Getting ready for animation:

Just to make it LOADS easier on you we're going to merge layers to reduce what shows in your layers pallet.

Merge Visible Ani 1 and Ani 2 paper layers.

Rename this layer "FRAME BACKGROUND"

In your layers Pallet close out FRAME BACKGROUND layer and every single layer below it.

Once you're done that highlight any layer above all the closed out layers.

Merge Visible.

All the layers above should now be merged.

Name this merged layer "TOP LAYERS"

Open up all layers.

Close out TOP LAYERS and FRAME BACKGROUND layers.

Highlight any open layer.

Merge Visible.

Name this merged layer "BOTTOM LAYERS".

Open up all the layers.

Your layers Pallet should now have 3 layers in the following order from to to bottom:

TOP LAYERS

FRAME BACKGROUND

BOTTOM LAYERS

Copy and paste Car (from elepa2 folder) as a new layer.

Resize 15%

Move this car into position behind the top frame of your tag leaving just the nose to poke out from behind the frame:

Highlight the Frame Background layer.

Click anywhere outside of it with your Magic Wand.

Highlight the car layer.

Tap the delete key.

Deselect.

Copy Merge.

~Time to Animate~

I bet you thought you'd NEVER get to this point!

But you did....yay!

Open up Animation Shop.

Edit/Paste/As New Animation.

Back in PSP.

Click the Undo button twice - it makes the entire car show up again.

Press the Right arrow key on your keyboard to make the car move forward some

***TIP - If the car won't budge then click your mouse on the car and then press the arrow key on your keyboard.

Once your moved the car forward a little then tap the delete key.

Deselect.

Copy Merge

Carry into AS.

Edit/Paste/After Current Frame.

Back in PSP.

Keep repeating the above 2 steps until the car can no longer be seen...it's "drives" off behind the circle.

Copy Merge (you should not see any car at all on this image) and carry into AS.

Edit/Paste/After Current Frame.

View your animation this far by clicking on the "View Animation" icon:

If you're happy with it so far then highlight the last frame (this frame should not have a car image on it) and copy.

Highlight the first frame.

Edit/Paste/Before Current Frame.

Back in PSP.

Now you want the car to come in from the opposite direction in the frames on the bottom part of your tag.

To do that simply duplicate and mirror the car element and follow the same directions as above.

In AS - Once you have all frames copied and pasted, have the car driving behind your tube and "disappearing" it's time to change the Frame Properties -

Ctl + A to highlight all frames.

Animation/Frame Properties

Display Time: 13

OK

Use the slider bar at the bottom to slowly scroll through all your frames and look for the frame that should be in the middle somewhere - the frame that has no car showing at all - highlight that frame.

Hold down the Ctrl key and highlight the first frame.

The first frame and the frame in the middle (both are identical looking frames) should now be highlighted.

Animation/Frame Properties

Display time: 150

Animation/Resize Animation:

Pixel Size checked

Width: 500

OK

Go ahead and watch your animation.

If you're happy with it then save.

I’d love to see your results.
