Post pobrano z: How to Create an Animated Text Effect Photoshop Action

In this tutorial, we will create a VHS-style 3D Photoshop effect for text layers using smart filters, gradient fills, and video overlays.

You can find plenty of Photoshop text actions on GraphicRiver, and if you want to create this 3D text effect in just a few simple clicks, then check my Animated VHS Text Effect Action created the same way.

Tutorial Assets

• Bebas Neue Font or any other similar font you want to use for this effect
• VHS Video Overlay

1. How to Prepare the Document

Step 1

Press Control-N to create a new document and use the following settings: 

• 1920 x 1080 px
• 300 dpi

Step 2

Create a new layer using Shift-Control-N and name it „placeholder”.

Step 3

Right-Click on the layer and select Convert to Smart Object.

Step 4

After that, Right-Click > Edit Contents on the „placeholder” layer.

Step 5

Click T to open the Horizontal Type Tool and create any text using the Bebas Neue font with a size of 84 pt. After that, close and save the placeholder.

Step 6

Right-Click on the smart object, select Duplicate, and create two duplicates of the layer.

Step 7

Rename the layer to „text” and „glow” and make the first smart object Invisible.

Step 8

Select the background layer and Fill it with #141414 color using Shift-F5.

2. How to Create VHS Text Effects

Step 1

Now let’s start to create our text effects. Select the „Text” layer and then go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur and set the Radius to 2 px.

Step 2

After that, go to Filter > Blur > Motion Blur and use the following settings: 

• Angle: 90°
• Distance: 60 px

Step 3

Go to Filter > Distortion > Wave and use the following settings: 

• Number of Generators: 1
• Wavelength: 1 and 298
• Amplitude: 1 and 6
• Type: Sine

Step 4

Now we need to create layer style effects. Double Click on the Layer and then go to Gradient Overlay.

Step 5

Use the following settings for your gradient:  

• Blend Mode: Normal
• Opacity: 100%
• Angle: -180°

Set the following colors for your gradient: #fc3d4f ; #fd7335 ; #f57c21.

Step 6

After that, you need to add Gaussian Blur and Wave Effect with the same parameters to the „glow” layer.

Step 7

Double-Click on the layer and add an Outer Glow effect with the same gradient as we use before and the following settings: 

• Blend Mode: Screen
• Opacity: 100%
• Spread: 4%
• Size: 12 px

Step 8

Change the Fill setting of the layer to 0%.

Step 9

Select your smart objects while holding Shift, and then hit the Create a New Group icon and name it „Main Text”.

Step 10

Create two duplicates of the group and name them „Color Shift 01” and „Color Shift 02”.

Step 11

Double-Click on the „Color Shift 01” layer and Uncheck the Green and Blue color channels.

Step 12

Double-Click on the „Color Shift 02” layer and Uncheck the Red and Green color channels.

Step 13

Move the „Color Shift 01” group of layers 4 px to the left while holding Shift.

Step 14

Move the „Color Shift 02” group of layers 8 px to the right while holding Shift.

3. How to Create Overlaying Elements

Step 1

Now we need to create „TV Lines” overlay textures. Create a new layer using Shift-Control-N and Fill it with #282828 color.

Step 2

Go to Filter > Filter Gallery > Sketch and select Halftone Pattern. Use the following settings: 

• Size: 2
• Contrast: 50

Step 3

Create a duplicate of the layer and then move it 1080 px up while holding Shift.

Step 4

After that, you need to select both of the layers and move them 1080 px up again.

Step 5

Create another duplicate of the „layer 1” and then move it 1080 px down.

Step 6

Select all three layers and Right Click > Merge Layers. Name it „TV Lines”.

Step 7

Change the Blending Mode of the layer to Overlay and the Opacity to 25%.

Step 8

Go to File > Place and then select the MP4 file from the attachment of this tutorial. Resize and rotate it to the borders of the document.

Step 9

Change the Blending Mode of the layer to Screen.

Step 10

Select your overlay layers while holding Shift, and then hit the Create a New Group icon and name it „Video Overlays”.

Step 11

Now we need to create gradient overlays for our video. Go to Layer > New Fill Layer > Gradient and create two gradients. Name them „Light Leaks 01” and „Light Leaks 02”.

Step 12

Double-Click on the first gradient fill in the Layers panel and use the following settings: 

• Style: Linear
• Angle: -35°
• Scale: 232%

Step 13

After that, Left-Click on the Gradient in the same panel and create a new gradient with the following settings: 

• Color: #ff7511, Location: 0%; Opacity: 100%
• Location: 35%; Opacity: 82%
• Location: 51%; Opacity: 0%
• Color: #e90f43, Location: 61%;
• Location: 67%; Opacity: 82%
• Color: #f3005e, Location: 100%; Opacity: 100%

Step 14

Double-Click on the second gradient fill in the layer panel and use the following settings: 

• Style: Linear
• Angle: -171°
• Scale: 232%

Step 15

After that, Left-Click on the Gradient in the same panel and create a new gradient with the following settings: 

• Color: #315934, Location: 0%; Opacity: 100%
• Color: #ac9102, Location: 100%; Opacity: 100%

Step 16

Change the Blending Modes of both gradients to Color Dodge.

Step 17

Select your overlay layers while holding Shift, and then hit the Create a New Group icon and name it „Light Leaks”.

4. How to Create the Animation of the Layers

Step 1

Now we are ready to start creating our animation. Go to Window > Timeline and click on the Create Video Timeline icon.

Step 2

Reduce the duration of the timeline to 05:00 by moving the icon shown below.

Step 3

Now you need to create the first keyframe. Select the „Text” layer and click on the Timer icon near Transform to create the first Keyframe.

Step 4

Move the Time Indicator to 0:00:00:10 and then move the layer 15 px up while holding Shift.

Step 5

Move the Time Indicator to 0:00:00:20 and then move the layer 15 px down while holding Shift.

Step 6

Select the keyframes we just created while holding Shift and then Right-Click > Copy.

Step 7

Move the Time Indicator to 0:00:01:00 and then hit the Keyframe icon.

Step 8

After that, Right-Click > Paste on the last keyframe to duplicate the keyframes we created before.

Step 9

Create duplicates of the keyframes until you fill the whole timeline.

Step 10

Select all the keyframes of the „text” layer and paste them for the „glow” layer.

Step 11

Select the „TV Lines” layer and click on the Timer icon near Position to create the first Keyframe.

Step 12

Move the Time Indicator to 0:00:05:00 and move the layer 2160 px down while holding Shift.

Step 13

Select the „Light Leaks 01” layer in the timeline panel and reduce the size of the clip to Start: 02:00 and Duration: 02:00.

Step 14

Select the „Light Leaks 02” layer in the timeline panel and reduce the size of the clip to Start: 03:00 and Duration: 02:00.

Step 15

Click on the Transitions icon and select Fade.

Step 16

Drag and drop the Fade transition to the start and the end of the „light leak 01”.

Step 17

Right-Click and change the duration of both Fade transitions to 0.97 s.

Step 18

After that, you need to apply the same transition with the same duration to the second „light leaks” layer.

Step 19

Create a new layer using Shift-Control-N, and then fill it with black color and name it „Fade In/Out”.

Step 20

Change the Fill of the layer to 0%.

Step 21

And finally, Drag and drop the Fade With Black transition to the start and the end of the „Fade In/Out” layer.

5. How to Render the Animation as a Video

Step 1

Our animation is now ready for rendering. Click on the icon in the upper right corner and select Render Video.  

Step 2

Set the following settings in the Render Video panel: 

• Format: H.264
• Size: Document Size
• Range: All Frames

Awesome Work, You’re Now Done!

Your video is ready! In this manner, we can create an animated VHS text effect in Adobe Photoshop using the smart objects, gradient fills, filters and video overlays.

Post pobrano z: How to Make, Use, and Manipulate a Calligraphic Brush in Adobe Illustrator

The Calligraphic brush in Adobe Illustrator mimics the look and feel of a calligraphy pen nib. Let’s take its options for a spin to get everything you can from this brush type.

1. How to Make a Calligraphic Brush

Step 1

To start, create a New Document, select the Paintbrush Tool (B) and open the Brushes panel in Illustrator. Select options and hit New Brush to do just that: create a new brush.

Step 2

Select Calligraphic Brush (chances are it’s already selected) and hit OK.

Step 3

Let’s start with a very simple default-style brush. Name it whatever you want. Set the Angle to 0°, Roundness to 100%, and the Size to whatever you feel like using (in this case 5 pt). Keep the drop-down boxes of each option at Fixed for now. Hit OK and check out your very simple round brush with the Paintbrush Tool (B).

Step 4

Hit Enter with the Paintbrush Tool (B) selected and you can check out the options of the tool that have some effect on the brush you’ve created as well. In this case, I’ve kept the Fidelity to Smooth so my paths are as fluid and clean as possible.

2. How to Use the Round Brush Options

Step 1

Now that we’ve done the super simple task of making a new brush, let’s play with the options within it. In the event that you’d like for every path drawn to change in size, select Random from the drop-down menu next to Size and move the Variation up to 12 pt. Each line will be a different size from 1 pt to 12 pt.

Step 2

Much of the options are only useful if you’re using a pressure-sensitive graphics tablet. If you switch from Random to Tilt, you’ll find that the angle at which you hold your tablet’s stylus effects the size of the brush’s line. This variation, unlike Random, changes throughout a single path, rather than each new one.

Step 3

If you change the drop-down menu to Pressure, the size will vary according to how much pressure you apply to your stylus’s nib when drawing. Again, the variation exists within a single path rather than with each new path. Using the pressure option for your Calligraphic Brush is perfect for creating clean line art with thick and thin line work that remains scalable (unlike making it in Adobe Photoshop).

3. How to Create Flat Brushes

Step 1

To create a flat brush reduce the Roundness when creating or editing the brush you’re using. In the example below, I’ve set the Roundness to 20%. the initial doodle below keeps all options as Fixed.

The second example is with Pressure enabled for size variance. I find that although you can play with variations for the roundness too, a flat brush style is most useful when size of the nib is the only variable of the work. This does depend on what you’re creating, however, so take that opinion with a grain of salt.

Step 2

As means of an example, lower the opacity of your brush either in the Transparency panel or at the top of Illustrator’s window when you have the Paintbrush Tool selected. The flat brush is a wonderful tool for sketching and painting with vectors. And as you can see from the Outline view below, it’s done with a series of editable paths.

3. How to Create Angled Flat Brushes

Step 1

The last brush style we’ll go over is an Angled Flat Brush. You can change the angle to whatever you want your brush to be. In the case below, I’ve set it to 45°. I also changed the Roundness to 11%, am keeping both Angle and Roundness Fixed, and have Size set to 11 pt, Pressure, and with an 11 pt Variation. As you can see below, I find this Calligraphic Brush to be excellent for mimicking real-life calligraphy, perfect for hand-lettering, fancy party invitations, or all of your elegantly written needs.

Step 2

I find creating calligraphic lettering in vector form allows for easy manipulation to the letters and flourishes as well as being ready to print any time at any size without loss to the quality of the image. You’re also able to change the stroke size itself when you resize the letter without expanding the stroke (Object > Expand) by selecting a larger stroke weight in the Strokes panel.

Step 3

Finally, let’s take a look at selecting Pressure for all three options for the Angled Flat Brush. In the example below I have the Angle set to 45° and the Variation at 180°, the Roundness set at 11% and the Variation at 11%, and Size at 31 pt and the Variation all the way up to 31 pt. Below the options, the first line shows the angled brush clicked with a mouse versus pressing down in one place with a tablet’s stylus. The second and third line show all three options at work with two paths and various levels of pressure.

Conclusion

The Calligraphic Brush is the most basic and often quite useful of the five brush options within Adobe Illustrator. Playing with its options and creating a library of brushes not only allows for more customization within your work, but it also emphasizes the use of Illustrator as a drawing program versus being a tool for pure design.

Don’t forget that you can always expand your brush library by heading over to Envato Elements, where you’ll find a great selection of vector brushes such as these ones.

Post pobrano z: How to Make, Use, and Manipulate a Calligraphic Brush in Adobe Illustrator

The Calligraphic brush in Adobe Illustrator mimics the look and feel of a calligraphy pen nib. Let’s take its options for a spin to get everything you can from this brush type.

1. How to Make a Calligraphic Brush

Step 1

To start, create a New Document, select the Paintbrush Tool (B) and open the Brushes panel in Illustrator. Select options and hit New Brush to do just that: create a new brush.

Step 2

Select Calligraphic Brush (chances are it’s already selected) and hit OK.

Step 3

Let’s start with a very simple default-style brush. Name it whatever you want. Set the Angle to 0°, Roundness to 100%, and the Size to whatever you feel like using (in this case 5 pt). Keep the drop-down boxes of each option at Fixed for now. Hit OK and check out your very simple round brush with the Paintbrush Tool (B).

Step 4

Hit Enter with the Paintbrush Tool (B) selected and you can check out the options of the tool that have some effect on the brush you’ve created as well. In this case, I’ve kept the Fidelity to Smooth so my paths are as fluid and clean as possible.

2. How to Use the Round Brush Options

Step 1

Now that we’ve done the super simple task of making a new brush, let’s play with the options within it. In the event that you’d like for every path drawn to change in size, select Random from the drop-down menu next to Size and move the Variation up to 12 pt. Each line will be a different size from 1 pt to 12 pt.

Step 2

Much of the options are only useful if you’re using a pressure-sensitive graphics tablet. If you switch from Random to Tilt, you’ll find that the angle at which you hold your tablet’s stylus effects the size of the brush’s line. This variation, unlike Random, changes throughout a single path, rather than each new one.

Step 3

If you change the drop-down menu to Pressure, the size will vary according to how much pressure you apply to your stylus’s nib when drawing. Again, the variation exists within a single path rather than with each new path. Using the pressure option for your Calligraphic Brush is perfect for creating clean line art with thick and thin line work that remains scalable (unlike making it in Adobe Photoshop).

3. How to Create Flat Brushes

Step 1

To create a flat brush reduce the Roundness when creating or editing the brush you’re using. In the example below, I’ve set the Roundness to 20%. the initial doodle below keeps all options as Fixed.

The second example is with Pressure enabled for size variance. I find that although you can play with variations for the roundness too, a flat brush style is most useful when size of the nib is the only variable of the work. This does depend on what you’re creating, however, so take that opinion with a grain of salt.

Step 2

As means of an example, lower the opacity of your brush either in the Transparency panel or at the top of Illustrator’s window when you have the Paintbrush Tool selected. The flat brush is a wonderful tool for sketching and painting with vectors. And as you can see from the Outline view below, it’s done with a series of editable paths.

3. How to Create Angled Flat Brushes

Step 1

The last brush style we’ll go over is an Angled Flat Brush. You can change the angle to whatever you want your brush to be. In the case below, I’ve set it to 45°. I also changed the Roundness to 11%, am keeping both Angle and Roundness Fixed, and have Size set to 11 pt, Pressure, and with an 11 pt Variation. As you can see below, I find this Calligraphic Brush to be excellent for mimicking real-life calligraphy, perfect for hand-lettering, fancy party invitations, or all of your elegantly written needs.

Step 2

I find creating calligraphic lettering in vector form allows for easy manipulation to the letters and flourishes as well as being ready to print any time at any size without loss to the quality of the image. You’re also able to change the stroke size itself when you resize the letter without expanding the stroke (Object > Expand) by selecting a larger stroke weight in the Strokes panel.

Step 3

Finally, let’s take a look at selecting Pressure for all three options for the Angled Flat Brush. In the example below I have the Angle set to 45° and the Variation at 180°, the Roundness set at 11% and the Variation at 11%, and Size at 31 pt and the Variation all the way up to 31 pt. Below the options, the first line shows the angled brush clicked with a mouse versus pressing down in one place with a tablet’s stylus. The second and third line show all three options at work with two paths and various levels of pressure.

Conclusion

The Calligraphic Brush is the most basic and often quite useful of the five brush options within Adobe Illustrator. Playing with its options and creating a library of brushes not only allows for more customization within your work, but it also emphasizes the use of Illustrator as a drawing program versus being a tool for pure design.

Don’t forget that you can always expand your brush library by heading over to Envato Elements, where you’ll find a great selection of vector brushes such as these ones.
