Hello all,

I have some images of jewelery i need a moving sparkle effect on, for a website. Something like this on top of the page: Home | Tiffany & Co.

I tried to make a GIF in photoshop, but its very time consuming, and i wasnt really happy with the result.

Is there a easy way to do this?  Maybe in another program I have the full CC package, but have only worked in PS, ID and AI.

Hope you can help :0) best regards William

    Hi

    Try this:

    1. Draw the sparkle flares on empty layers

    2. Add a video timeline

    3. Add keyframes on the layer opacity of those flare layers

    4. Use save for web to save as a gif

    I hope that helps to get you started.

    If you are making animated gifs from the video timeline , make sure you don't set the framerate too high. The default is 30fps which is fine for video but I reduced it to 10fps to make the gif above.

    I think you can buy a video ready to be used

    Check this one, it can work:

    Video stock di キラキラスター パーティクル shiny stars particles in Adobe Stock | Adobe Stock

    Open your image in PS, import the video on a layer and choose as a bending mode one of the third group to hide the dark area and let only the shiny stars visible. Add a Black and White Adjustment layer to adjust the tones of the stars.

    Export in a video format.
