Glowing Animation

Create this simple animation in less then 5 minutes! If you wanna add new effects or a different glow, go ahead!

Create an animation just like the admin-sigs in v6 of the forums…

• Step 1 Create a document with a desired background and create a new layer with a random object or text on it;

  

• Step 2 Duplicate the layer 2 times, then go to Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur and blur the first copy a little;

  

  

• Step 3 Then blur the second copy some more;

  Note:THIS REALLY DEPENDS ON THE IMAGE OR THE TEXT, SO I CAN’T REALLY GIVE YOU NUMBERS.

  

• Step 4 Hop on over to Image-Ready by clicking this button;
  When in IR, hide the 2 copies and just show the original layer;

  

• Step 5 On the animation-palette, press the NewLayer-button;

  

• Step 6 Then let one of the copies be shown above the original and press the tween-button and set it to 7;

  

• Step 7 Do the same thing with the other layer;
  reate a new layer and show the last layer, tween in by 7 and after that create a layer with just the original on it and tween it with 7 again;
  When you paid attention to what I said and ignored all the stuff in IR you didn’t needed, the result should look like this:
