Designing Animated GIF photographs in Affinity Designer

Affinity Designer Video Tutorial

Animated GIF photographs are straightforward and widespread so as to add animation to your designs. In this video, I’ll work with artboards [much like transparent pages in old-school hand-drawn animation] to create some easy animations. Affinity Designer has no potential [yet] to save lots of animated GIF recordsdata. As a workaround, I create a sequence of PNG photographs that I add to a web based GIF maker as an alternative.

Using exterior instruments

For the GIF animation, I used ezgif. There are a number of different instruments on the market – some free, some with subscriptions – in addition to standalone packages that may save animated GIFs. If you might have a instrument or on-line app you want to make use of, please go away the identify and URL within the feedback beneath. Thank you!

I hope you loved the video and really feel impressed to create your personal animated GIF. I had enjoyable doing a number of myself and used some on this video and others for posts or replies on social media. Affinity Designer shouldn’t be an animation instrument per se, however its vector graphics will be simply manipulated to design quick GIF animations shortly and simply.
