Clockwork Princess tut...(Animated)

Ok so a word of forewarning on this tut...I played with this for awhile to try and get it the way I wanted it. There may be ways to eliminate steps in the process but I would recommend this tut only for very experienced PSP'ers. I am gonna explain what I did the best I can for you but I may miss a few steps and such along the way!

Now I am gonna move on to the animation and this is where everything it gonna get tricky as I used a trial of process and error to get the look I wanted. Now you can eliminate the paper overlay we created earlier and save yourself some trouble but I liked the way it looked and wanted to have it in the final product.

In Animation Shop make sure propagate paste is checked.

In PSP Open Gear 2.

Adjust, Hue/Saturation both set to 0.

Resize by 30%. All Layers checked.

Copy into animation shop.

Go to Effects, Insert Image Effect and apply these settings. (Ignore the watch it is the gear I just didnt print screen during the process.)

Close all the layers in psp except the gradient.

Image, Copy merged.

Paste into PSP as a new image.

Duplicate the tag layer so you have 19 frames.

Select frame one then go to edit, Select all.

On your rotating gear click frame 1 then go to edit, Select all.

Drag your gear over the tag and position so that the entire gear is inside the gradient circle.

If you want to add more gears like I did just hit the back button on the gear and drag to your image again. You can also hit the reverse frames button on the gear to make it rotate the opposite direction. Just remember to always have all your frame checked and drag from frame 1 to frame 1.

This is the part where things got a little tricky cause I wanted that green overlay. Again you can totally skip this part and your tag will look fine just the gears will stand out a bit more.

Make sure all your tag frames are select and copy image.

Paste into PSP as a new image. Each frame should show up as a new layer.

On your original template in psp open & select the overlay layer and copy (Do NOT copy merged.)

Paste onto your new image with the rotating gears.

Position over the gradient layer and gears.

You will need to duplicate the overlay so you have an even number with the gradients.

Take the top overlay layer and merge it down to the top frame layer.

Close this layer so the following ones are easier to work on.

Repeat for every frame layer.

Reopen all the layers and save as a .psd.

Open the PSD in animation shop.

Selections, Select all.

Change the animation frame properties to 20.

Back in PSP close all layers but the frame layer.

C/P into animation shop as a new image.

Drag the frame to frame 1 of the animation and position to cover the edges of the gears and gradient.

Back in psp close all your layers.

Open the layers from your Center Circle back layers (This is the textured Tow the Line Layer) down to the background layer.

Copy Merged and paste into animation shop as a new animation.

Duplicate frames for a total of 19.

Select frame 1 and then hit select all.

Drag frame 1 of the gradient & Gears to frame 1 of the background.

Back in PSP close all your layers.

Open all layers from the Jars up.

Copy Merged and paste into animation shop as a new frame.

Drag to frame 1 of your animation.
