This tutorial will show you about protocol to control motion and animation with layer in Photoshop.

1. Introduction

• Motion and Animation control in ARSA Language follows:
  1. Rotate
  2. Move
  3. MoveIn
  4. MoveOut
  5. Fade
  6. Scale
  7. Visible
  8. FlipBook
  9. Lottie
  10. Animated PNG
  11. GIF

2. Rotate

• Rotation a layer follows x y z axis.

  r=x y z [vel count pingpong]

  r=

3. Move

• Move layer on horizontal or vertical axis.

  move=start end [vel count pingpong]

  
  SourceCode: arsa081_Studio_Builtin_move
  
          
  
  

4. MoveIn

• Move layer into screen on horizontal or vertical axis.

  movein=[axis vel flag]

  See also

  movein=
  SourceCode: arsa081_Studio_Builtin_move
  
          
  
  

5. MoveOut

• Move layer outside screen on horizontal or vertical axis.

  moveout=[axis vel flag]

  See also

  moveout=
  SourceCode: arsa081_Studio_Builtin_move
  
          
  
  

6. Fade

• Fade layer in-out.

  fade=start end [vel count pingpong]

  See also

  fade=
  SourceCode: arsa082_Studio_Builtin_fade
  
          
  
  

7. Scale

• Scale layer large or small.

  scale=start end [vel count pingpong]

  
  SourceCode: arsa083_Studio_Builtin_scale
  
          
  
  

8. Visible

• Visible layer by percent.

  visible=axis start end [vel count pingpong flag]

  
  SourceCode: arsa084_Studio_Builtin_visible
  
          

9. FlipBook

• FlipBook animation is traditional animation frame by frame. User should grouping all animation layers in Photoshop.
• Rename group of animation layers follow:

  animate=name [fps=30 loop=true play]

  1. name is animation name alias.
  2. fps is frame speed, more is fast less is slow, 30 is default

     See also

     setfps(const char* layername,int fps )

  3. loop is loop flags: true, once, pp

     See also

     setloopflags(const char* layername,int flags )

  4. play is command playback animation

     See also

     play(const char *layername)

10. Lottie

• Lottie animation is a JSON-based animation file format that enables designers to ship animations on any platform as easily as shipping static assets. They are small files that work on any device and can scale up or down without pixelation.

lottie="name" [fps loop pingpong width height]

1. name is lottie animation file name (MUST under double quote -> "filename.json"). May be user can download from official website: https://lottiefiles.com/
2. fps is frame speed, more is fast less is slow, 30 is default.
3. loop is boolean 1 = true, 0 = false (once)
4. pingpong style animation playback (start->end->start); boolean 1 = true, 0 = false (once)
5. width quality size of texture in width, default: 512 pixel
6. height quality size of texture in height, default: 512 pixel

11. Animated PNG

• Animated Portable Network Graphics (APNG) is a file format which extends the Portable Network Graphics (PNG) specification to permit animated images that work similarly to animated GIF files, while supporting 24-bit images and 8-bit transparency not available for GIFs. It also retains backward compatibility with non-animated PNG files. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APNG

video="name.png" [loop]

1. name is animated png file name (MUST under double quote -> "filename.png").
2. loop is boolean 1 = true, 0 = false (once)

12. GIF

• The Graphics Interchange Format is a bitmap image format that was developed by a team at the online services provider CompuServe led by American computer scientist Steve Wilhite and released on 15 June 1987.[1] It is in widespread usage on the World Wide Web due to its wide support and portability between applications and operating systems. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIF

video="name.gif" [loop]

1. name is gif file name (MUST under double quote -> "filename.gif").
2. loop is boolean 1 = true, 0 = false (once)
