How to Create Animated GIFs in Google Web Designer

Introduction

In this tutorial, you will learn how to create animated GIFs in Google Web Designer. Animated GIFs are a great way to add movement and interest to your web pages. They can be used to create simple animations, such as rotating images or fading text, or more complex animations, such as character animations or video clips.

Creating a New Animated GIF

To create a new animated GIF, open Google Web Designer and click on the "Create New File" button. In the "New File" dialog box, select the "Animated GIF" template.

Adding Images to Your Animation

The first step in creating an animated GIF is to add images to your animation. You can add images by dragging and dropping them into the canvas or by using the "Import" menu.

Creating Keyframes

Once you have added images to your animation, you need to create keyframes. Keyframes are points in time where the animation changes. To create a keyframe, click on the "Add Keyframe" button in the timeline.

Tweening

Tweening is the process of automatically generating frames between keyframes. This allows you to create smooth animations without having to create every frame manually. To tween between keyframes, select the keyframes you want to tween and click on the "Tween" button.

Exporting Your Animation

Once you have finished creating your animation, you can export it as a GIF file. To do this, click on the "Export" menu and select "Animated GIF". In the "Export Animated GIF" dialog box, select the settings you want to use and click on the "Export" button.

Conclusion

Creating animated GIFs in Google Web Designer is a simple and straightforward process. By following the steps in this tutorial, you can create your own animated GIFs to add movement and interest to your web pages.
