Add content to your animation.
If your animation includes several objects that are animated independently, or if you want to change the color of an object or completely change
the content in a frame, create the objects on separate layers.
Add a frame to the Animation panel (Photoshop Extended CS5) or Timeline panel (CS6).
See Add frames to an animation .
Select a frame.
See Select animation frames .
Edit the layers for the selected frame.
Do any of the following:
Turn visibility on and off for different layers.
Change the position of objects or layers to make layer content move.
Change layer opacity to make content fade in or out.
Change the blending mode of layers.
Add a style to layers.
Photoshop provides tools for keeping characteristics of a layer the same across frames. See Unifying layer properties in animation frames .
Add more frames and edit layers as needed.
The number of frames you can create is limited only by the amount of system memory available to Photoshop.
You can generate new frames with intermediate changes between two existing frames in the panel using the Tween command. This is a quick way
to make an object move across the screen or to fade in or out. See
Create frames using tweening .
Set frame delay and looping options.
You can assign a delay time to each frame and specify looping so that the animation runs once, a certain number of times, or continuously. See
Specify a delay time in frame animations and Specify looping in frame animations .
Preview the animation.
Use the controls in the Animation panel (Photoshop Extended CS5) or Timeline panel (CS6) to play the animation as you create it. Then use the
Save For Web & Devices command to preview the animation in your web browser. See Preview optimized images in a web browser.
Optimize the animation for efficient download.
