the exhaust layer In the exhaust layer, turn on the stopwatch for opacity Now, we want the flame to only appear when the jet speeds up, as the afterburner kicks in. (It’s explained on the video why it does this) If you playback now, the jet will move slowly, when it hits the second keyframe it will speed up. They will both move together because they are both selected. Hold down shift and click the second keyframe to also select it.ĭrag the keyframe to the right. Move the playhead to the middle of the timeline (around 2.5 seconds).Ĭlick on the diamond between the 2 arrows to the left of the position stopwatch, this adds a keyframeĬlick the diamond to add a keyframe on the exhaust layer We want the jet to start off slowly and then speed up at the end. Changing the speed of animations in Photoshop Play it back and now the jet and the flame should be moving together, Move the playhead to the end of the timeline. We want to also animate the flame behind the jet.Ĭhoose the exhaust layer and click on the stopwatch for position. The jet should be moving at a constant speed.

Using keyframesĬlick on the stopwatch by Position to set the start point for the jet Photoshop will animate the changes over time, lets see… Step 4. b/ Move the playhead to a different point in time. Keyframes are how Photoshop does animations.
With both the Jet and exhaust layers selected, drag to the top of the screen and just off the screen as the starting point for the animation. You should watch it anyway to see the animation.ĭrag the layers to make them longer, we are dragging them out to the 5 second mark. If you need more preceise details on any of the steps, please watch the video. This challenge should be enough for you to learn a lot of the animation tools in Photoshop. We want to turn off the afterburner, then 1/2 way through, we will turn on the afterburner and the jet will speed up.
