It doesnt work for me, i click stop watch start the position at the beginning, then move the line, and choose transform, i move the image and the yellow dot does not appear on its own, so i press enter to lock the new position and press the yellow dot for the second position and press play, it just stays in the same position on both yellow dots. what am i doing wrong?

Hi Cristi, excellent work is it possible few small gif. you can put so we can do more practice...
I can't rotate selection in a frame. When I apply rotation, it applies on all frames but I want to apply rotation to the last frame and add tweening between 1st and last frame to animate rotation.
Ok new challenge, make animation look good at 400x150 @ 70kb. My pain.. as someone who designs signatures for people.. This video was fun to watch!
how do you know exactly what shade of colour you want to add and manipulate?
Pls do more vedio for us🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

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
