ANIMATION SHOP
This tutorial will explain how to add letters to blinkie templates.
In addition to Animation Shop, Paint Shop Pro is also needed.
I will be using the following template throughout this tutorial.
Right click and save it onto your computer in order to follow along.
1. Open Animation Shop.
2. Go to FILE > OPEN and open the template from wherever you saved it on your computer.
3. Click on the first frame and press CTRL + C (Or right click & COPY).
4. Open Paint Shop Pro.
5. Press CTRL + V and the blinkie will now be pasted.
6. Go to LAYERS > NEW RASTER LAYER > OK.
7. Click on the TEXT tool.
Write out whatever you'd like the blinkie to say and position it on the blocks. (Tip: Zoom In)
You may have to type and position each letter individually.
In my example I have used Redensek in Size 10.
8. Right click and COPY once you have positioned all the letters.
*Make sure you click on "COPY" and NOT "Copy Merged"
9. Go back to Animation Shop and CTRL + V.
You will now notice your text is pasted.
10. Right click and COPY the pasted text.
11. Go to EDIT from the top Menu and PROPAGATE PASTE
12. Click back on the blinkie template that you had opened in STEP 2.
13. Press CTRL + A to highlight it.
14. Right click and go to PASTE > INTO SELECTED FRAME
15. Position the text into the blocks.
Click anywhere on the box when you have it positioned where you want.
16. The text should now appear in every box. Simply SAVE.
