video/animated gif background

Hey class,

I've been searching hi and low trying to find more info on moving/animated backgrounds.

You know those sites that have a big background header; instead of an image they have a short movie clip on repeat. It seems rather low quality so that it loads quickly too.

Anyone know some good places to find info on that?

Hey Brendan,

Check out this tutorial on creating animated gifs in photoshop.

I think the thing you really want to remember if to organize your layers so that you can duplicate them and make say and part of the image so that it creates movement between the keyframes.

Hope this helps
