  • Animating Photoshop Layers (DJ Fonts)

    Posted by Sam Lussier on February 22, 2009 at 5:05 am

    The new DJ Fonts can export to Layered Photoshop files. The layers can either be by Phrase, Word, or Letter.

    I’d like to export by Letter, so that I can have each letter’s Layer “fly in” to place.

    Here’s the tricky part: This text/Photoshop file will change (to be customizable), and I’d like to simply replace the Photoshop file and not have to re-animate the new letters all over again.

    Any good ideas about accomplishing this?

    Thanks!

    In the AE project you can choose to replace footage on the PSD, which would swap out the old file for a new one. But if the words are different lengths, won’t you have to tweak the animation anyway??

    It seems I would have to tweak it with a different number and/or length of words. I was wondering if there were an expression (or something) that would allow me to apply my custom animation(s) to a new PSD or set of layers…
