    Very interesting and creative, thanks! I have Photshop 2021 with all updated Software When I do this, I run into some bumps: When I choose the pentool to pen / select the flame, PS seems to not let me select the flame next step (shortly) later in order to move it via the " box" selection to move it with the arrows. Plus, when I hit "Command J" on mac, it also adds a duplicate layer instead of a new layer with just the flame ------- All these problems do not happen when I use the quick selection tool instead of the pen tool. Maybe something in the pentool settings I need to check - - ? BTW, when I use the Timeline, the original full candle image is added, not just the added layers --- On yours the timeline seems to just show the new added layers automatically, and does not include the orig candle background image. In the Timeline - - - It won't copy and paste the keyframe settings. I am following your instructions on my mac. When it does copy and paste, it is not aligned timewise (vertically). Can't seem to figure these out so far. Seems I also hit shift on Mac to select all the keyframes I am new to PS, so Any thoughts would help ? Maybe (only part) of the mistakes are sometimes pc vs mac keys - ? But not all Thanks in advance for any help,

    Sorry for having those issues. They could be Photoshop issues, or it could be that you are missing some crucial steps. I recommend watching the video again, because by missing simple steps could lead you to unwanted results. Unfortunately I can only imagine what is happening on your screen, otherwise it's hard for me to offer a solution from distance. I have another animation tutorial on the channel, maybe you should try with that one, it's easier: kzread.info/dash/bejne/m6R8zrxmdd2rnqw.html
