I need help (photoshop animation)

  • December 24, 2018

When animating in Photoshop with brushes, I use the timeline.'

When I try to "tween" while animating, I can't seem to rotate the object in tweening, I can only move it.

I can't rotate the animation around a singular point when I need to

If I go to "Transform" or "Free Transform", the object moves as I want it to.

But when I press start to watch the animation, the object doesn't move when I use key frames

This is a super specific question, and I don't think anyone can answer it.

      First turn it into a Smart Object.

      Then apply your key-framing and transformations/rotations.

        I also have this problem. If I duplicate a frame, I can move the object in frame, but can't transform: rotate. If I move it first, then I can rotate, BUT the rotation applies to the previous frame as well. IOW, I can't get rotate to work in PS frame animation.

        Anyone know if this is a bug that I should report, or user error?

          Could you be confusing Frames and Layers?

          Because if you rotate a Layer it is rotated and that’s that as far as Frame animation is concerned.

          Maybe you are looking for Timeline animation?

          Could you please post screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Layers, Timeline, Options Bar, …) visible to illustrate?

          Right, I can rotate layer content no problem, and make an animation with those frames.

          But tweening a rotation doesn't work, I found that mentioned elsewhere on this forum after my last post. Or if that's wrong, if you figured out how to tween a rotation, please let me know.
