Question

animation, tween does not work properly

I have a problem in using the Tween command in Photoshop.

Here is what I have done:

I took 8 pictures of the same object with small changes (movement). I then loaded them into a stack. Then I opened the timeline and made frames from the layers. Now I got a file with 8 frames (layers) and running it I got the correct animation. Then, in order to refine the movement, I used tween to add 5 frames in between the first and second existing frame. 5 new frames (layers) were created. However all of them were identical to the first frame instead of having small gradual changes.

Attached is the finel fike.

What is wrong? what can a I do?

    Tween would animate the position change of the layers visible in first fram to their changed position in ths second frame.  You did not have layer positioning change.

     

    Here I have two layer  I created two frames with these layer visible. In the first frrans I position the top layer content hight and to the left. In the Last Frams I positioned its content low and to the right.  I had tween genrtate the framst between the first and last frames.

    Thank you for your answer.

    My aim was to refine the aimation that I have produced out of 8 pictures. I transfered them into 8 layers in file and then into an animation frames.

    Do you mean to say that the tween tool is not suitable for my purpose?

    I described how tween works If you want to change character pose tween is not going be able to do that,  There may be an onion skinning feature in photoshop somewhere in frame or video animation,  Smart object layers can be transformed in video animation and in 3D layers you can rotate objects in 3d space.  In crafting a frame animation I would the tools like puppet warp would be  helpful for making layers for new frames.
