MOUNTAIN PARADISE

 

 

Step 1

At Animation Shop, go to File/Open and locate the psp or psd file.

Step 2

With the mouse, right click on this file and go to Duplicate Selected. Once you do, you should see F:2 which means 2 frames.   Repeat the duplicated selected again and you will now see F:3 which means 3 frames.  Repeat the duplicated selected again, and you will now have 5 frames. Repeat the duplicated selected one last time, and you will now have 9 frames.

Step 3

Go to View/Normal Viewing. 

Left click the control and A keys to activate all the frames.

Step 4

Open up the 136 (deer) animation.  Holding down the control key, left click the A key to activate all the frames.

Step 5

Go to Edit/Copy.  Make the tag image active and go to the very first frame and go to Edit/Paste into selected frame.  Holding down the left mouse button, place the animated deer on the mountain at the left hand side of the tag (see tag above). Once you have the animation placed, release the left mouse button.

Step 6

Open up the antelopes-02 file.  Holding down the control key, left click the A key to activate all the frames.  

Step 7

Go to Edit/Copy. Make the tag image active and go to the very first frame and go to Edit/Paste into selected frame.  Holding down the left mouse button, place the animated antelope on the second mountain that is directly next to the first mountain that the deer was placed (see tag above). Once you have the animation in place, release the left mouse button.

Step 8

Go to Animation/Resize Animation using the percent option at 90%, smart size and maintain aspect ratio checked.

Step 9

Before we continue to save the animation, let's first click the Customize button to make sure you have all the correct settings for this animation. 

Click the Customize button and you will see two tabs:  Colors and Optimizations.

Here is what each setting should be under the two tabs.
