blinkie tutorial nobody asked for

(were all trapped at home in quarantine so what else is there to do lol)

i make my blinkies with an illegal copy of photoshop. it has a built in frame animation function thats pretty easy to learn! i literally have no idea where i got this copy ive had it since like 2015,, so if u dont have photoshop i cant help u sorry :(

step 1: make a new document thats 150px wide and 20px tall (or whatever size you want the blinkie to be! i just use these dimensions because its the standard size for blinkies.)

step 2: get the basic colors down, whatever you want the background and border to be. basically the stuff that doesnt change

step 3: this is where the animating part comes in. each frame is gonna be on a different layer. when you start animating it you can toggle each layer on/off for each frame, so keep stuff on as many layers as you can!

i start by making the little dots and dashes that go around the outside (this is easier to draw if you turn on the pixel grid: view -> show -> pixel grid. it gives you a nice little grid so doing small edits is easier!) i make one layer for each frame:

step 4: add your text! remember each layer is one frame. for this tutorial im just doing simple alternating colors, so i only need 2 layers, but if you do something more complicated youll probably need a Lot More… (for example, my msi bitches blinkie had 3 different lines of text, each letter highlighted, and then it alternated colors, for a total of 17 text layers. yikes!)

step 5: once you have all your frames, its time to start actually putting it together. to get the timeline window, go into window -> timeline. you should get a little bar at the bottom of photoshop that looks like this:

click “create frame animation” and bam! frame 1 exists! the only tools you really need to know how to use are these three:

the frame length is just how long each frame is. its on 0 by default, but you can make it whatever you want for each frame. i did 0.1 seconds for this blinkie.

the loop option should always be set to forever. this is what makes the blinkie actually .. Blink

and new frame adds a new frame. duh.

this blinkie only has two frames, so its pretty simple. frame 1 has the first layer of dashes and the white text, and frame 2 has the second layer of dashes and the red text.

and then you can hit the little play button to test it out! just fiddle around with ur layers and frame length settings until it looks how you want it :)

step 6: time to save it! this isnt as simple as just ctrl+s unfortunately. to save it as a gif, youre gonna go into save -> export -> save for web (legacy). this weird ass complicated window should pop up:
