Hi! This is my first tutorial. I hope you like it

You will learn here how to do that effect:

You can make that in tutorial below or you can download video tutorial made by my friend (thanks to dura007k ) .:ownload tuto::.

OK. Let's begin.

1. First of all You must have userbars (if You don't have, You can make them here link)

 I made two:
 
  - userbar 1
  and
  - userbar 2

2. Make new document (with exactly the same resolution as yours userbars - mine have 300px x 19px)

3. Paste your userbars to that document (name them like in image)

4. Make a copy of your top layer (userbar 2) and bring it to the backward

5. Chose Move Tool (V) and take your top 'userbar 2' under the canvas

6. Open ImageReady (or just Animation window in CS3 version)

7. You will see the first frame. Press the 'Duplicates selected frames' button to make a copy of first frame

8. Bring up your hided userbar 2 (in 5. point) using move tool

9. Press the 'Tweens...' button and type '10' in 'Frames to Add'

10. Go to your last frame and take your middle userbar (userbar 1) under the canvas. Make top layer invisible

11. Duplicate last frame and bring up your middle userbar.

12. Press 'Tweens...' button and type '10' in 'Frames to Add'

13. We almost over. Now change the delay time in your 12th and 23rd frame to 2 seconds

And that's all I hope that you understand all of it. If you got any questions just ask

Good luck!

very nice !! thanxx !!

Thank you Maybe show us your result?

Very nice. Thanks for this tutorial, it will be useful to pretty much people I think. Nice contribution to the forum.

Very useful tutorial keep it up

This is a good tutorial about the animation, however, I think you can improve the quality of your userbars by adding a stroke (1px black) and reducing the opacity of the pattern!

Example:

good suggestion thanks

Nice tutorial, thanks !

Good tuto man!!

Thanks Make your changing userbars and share your results

BTW - what do you think about my new userbar?

Thnx for this great tutorial

My result:

I think that should help you:

1. At the first frame place your second userbar like in image below:

2. Copy your first frame and place second userbar also like on this image

because I think that you have placed userbar in that place:

Then follow the tutorial

Is now good?

Thanks for creating that video dura007k. Perhaps earnur, you can put a link to it in your first post of the tutorial?

Of course I can

I've added that link to my first post

Thanks for "thanks" in your first post

No problem bro

err...is it just me and i overlooked something or why doesn't my gif move? so, i made a animation and in photoshop it worked fine and looked nice and then i saved it as gif, and my gif doesn't move

How did you save your gif file?

I do not think you can save animations in Photoshop.  Image ready will work

Not exactly DarkLady Photoshop CS3 have already builded Animation module. And it haven't ImageReady.

Me xD Try to save that file by pressing SHIFT+ALT+CTRL+S (it's Save for Web)

Ah gotcha... I still use CS2 so I did not know that.  Good to know and will be having a look for CS3 in the future.  Thanks.

aaaah, thank you very mutch, now it works
so here's my result, i used 3 userbars (in the animation part i did it lots of times again cause i made some misstakes lol), maybe you like it
userbar2.gif
edit: to answer your question: i saved it just by: file-->save as

No problem Now, if you know how to make animated userbars, maybe try to make your own userbars?
