Actual Word Effect Using Scattering Text

1. Create text & rasterize
2. Pattern Maker > Use Image Size
3. Randomize 10+ times & save each pattern
4. Ok & Exit Pattern Maker
5. Display each pattern for each frame
6. Last saved pattern apply radio blur
7. Last frame will be original text

Scaling Layer Styles

• Right click style & choose scale > change % to liking

Photoshop Lack of Animating Scaling Workaround

1. Create text/graphic into a pattern
2. Apply style “Pattern Overlay” (where you can scale)
3. On each frame, change the scale
4. Can also use the scale at smaller % to create a pattern
5. Then apply filter like warp & animate from left to right

• Filter > Noise > Add Noise
• Gaussian Blur > 1 pixel
• Levels > Adjust sliders close to each other to create space
• Load Luminosity > to load only white sparkles
• Conver to Smart Objects
• Enter into smart objects and transform height, then animate top to bottom, save
• Apply Displacement Map (of cloud file) > 30 for Horizontal & Vertical
• Apply Outer Glow

Do not export animation as Flash – very buggy, will crash Photoshop

• Workaround: export as Quicktime, then use Flash Encoder to change into Flash file
