Hi Collin ! Thanks for the really helpful tutorial. I have managed to get a 15 second clip of rain up and running. Any longer than that and the computer lags a lot. My issue is that the start and end frame of the rain is blank without any rain. So if I loop the rain clip every 15 seconds the rain stops which is abit odd. Anyway to get around this ? Cheers !

Hi there. I am made the rain effect but would like to layer it over a pre exisiting gif. However it won’t let me do so. How am I able to do this?
Many thanks

I am one of the 90+% of people who use a PC. Not just because those are my initials, but because I can run more programs, run them the way I want to do, (instead of the way Apple tells me too) and can do it for less than half the cost. In my eyes, Apple has no advantage over the powerful Microsoft platform in Photoshop, Illustrator or any other graphics programs. It all comes down to user preferences and Apple is for all the rebels who want to be different. Go ahead, let Apple tell you what to do and how to do it. I will be just as productive, just as detailed and just as good as any 3000 dollar Apple computer on my 500 dollar PC. Apple being, “better” at anything is a myth.

Well, this tutorial inspired me so much I went over to your other ones and picked out the snow animation one. Spent an hour making an animated snow Christmas card out of one of my paintings to post on Facebook. Looks great. Thank you so much for sharing your hard earned knowledge, it is greatly appreciated. Just wish I could have worked out how to make the Christmas bauble swing as well.

Just a note: In step 2 it says to hold “shit”. I don’t know if I’m comfortable doing that…lol
Just thought you should know of the typo.
