Next, rename this layer to looping video. Move the new video layer smart object out of the video group, and delete that group, since it really isn’t needed anymore. You’ll be prompted with a question about converting the video layer to a smart object layer, hit okay. Click the chain link since we don’t want to constrain the aspect ratio, and set 1080 pixels for the height. Here, I’m going to type 1920 pixels for the width. Once it’s loaded in, let’s go ahead and re-size it, we can do this by going to Image > Image Size.

mov files in Photoshop, you might need to install Quicktime on your machine. Now, what we need to do is put them all together and use some Photoshop magic to make it look how we want.įirst, open the looping video file directly in Photoshop.

Movie Tools is a resource of free to use looping video clips! I went through most and finally decided on this video clip. It took me a bit to get exactly what I wanted, but in the end I was really happy with the result and think it tied together well with what I needed next… an already made looping video.Īs with most things, I wanted to find a video that was available for use in any sort of project. In this case both designers simply asked for credit to be given, it’s the least we can do to thank them (thanks guys).Īfter I downloaded and loaded these brushes into Photoshop, I just took the time to make a nice black and white design. While this design might look complicated, it was actually quite easy to create, thanks to some amazing free resources I found on DeviantArt – the first was this set of tech brushes by Z-design and the second was another set of tech brushes by Jaaaiiro. There’s a lot of great resources on sites like DeviantArt – just double check to see what sort of usage the creators specify. Anyways, let’s start with the main design image.
Of course we could create the looping video completely ourselves, but the goal of this tutorial is to be complete in around 10 to 20 minutes. There’s two main components needed for my animated background: the main design image, and a preexisting looping video.
I didn’t want to recreate it exactly but come up with something that I felt worked for me and my channel. I really liked the dark background that had a sort of wave of colors come through every once in a while. To start, I was inspired by a background image I saw when I was checking out Razer’s new Chroma keyboards. Two, it’s very easy to do and can yield some great results with little effort. Why Photoshop? Well, for one, when I made my video, Photoshop was what I mainly used.
