Description My wonderful entry for the Video Tutorial Contest !

I covered most of what's explained here once before in , but I like to to think I've improved since then. For instance, back then I used Vista. *shudder*.

This lovely little guide is 9:30 in leagnth, just barely under the 10min mark. It explains the finite basisc of Animation with Photoshop CS3 Extended and above.

You are required to have the Extended version of Photoshop CS3 or above to use these techniques! I do not know how animating in ImageReady works, so please don't ask!

Also, DAMN YOU START BAR. DAMN YOU TO HELL.

English obviously isn't your primary language. The right way to say that is "There is a saying about history where if we learn from the past, it won't repeat it itself in the future, and I am finally convinced."

Useful tutorial video, but it needs more show to match the tell. There were several alternatives, options and functions listed but not demonstrated. I found these parts confusing when mixed in with the basic how to. A series of shorter more specific videos might be less confusing to some people.

Very quality tutorial! I am an animation derp and so far I've stayed away from photoshop because it looks cumbersum. But I think I'll give it a try.

Also nice voicing, some tutorials have horrible speakers XP
