Using
Text Warp to create animation
Here's
another simple animation technique using the new Text Warp
tool. Set
your type and duplicate the layer.
Create
your effect in increments, each on a separate layer. Here,
I used the Wave style on the Horizontal setting. I made one
with a Bend of +12, the next at +27 and a third one (pictured
here) at +58. Animate by turning on and off the layers. Click

Add
an Effects Tween
Just as you can do a position or
opacity tween, you can also do an effects tween. If you have
already created animation frames, you will need to delete
them, as it is with Rollover states, ImageReady will remember
everything just as it was when you created the frames. With
the first frame, add a layer effect, such as Gradient Overlay
I used here. Remember, in ImageReady, you set your layer effects
in the Layer Options palette.
On
the second frame, I copy
the effects from the first layer to the second,
turn on the second layer and turn off the first.
In the Layer Options palette (which will be labelled Gradient
Overlay here) change your settings. I simply clicked on the
reverse setting. I alternated the gradient overlay settings
across the other layers. Click here
to view the animation.
