With the rise of mobile devices, animated GIFs have regained popularity because they just work (unlike Flash animations which do not work on mobile devices). GIFs are an easy solution for short animations.
Photoshop lets you create numerous types of animations. Learn how to hide and show elements, fading them in or out, move things from one place to another, use Photoshop’s video timeline, and more. You’ll even add short video clips, and learn tips and tricks to create seamless loops!
This course is for people that have prior experience using Photoshop, but want to learn how to create and optimize animated GIFs.
Students should have equivalent knowledge of Photoshop to what we teach in our Photoshop Bootcamp.
From our hands-on training style to world-class instructors and custom-crafted curriculum, we deliver results our alumni are proud of.

Very pleased with the class. I definitely learned new ways of animating GIFs. Every exercise was precise and super helpful! I feel stronger making GIFs and will certainly implement them more in my future designs.

This was a great introductory course to animations in Photoshop! I am excited to take back what I learned and use at work.

Noble Desktop erased any fear I had about animated gifs. I had tried learning on my own and created what I wanted, but the process was beyond tedious and I avoided offering that service to clients. Noble Desktop showed me how much simpler and doable it could be and now I want to invest more time in learning this increasingly valued skill in my field.

This is my fourth class through Noble Desktop. Always a lot of information to absorb but it's broken down step-by-step with useful technical information that relates to the program. I appreciate that the exercises are created using a number of ways to execute a program.
