We'll create a happy jumping cupcake that never gets tired. We'll add some vibrancy to typography. We'll create a smooth cat animation using video timeline, vector shapes, and smart objects. And we'll create a realistic animation by tracing on top of a video.
This course will teach you basic animation principles and how to apply them using simple Photoshop tools.
The course is separated in independent sections. You can start the section that most interests you without worrying about having to take the other ones to understand the context. Each section has its own downloadable materials that you can use.
Take this course if you're curious about animation and want to have some fun creating silly GIF doodles. This is not a professional animation course! It's just to learn a cool skill.

Thanks to Pablo, the course is helpful and fun! Recommended. It is Great even if you're totally new to Photoshop, however you might need an extra Googling on some things.

This is a great course on animating in Photoshop. Pablo Stanley is very knowledgeable and provides a lot of tips and tricks that I previously didn't know. I would highly recommend this course if you are wanting to create simple animations, animated typography, converting video or sketches to animation, or to just learn something new in Photoshop.

Awesome Animation course! I love the animations that the instructor taught me, the techniques shown in the course are easy to understand, however, I believe 'Practices make perfect!' Thanks to the instructor's patient and really find it is very interesting in animating!
